5.00Luis picked me up outside of my place in Zihua, and from the moment I was in his van, he started to teach me and my tour mates cool things about Mexico. Luis is fun, professional, personable and knowledgeable about the turtles. Releasing the turtles into the Ocean was a peak lifetime experience for me. Do it!
Highly recommend!! 10/10

5.00Our guide Pablo was a great source of information which made the 45 min or so trip to the turtle farm pass quickly. There is a short ATV trip from a village out to the ocean. Great to see life in rural Mexico. The turtle farmers are committed to their cause as they patrol the beach nightly. Lots of ino proved on turtle species and lifecycles. All the turtles we released made it to the water...much to the relief of my wife! I expected a group tour, but it ended up being private. Very enjoyable.

5.00This was one of the most beautiful and emotional experiences of my life. Francisco is an amazing guide — so knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about protecting these little babies. You can feel how much he loves what he does. We learned so much about the turtles, their journey, and how important this moment is for their survival. Watching the tiny babies make their way to the ocean…I almost cried. It was magical, peaceful, and unforgettable. If you’re in the area, this tour is a MUST. Thank you, Francisco, for making this experience so special for us. We will remember it forever. 🐢💛🌊
The best!

5.00I will tell you we had a most phenomenal experience releasing the baby turtles with Luis! He picked us up at our resort on time and we had a nice drive to a secluded beach where the Turtle sanctuary is located. We had a very safe and fun ride on the back of ATV up through a palm tree coconut forest, to the beautiful beach. We were the only people there for miles on either side. We got a very thorough and friendly education about all the different turtles In Mexico and what they do to save them from predators every night. Then we each got a basket of our 1 hour old baby Turtles and released them to the ocean. It was very emotional and all of us cried tears of joy. I could feel their drive to get to the waters and be free and safe. Luis was a fun, funny and gentle and knowledgeable tour guide. He also took us shopping and helped translate. If you want a good time and feel safe- book a trip with Luis! We will be back and for sure doing more with him.
Terrific
