Release of Sea Turtles in Camp Tortuguero
Samantha_W, Sep 2026
Turtle release
The turtle release was amazing. You learned a little bit about the turtles, them hatching, the different breeds of turtles. You can even name your turtle and watch it swim into the beach water. The hosts Eddie and Toni were great. But the humidity kicked our butts. So stay hydrated! Definitely recommend!

You should go ride a horse!
This was so much fun! I haven’t ridden a horse in 30 years, but I felt very safe and supported, and it was a really good experience. The horses were gentle and healthy — not at all dispirited like you see at some tours. Our guide Saul was wonderful — funny and friendly and really good at taking pics for us! The food was delicious, and the tequila tasting was top-notch.

Puerto Vallarta Sea Turtle Release & Conservation Experience

If you’re considering, DO IT!
This was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life and I am so glad I booked it. I arrived about 1.25 hours early to poke around Marina Vallarta and they let me use the restroom early. I poked around and saw many friendly iguanas near the pier, so friendly the business owners picked flowers so I could feed them. They gave us a detailed class on the turtle species and anatomy. We packed up and headed out, along the way our tour guide offered us snacks and drinks and pointed out the crocodiles along the golf course and stopped for us to photograph. He was very very kind, personable and knowledgeable. We walked along the beach where he was able to show us crocodile tracks, crab and turtle tracks. When we got to the camp, he showed us where the eggs hatch and brought out the baby’s. He gave us ample time to photograph and video them before handing them to us. I really appreciated him photographing me with my baby turtles as I traveled alone. The release was incredible. On our way back, we were able to see a turtle laying eggs which is very rare. He let us take photos with him shining the red light. Then we walked back and drove back to EcoTours where he called me a taxi and I left! I would absolutely recommend this to any and everyone.

Best activity in PV and EcoTours is the best!
This is my second time going and it was just as incredible as the first time. EcoTours makes it all so easy. They blend education and experience perfectly. It’s a truly magical experience. We even saw a Turtle on the beach actively laying eggs in our walk back to the van. Our guide made sure everyone stayed a respectable distance away and use red light so as not to disturb her but allowing people to get pictures. And they alerted the Turtle Camp so they could come protect the nest. They don’t just call the talk of ecotourism they live it. And the guide is top notch. I 100% recommend!

great!
Martin was such a vibe and obviously well trained with the horses! our tequila guy was amazing with the information he provided, you can tell he loves his job. the food was great & learning how to make our own salsa was fun!! thank youuu. now the only i wished was different was maybe spending like 5 minutes with the horse we rode lol i think it’s important to build that relationship.. i do understand that cuts into time but as a horse owner i know that relationship and trust is important.

Must book this trip!
We had a wonderful time riding the horses through the intense nature and crossing the river multiple times, until we reach the hike that took us to a spectacular waterfall. Went back to the ranch and had a delicious lunch. Everyone was friendly and our guide was very nice. He had a dog, Capo, who helped guide us through our excursion 😂 so cute, strong little dog that crossed the river and was leading the horses hilarious 😂 we would definitely do this trip again! Thank you!

We had an absolutely delightful experience on this magical September night, enjoying fun kayaking through the rock tunnels, swimming while experiencing the bioluminescence then finishing with a delicious dinner on a perfect summer evening! German was an excellent guide and very accommodating after we had to reschedule from a pop up thunderstorm the day before. Highly recommend the entire experience and the amazing food! We will absolutely be back!
