Sea Turtle Walks

 

The following organizations offer night-time guided sea turtle walks to learn about sea turtles and (hopefully) to observe a turtle while nesting. If planning to attend a turtle walk, always call to set up an appointment. Note that the dates and start times of these walks will vary, as will the ending times. The capacity of these tours are limited and there may be a charge for participation.

There are NO GUARANTEES! You may see a turtle, you may not.

If you want to see a turtle nesting, you are strongly encouraged to do so while participating in one of these guided walks. Inexperienced people going on their own often disturb turles (a Federal offense!) and cause them to abandon their nesting effort.
