About this activity

Sunset Sea Turtle Release – A Puerto Vallarta Conservation Adventure

Join local conservationists on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta as you witness the magical moment when baby sea turtles make their first journey to the ocean. This unforgettable sunset experience blends natural beauty, hands-on learning, and a unique opportunity to support vital wildlife preservation efforts along Mexico’s Pacific coast.

Releasing baby sea turtles into the sea isn’t just a dream come true for nature lovers—it’s a meaningful way to contribute to the survival of these incredible creatures. Guided by dedicated biologists, you'll gain a deeper understanding of sea turtle behavior, their life cycle, and the challenges they face in the wild.

As you walk to the turtle camp, you’ll also have the chance to learn about the surrounding mangrove ecosystems—an essential and often overlooked part of coastal conservation. It’s an immersive, inspiring adventure that connects you to nature in the most memorable way.
