What people say

"One of the best places in Costa Rica to see turtles - One of seven sites in the world with the "arribada" or mass gathering of nesting turtles - Best time to visit is May - December - Must enter refuge with a guide. You can hire a guide at the guide association office in downtown by the soccer field or book a tour with a tour company."

"This is a good spot to see turtles and hatches but remember to look up regulations before venturing out alone. It is a good idea to go with a group or guide for safety reasons and preserving the wildlife."
