Amazing Turtle Release Tour

This was an amazing day. My heart has never been fuller because of the sea turtles, the community that protects them, and Tomas Vicente’s company. Every minute of this tour was great, from the minute Tomas picked us up until the night was over. It’s important to note that it says this is a bus tour and it’s Not. It’s a private tour. He has two clean, safe, comfortable vehicles-one for small groups and one for bigger groups.

Tomas has so much knowledge to share- he is a native Zapotec who also speaks perfect English and Spanish. We learned so much from him, but more important, he has the best demeanor and personality, we felt like we were old friends right away.

The local community protects the sea turtle eggs from poachers and as soon as they hatch, they need to be released into the ocean. It was such a blessing to set the tortugitas off into the ocean and to spend time with the people who center their lives around protecting them.

I gave Tomas my phone to take pictures and videos so I could be fully present with the beautiful experience and he took so many incredible photos and videos for us (which I sadly can’t upload here because of the file size limit)

I recommend this tour so much, and any tour with Tomas from Amazing Huatulco. Wish we could have spent our entire vacation with him! Since he was booked for the rest of our trip, he did recommend another great tour guide for our next excursion.

Tomas was easily one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. Incredibly knowledgeable, and super friendly he did everything to make the tour perfect. And the work being done at La Escobilla is so important, it’s a great opportunity to support a wonderful cause. And of course the baby turtles are absolutely adorable!! I couldn’t recommend it more!
