Loved the night-time turtles!
May 31, 2025by: Mya SantosIt was so much fun and I learned so much. My favorite part was getting to see the turtles come up the shore in the night time. Our leaders were the best and took good care of us and made sure we stayed very safe.
You won't get this experience anywhere else.
May 31, 2025by: Karli MarquezI loved it. You won't ever get such amazing experiences anywhere else, personally or professionally. On top of that, they had amazing activities like kayaking, a chocolate tour, and seeing the community. I'd gladly do it again.
Amazing staff!
