Turtle Nesting Tours

Ostional Turtle Nesting Tour a.k.a. “La Arribada”

At Ostional you have the chance to witness an amazing natural phenomenon called the ARRIBADA. The arribada is the time the sea turtles come to lay their eggs in staggering numbers for a couple days. A few hundred turtles, if not thousands have been known to appear from the depth of the sea to make their nests in the sand.

Arribadas occur during certain months of the year from October to March. But between June and December, you can see larger “arribadas”.

We only offer this tour when there is an “arribada”, so you can enjoy the authentic experience! It is a sight you will never forget!
