Mexican Giant Sea Turtles
From May to October, giant 300 lb. sea turtles arrive at Playa del Secreto each year to lay their eggs. Each night, as many as 10 new nests can be found on the Playa del Secreto beach. You may sit in the sand next to these wonderful creatures and watch as they lay their eggs and then walk with them as they return to the sea. It is an experience of a lifetime!
Snorkeling trips to nearby reefs are available. The 2 hour trip is on a fully equipped boat with a bathroom and
includes beer, soft drinks and snacks for $25 per person.
