Program of your turtle night spotting adventure

in this case while coming to seashore to lay eggs. WeBy boat, we sail on the Suriname and Commewijne River. Along the way, we will encounter numerous coastal birds resting in the mangrove. Like the different herons, stalks, the American frigate, and seagulls. If you are lucky you can also spot pink dolphins in their natural habitat! The turtles will come on the beach to lay their eggs. Please follow the instructions of the guide. If the turtle is disturbed she will go back to the sea and lay her eggs in the water instead of the beach. 

 The 4 sea turtles that occur in Suriname are:

• Warana (Olive ridley)
• The Karet (Hawksbill)
• Krape, Green sea turtle (Green sea turtle, soup turtle)
• Giant Leader Turtle, called Aitkanti (Leatherback).

Sustainable: We believe the best way to see sea turtles is in their natural habitat and in our case while coming to shore to lay their eggs. While on the beach waiting and spotting the turtles we have to comply with the strict rules from WWF. Our guides will explain them to you when you are there.
