Experience an unforgettable turtle-watching tour on the east coast of Trinidad in the village of Matura. A short walk through a forest trail leads to one of the island’s important nesting beaches, though alternative sites may be used depending on weather and road conditions.
From March 15 to August 31, endangered Leather back turtles—the largest sea turtles, reaching up to seven feet and over 2,000 pounds—come ashore to nest after traveling thousands of miles. Females may visit several times each season to lay hundreds of eggs.
This tour offers a rare natural spectacle while supporting local community conservation efforts.
