Choose between one of the two beaches below:
Just one hour south of Samara Beach you can find Camaronal Beach where every night between June and December, the Olive Ridley sea turtles come to nest in small but consistent numbers (not more than 20).

“WOW! Being able to experience the Arribada, the mass nesting of sea turtles was the highlight of my trip! This tour is one of a kind. I was so fortunate to see 200 mama turtles that night!!! It was a beautiful and intense experience, and honestly the coolest thing I’ve done in Costa Rica! Thank you Sámara Sea Tours and the best guides ever for giving me this experience! Pura vida!
