Overview

This is real sea turtle conservation, not a staged show. Release timing follows actual nesting activity, guided live by a marine biologist from Mazatlan's conservation program (OAP) — a genuinely wild moment, not a performance. Hatching season runs September–December only. Spots are limited to protect the hatchlings, so book ahead to guarantee your date. Watch a hatchling's first journey to the Pacific up close. Guests observe only, never handle — making this a real conservation encounter, not a photo-op. The unforgettable part: your Sea Turtle Sponsor Certificate lets you symbolically name the hatchling released. Thanks to natal homing, turtles return 10–15 years later, as adults, to the exact beach they entered — the one you name today may return here full-grown. Kids get it free; adults can add an optional donation. Then relax with a beachfront Day Pass in Cerritos — pool, beach, and (with the upgrade) a meal and drinks. Purpose and relaxation, one seasonal excursion.

What's included

  • Stay refreshed onboard — every vehicle is stocked with an ice-filled cooler, bottled water, and soft drinks throughout your ride to and from Cerritos.
  • Public transportation
  • Enjoy a beachfront Day Pass in Cerritos with full access to the pool and beach.
  • Lunch is not included, but can be purchased on-site at the beach club, or you can select the Food & Drinks upgrade to have a meal and beverages included in advance.

    Mazatlan

    Pass by

    On the way to Cerritos, enjoy a scenic drive along Mazatlan's coastline, passing the Golden Zone (Zona Dorada) and the iconic Malecon boardwalk, one of the longest in the world. In Cerritos, you'll experience the sea turtle conservation site and a beachfront hotel with pool and ocean views. Private group guests also enjoy a brief city tour plus a tequila tasting in the Golden Zone — a great first look at Mazatlan's beaches, boardwalk, and local flavor, all in one outing.

Meeting and pickup
