Save, learn, help, protect, enjoy and contribute. This tour is for anyone who wants to leave Cozumel a little better than how they found it. You will be led by the biologist’s team member who spearheads the Save the Endangered Sea Turtle Program. This is a hand’s on tour in that you will actually save the sea turtles. The Save a Sea Turtle Program has been one of Cozumel’s best kept secrets. The groundbreaking new conservation system has been adopted by many other state wide programs with the help from local volunteers. Cozumel boasts the most Sea Turtle nests per kilometer than any other area in Mexico by a 3 to 1 ratio. This increased volume of fertile ground has as much to do with the island’s history as it does with the Save a Turtle Program that had only been open to the local public and is now being open to a select few visitors so they, too, can witness this marvel of nature. There are several aspects to turtle protection & conservation. The portion that we will be permitted due to the hour of the day that your ship is in port is the “save a turtle” portion. Every evening the turtles hatch and make their way to the sea. This is a natural process, but in the frenzy of the nest only about 80% of the hatched turtles actually have the stamina and energy to climb out. You will help rescue the 20% of turtles (who were not ready for the dash to the sea from the previous evening) by digging them out and they will be kept until they are mature enough to be released. This process is extremely heartwarming and satisfactory as you will be directly involved in saving the life of the little turtle so it may have a true chance at life. Never have visitors been able to witness and participate in this truly remarkable event until now. Note: Participants must be at least 8 years of age. This tour is not suitable for guests with physical disabilities or who use walking aids such as canes, walkers or wheelchairs. less
