It was an incredible experience to witness the majestic turtles in their natural habitat! My heart was filled with joy and wonder. What made it even better was the presence of knowledgeable marine biologists who were there to ensure the safety and well-being of both the turtles and the tourists. I was pleasantly surprised by their attention to detail and dedication to preserving the beauty of the beach. Overall, it was a truly unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a unique and enriching adventure.

Visited the beach at night to catch a glimpse of the majestic turtle. After an hour of waiting, we were fortunate enough to witness one. The experience was truly awe-inspiring. However, our joy was short-lived as we found ourselves surrounded by a large group of 50-60 people, accompanied by six tour guides. The use of flashlights by the visitors proved to be a disturbance to the turtles. To our dismay, all the other groups, except ours, left after a while, and in their haste, they scared away all the turtles with their flash and headlights. We were unable to spot any other turtles after this incident. Therefore, if you plan on visiting this beach, it is recommended to opt for a small group tour guide to ensure a peaceful and undisturbed experience.
