It is sad to know that groups of up to 50 people are led to the nesting sights where the sea turtles return each year. The more people on the beaches at night results in more turtles dumping their eggs offshore rather than being a spectacle for tourists.

I was there with my sun's class on a field trip an had an awesome time. With the tour we learnt so much and heart about plants and wild life. It's an educational trip when you have a tour to see the interesting stuff on the path. Without tour I guess it's boring.

My mom and I visited their storefront in August just to see what they're all about, and there was a very helpful gentleman there who was so willing to answer all of our questions.
