During July, August & September we can take you on a guided walk to see one of nature's most spectacular events - a turtle coming ashore to lay her eggs. Then from August to December there are baby turtles being born before your eyes in the hatchery. Adopting a baby turtle or a whole nest is a unique and genuinely Capeverdean souvenir! You will receive a certificate and photos of your baby or babies after they are born. A great gift for friends and family back home.Turtle SOS is a Capeverdean non-profit association and all donations are used to protect turtles in Cape Verde.Hatchery visits are free but times do vary so please check with your hotel when you arrive. « less
