Turtles Tour

Because we all love them!
Turtles Tour image

Introduction

Braamspunt is a sand strip situated in the north of Suriname where the two rivers; Commewijne and Suriname river, merge together. Together with the guide you will search for turtles who are coming out of the Atlantic Ocean and finding a place on the beach to lay their eggs.

This process is something wonderful to see! 

This tour will be guided by a local guide.

If you prefer one of our specialized wildlife guides with you, choose the add-on option during your booking.



The turtle season runs from February until early August.
