Baby Turtle Release El Paredon

The Driftwood Surfer Conservation Project: Join Our Daily Turtle Release at 5:45 AM

At Driftwood Surfer Hotel, we’re committed to protecting and preserving the precious sea turtles in Guatemala. From September to December, we conduct a daily turtle release program that allows you to be a part of this important conservation effort.

Sadly, poaching on turtle eggs is still legal in Guatemala. However, at Driftwood Surfer, we take action by purchasing all the eggs from poachers. Every year, we buy back over 60,000 eggs, preventing them from being sold on the black market and eaten as aphrodisiacs.

Once in our care, the eggs are carefully placed in our hatchery, where they are nurtured and monitored until they hatch. It’s a labor of love and dedication. And when the time is right, we release these baby turtles back into the ocean, giving them a fighting chance at survival.

By joining our daily turtle release at 5:45 AM, you become a vital part of this conservation project. Witness the awe-inspiring moment as these tiny hatchlings make their way to the sea, embarking on their remarkable journey of life.

Make a difference and contribute to the preservation of sea turtles by participating in The Driftwood Surfer Conservation Project. Book your stay and be a part of this incredible initiative that aims to protect these magnificent creatures for generations to come.
