A turtle-watch overnight program in development at Nicholas Caye, and lionfish dive trips with our crew and partners.

Turtle watch at Nicholas Caye

A small overnight program on a private island inside the Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve, during hawksbill nesting season. Guests are supervised spotters: you help staff stay alert through the night and raise the alarm the moment a turtle comes ashore. Trained staff do everything else. Guests never handle turtles, nests, eggs or hatchlings, and never collect data.

  • No more than 8 guests on the island at any time.
  • The island runs under red light at night to protect nesting turtles and hatchlings.
  • Alternating three-day and four-day trips.
  • Days: turtle watch, lionfish hunting, reef surveys, beach cleanup and conservation education.

Status: in development. Dates, pricing and booking aren't set yet. Leave your details and you'll hear first.
