Following a presentation about sea turtles, their habitats, and threats they face, participants walk the beach with Sea Turtle Oversight Protection staff. During the walk, staff will explain how & why nests are protected, about their incubation cycle and what commonly happens to the hatchlings on a densely urbanized beach like Fort Lauderdale. We’ll discuss hatchling disorientation due to artificial lights, why this occurs and what S.T.O.P is doing to make a difference. Please note, there is no promise or guarantee that you will see hatchings. Based on our 2024 permit conditions, the group is not allowed to visit or sit near nests that may hatch. Our goal is to educate and inspire you during your time with us and ensure a fulfilling experience. If you are fortunate enough to witness these amazing animals, it will be something that you will never forget.
100% of the Turtle Trek proceeds help us fund our rescue operations. Turtle Treks take place Thurs. Fri. and Sat. evening in August & September.
Space is limited. Reservations are required.
$20 per person, regardless of age.
