Boscobel / Tower Isles / Ocho Rios / Runaway Bay

  • Overview
  • What to expect on this tour
  • Witness the Miracle of Hawksbill Turtle Nesting and Hatching
  • Jamaica is a haven not only for visitors but also for the enchanting Hawksbill turtles, who grace our beaches from June to October each year to nest and hatch. This unforgettable experience offers a rare glimpse into the incredible journey of these gentle creatures.
  • Experience the Magic:
  • Every summer, mother turtles come ashore under the moonlight, painstakingly digging nests in the warm sand to lay at times, up to 160 eggs. After about two months of incubation, the tiny hatchlings break free to embark on their perilous journey to the sea. This awe-inspiring event is one of nature's most captivating spectacles and you can be a part of it.
  • Become a Warden of Nature:
  • Join us as we support these newborns in their first steps toward the ocean. As guardians of this delicate process, we ensure the hatchlings make it safely to the water, increasing their chances of survival. Your involvement makes a significant difference in the conservation efforts of these endangered creatures.
