Good park, striving to preserve the rarest, the biggest and most ancient turtles in the world.

Amazing sunsets, perfect for surfing, very little shade and no pets allowed.

We booked a canoe tour of the estuary in this park. Jonathan was a great guide. We started at Hotel las Tortugas. Jonathan showed an older couple and my wife and I where to enter the estuary.
Then Jonathan guided us around the estuary for two and a half hours on two canoes. We saw amazing trees, a crocodile, crazy birds, howler monkeys, colorful crabs. Jonathan was skilled at pointing all these out.
The only thing I felt a bit confused about is why there are so many lots of land "for sale" inside of the Baulas "National Park" at the start and end of the tour. Square lots of land have been cleared of trees, which used to be monkey habitat. I wish the government did more to protect the wildlife.
Also I heard that there used to be hundreds of turtles every night, but when we went with the wonderful guide Thomas a couple nights ago, we only saw one, because there's more real estate at the beach causing serious damage with light pollution.
(I do recommend the turtle tour with Thomas for $30/person. You'll find him selling coconut water around noon in the parking lot of Hotel las Tortugas.)
I'm glad we got a canoe tour instead of a motor boat tour. There is such amazing nature there and the few times a motorboat came by, we were so glad we chose canoe. The motorboat is just loud and smelly and should be banned. There's no reason to take a motor boat. Even elder folks can canoe, since Jonathan did the paddling for the older couple. Motor boats probably really disturb the nature too.
Highly recommend coming to see all the wildlife! We booked it for $60 with a debit card at Hotel las Tortugas.

Favortie beaches, in a national park. Dont have to deal with insane amounts of people or commerce... just chill. Some of the best waves for surfing, but we ware of the rip currents. Also if you want to have a chance to see the leather back turtles, you need to check into the local tourisim office, limited spaces availavle and there are no guarantees you'll see them either.

Would be nice to see the turtles but there are less and less of them. In Jan-Feb 2017 they were spotted only every third day.
Sometimes they don't answer the phone but they do have the night tours every day. If not in high season, just come for a visit around 11:30pm (don't forget your passports)
