Unique emotions - Fantastic experience, which combines the adrenaline-filled driving of the buggy with the extraordinary experience of turtle spotting.
As for the buggies, they are very safe machines that we drove both on the road and in the desert, with lights totally adequate for night driving.
The marine guides were really clear and exhaustive in explaining to us in Italian everything regarding spawning. Really exciting!
As a backdrop, a starry sky never seen before, to leave you breathless.

Once in a life time, amazing! - Great fun taking the buggys across the dunes! The team took us straight to a turtle laying its eggs before it made its way back to the waters edge. Not only an amazing experience but the crew were very knowledgable and a great laugh! Thanks guys, Highly recommend to everyone. Steve and Kerrie.

Fantastic trip - Great trip by the no limits guys. All are very knowledgeable about the turtles. We got to see a turtle lay her eggs on a quiet beach and go back to the sea. There was no rushing.... No stress! Thanks guys

Excellent adventure thoroughly enjoyed - Our thanks goes out to Valdir (Dugas), Kenny and Fifa for a thoroughly enjoyable buggy drive with turtle watching
It was amazing and not the first time we have booked in advance from the comfort from home
We were picked up from hotel and escorted to Santa Marie where we changed into overalls and listened to the safety briefing. Totally professional
We made our way through the desert in the dark to the beach where we saw the amazing phenomenon of the turtles leaving the sea to lay their eggs. How amazing and followed by a shooting star whizzing across the dark skyline. Words cannot describe what we saw and was almost rehearsed by the turtle to perform just at the right time.
Back on the buggies to make our way back to Santa Maria and back to our hotel.
Can thoroughly recommend this experience to all but just remember you will need to take your driving licence to drive the buggies and don’t forget your scarves to protect your nose and mouth from the dust and sand
