Program Overview

Program Description:

Part of the activities our volunteers engage in include night patrols to eliminate illegal looting, protecting baby turtles (while hatching births), beach cleanups and general maintenance work on the facilities. We also need help with ongoing research projects. Due to staffing shortages, volunteer support is critical!

Help the endangered sea turtles on Costa Rica's stunning Pacific Coast - enjoy Costa Rica's stunning scenery while experiencing one of the Top 5 biggest turtle destinations. Tropical Adventures Foundation is one of only two organizations with contracts to bring volunteers into Costa Rica's National Parks. Get up close and experience first-hand these majestic and magical animals.

Setting Description:

Our sea-turtle project is based out of the stunning Ostional Wildlife Reserve in Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula. See our website for photos and what our volunteers have written about their experiences in our Volunteer Blog.
