Turtle Tours in Palm Beach area?

[sportyluis]

Hi All,

Not sure this is the right place to post this but I was reading that in Florida they have night tours where you can see Turtles nesting. I was reading that there are tours available but to only take official tours done by park officials to make sure the turtles aren't disturbed. Unfortunately I can't find any information on where to do tours (so maybe the article was incorrect) but I thought I'd check here in case there are any known ones.

I'll be in the Blue Heron Bridge area from Aug 26 to Sept 2nd.

Thanks!

Luis

Gumbo Limbo Nature Center schedules turtle walks but I believe they are booked for the rest of the year as thier site says. Maybe giving a call is worth it.

Also I think the turtle rescue center in Juno Beach also does walks but not to sure on that one.

IMO I rather just walk the beach myself if I’m interested in doing it. I have seen two turtles lay eggs while on the beach fishing at night never seen them hatch though.

A little North, but FOS does them, but not within your timeframe.
I believe the nesting period usually ends in August.
I did the FOS tour when my daughter worked there and was fortunate to see 2 loggerhead nestings.
