Discover Ostional Turtle Season

In Playa Ostional, Costa Rica, nature reveals its full glory with the massive arrival of sea turtles. This fascinating phenomenon, known as the arribada, captivates wildlife enthusiasts and those seeking authentic and sustainable experiences. At Guanavista, we invite you to witness this natural wonder while enjoying the comfort and luxury that only our oceanfront community can offer.

When to see turtles in Ostional?

The turtle season in Ostional varies depending on the species. Olive ridley turtles take center stage from July to December, while green turtles and leatherbacks choose to nest from October to March. However, if you want to witness the arribada in its full splendor, the months of August to October are ideal. During this time, thousands of olive ridley turtles arrive at the beach to nest under the night sky, creating an unforgettable experience.

Experience the Arribada Day and Night

Although most turtles arrive at night, the largest arribadas can also be observed in broad daylight. This rare and spectacular event allows you to see hundreds of thousands of turtles arriving simultaneously on the beach. From sunset to sunrise, the landscape transforms into a wildlife sanctuary.
