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.
