SPECTO has made the difficult decision to end our turtle watching tours early for the 2025 nesting season, effective immediately. This comes in response to a noticeable drop in leatherback turtle activity on Levera Beach, and while sightings are never guaranteed, the continued absence of turtles on tour nights made this necessary. Thank you for your understanding and continued support
