Traveling to the coast, we visit the Oceanic Society's research facilities at the Galibi Sea Turtle Nature Reserve. Working in cooperation with the Surinam Nature Foundation, Oceanic Society researchers are monitoring sea turtle reproductive success. We can expect to see nesting leatherback and green sea turtles, and learn about sea turtle biology first hand. Leatherback sea turtles reach six feet in length and weigh 1,000 pounds, and seeing these ancient ocean dwellers offers a view into our prehistoric past. We stay in a newly built small lodge situated adjacent to the beach.
Accommodations are in double occupancy rooms with private baths.
