In season, which varies by species I think, they let the hatchling turtles go at about sunset so all you need to do is know the location of the camp
and arrive at about 45 minutes before sunset and you can participate.
Once you get the system down and locations, you'll find you have the whole day free to visit the beach or surf and then at the end of the day head
over to the turtle sanctuary and finish off your day watching the turtle hatchlings enter the sea, hang with the vigilantes, then if you like head off
to dinner and home.
The more you find out about turtles the more amazed you'll be.

Wonderful photo with the babies crawling to the sea at sunset - should be a Baja calendar photo.

Absolutely superb photos of the baby turtles!!!!
I second that the sunset photo needs to go in the BAJA Calendar.

I went buy the turlte sanctuary in BOLA late March and it looked closed up. I am looking forward to checking out more of these up and down the coast
and volunteering if possible.

I found this on my local Craigslist. It's not in Baja but in mainland Mexico. This organization looks like they do quite a few good things. Scroll
down to see the volunteer Turtle locations.
