Have you ever dreamed of watching tiny baby turtles make their way to the ocean under a golden Costa Rican sunrise? The unforgettable baby turtle hatching Ostional is one of the most magical wildlife encounters you can experience — and it happens right here, just minutes from Hotel Luna Azul.
Nestled in the hills overlooking Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline, Hotel Luna Azul is your gateway to this incredible natural phenomenon. We’re located just a short drive from Playa Ostional, one of the world’s most important nesting beaches for olive ridley sea turtles.
What is the Baby Turtle Hatching Ostional Experience?
Each year, during specific lunar cycles, thousands of olive ridley turtles come ashore in what is called the arribada—a mass nesting event that happens only in a few places on Earth. Roughly 45–60 days after these adult turtles lay their eggs, waves of baby turtles hatch and begin their brave journey to the sea.
Watching hatchlings emerge from the sand and head to the ocean is an awe-inspiring sight.
It’s a hopeful, beautiful moment that makes Costa Rica a top destination for eco-travelers and wildlife lovers.
