Is there on in Acapulco? We are going to the one in Manzanillo week after next. I have heard good things about it. Unfortunately, we were not able to find a private tour company that went there, so we are going throught the ship's excursion.

We did the Manzanillo turtle tour last December from the Carnival Spirit. We enjoyed the day, and everyone got to release a baby turtle into the sea. Kind of sad - they are so tiny to put into that powerful water! We enjoyed the little boat ride in the lagoon? area - that was much like the Florida Everglades. Lunch at a beachside restaurant was good, and from there we could walk down to the ocean where there were BIG waves along a very long stretch of beach. It was a good excursion. We wished we could have spent a longer time at the beach area after lunch. Lots of vendors there with interesting wares to buy at reasonable prices.

 

I would like to hear about the turtle excursion in Acapulco too. Anyone?

I took the tour in Alcapulco last December. We were very dissapointed in the tour. After a short bus ride we came to a shed with a dishpan full of baby turtles which we were given at the shoreline and set on the sand. The babys then went into the water. We also had a box lunch. A small bottle of water, an apple and an unedable cookie. This was the first time that I have complained to the cruise line about an excursion.

Glad to hear from someone that has done this excursion in Acapulco as we were thinking of doing it 'cause we enjoyed the one in Manzanillo so much. These are definitely two different places!

its ok,, but you can do it on your own for free .. it costs nothing to get in the place, only for a taxi,, i didnt know that..

they take donations only at the turtle sanctuary,..

i would do it on my own instead of paying 52$ per person like we did ,,,,

 

it was a nice experience ,, since weve never held turtles..

i have some pics ,, if you want to see them

check out my link

 

any other questions , let me know
