Our guide and bus will meet us at the airport and transport us to the small town of Matura. Our home for the next two nights will be Miss Suzan’s Guesthouse, a comfortable spot with great service.

After breakfast, we will board our bus to head to Grande Riviere, stopping for lunch and a visit to an historic lighthouse. This evening, we will meet members of the Grande Riviere Nature Tour Guide Association who protect the world’s most densely populated leatherback nesting beach. We will be staying at the Mt. Plaisir Hotel right on the beach.

Day 4 – Grande Riviere

Early birds can go onto the beach at sunrise to photograph leatherback turtles still on the beach, something very few places can offer. Later in the season, people will also be able to see hatchlings as they make their way to the ocean. Today, there will be a variety of optional activities to choose from in the area. Tonight is another optional night on the beach.
