This evening tour offers observation of sea turtles nesting at Braamspunt, a remote beach where the Suriname River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Three species are confirmed nesting on Braamspunt, leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), green (Chelonia mydas) and olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea). Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) are occasionally sighted but do not consistently nest at this site.

Tours operate from March to August during peak nesting season. Tour timing depends on tides and turtle activity, departures typically begin in late afternoon, returning to Paramaribo around midnight.
