Important notes
-
Turtles keep their own schedule
Turtles are wild animals. Most nights in season a turtle comes ashore, but no one can promise the time or that it happens every night. -
Light
No flash and no white light on the turtles. Use a red light only when the rangers allow it. -
What to wear
Wear your swimsuit for the afternoon snorkel. Bring a towel, dry clothes and a light jacket for the evening. -
Sunscreen
Use reef-safe sunscreen (no oxybenzone). Bring insect repellent too. -
Phone signal
Signal on the island is weak and power may run only at set hours. Charge your phone and tell your family in advance.

-
Respect for nature
We guide guests to keep their distance from turtles and wildlife, use no flash and never touch the coral.
-
Flexible with the weather
When the port authority stops boats because of bad weather, we move your date or refund you clearly.
Questions about Turtle Nesting on Hòn Bảy Cạnh – 2 Days 1 Night
Can I join if I cannot swim?
Yes. You always wear a life jacket when snorkeling, and the guide swims with you. You can also stay on the boat or on the beach.
How far ahead should I book?
Overnight places on the island are limited each night, so book 2–4 weeks ahead, especially in summer.
What if no turtle comes that night?
You still stay on the island, snorkel and hear the rangers talk about turtles. There is no refund for a night without turtles, because nature cannot be scheduled.
What happens if the sea is rough?
When the port authority stops boats from sailing, we move your date or refund you under our weather cancellation policy.
