Go, Turtles, Go: Cheering on Sea Turtles at Release Party

Along the beaches of Cabo, Mexico, new life is hatching. With serendipitous timing, you can get a front row seat to watch it.

Our fortuitously timed trip to Cabo in December allowed us to witness two sea turtle releases, which are not-to-miss, heart-warming experiences.

Instead, we got an unexpected wake-up call around 4 that morning telling us our luck had changed. Get dressed and ready to head to the Taj, we were instructed.
