The Magic of the Hatchlings’ Journey

On Cousine Island, guests have the rare opportunity to witness the heartwarming journey of these hatchlings. As they break free from their sandy nests, their small, flippered bodies carry them toward the water, guided by the moonlight shimmering over the waves. Each step—tiny yet significant—represents not only the beginning of a life journey but the success of ongoing conservation efforts that make moments like these possible.
