★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I cannot expressed how much we enjoyed this place, it was raining, and we have so much fun with the kids that we didn't care! It's a beautiful project, with a real cause that makes you feel like that they are really making a difference in this world. My kids, a toddler and a 6 year old boy were amazed as we. A must for travelers, a must for kids and the human kind.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best part of it is that you're helping the project by just going there. There you can see turtles ( of course), sharks and other sea animals. The visit is quite short, and there isn't a big amount of things to see. You can buy the entrance ticket there for R$ 26,00. If you are student, there is a discount of 50%.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not what we expected. The foundation markets itself as a sanctuary for the protection and preservation of the turtles, but is really more like a zoo. We hoped for a research-lead project, helping injured turtles and teaching about their breading and migration patterns etc. But the commercial focus is clear. It feels very exploitative. We videoed some of the turtles that are kept in the pools contained within the organisation's confines. They clearly want to leave.
Not surprising given that these turtles swim thousands of miles across continents in their natural habitats, but here are confined in a small pool. We asked why they kept the turtles here in this way when they weren't injured or anything. Their response wasn’t persuasive - apparently they’re there for research projects to understand more about their "natural feeding and procreation habits". But how can they understand that if they’re kept in an unnatural environment? When asked if they'd ever be released, they answered "maybe one day"... Not encouraging for an animal that can live upwards of 100 years.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice tour and guide was very informative and educational. Infrastructure was all in good shape and tidy. My godchild went for a educational tour and simply adored it as she had so many activities lined up.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love the place. The landscape and the turtles are amazing. You can clearly see that they love them and care about them. If you want to eat somenthing inside there, you have an open restaurant facing the ocean with a breathtaking view. You will not regret the experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must see place. I love the location (right on the beach). We were able to start early in the morning take a break for lunch in side the Tamar project there is small food area. There is so much to learn in this on place. You are able to see the actual size of each turtle and compare to your own height. So many pools of turtles. One thing we didnt know is that you are contact them in advance and spend the day as a biologist. a good place for kids of all ages. I really enjoy this place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Tamar Project does such fantastic work in protecting the marine turtles, that you absolutely have to love and support this place. The place itself is not very big, and you can walk through the whole area in 30 minutes or so. But you do get to learn a lot, and seeing the turtles is an amazing experience. It's also located in a beautiful area by some of the most beautiful beaches. After going here, you definitely have to go to the beaches and enjoy the natural wonders. If you're lucky, you can even see the turtles in the wild.
