Turtle Tour Dates are Now Posted at Disney

Have you ever been to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort? Other than the fact that it is an absolutely beautiful resort to vacation at; did you know that a group of scientists from Disney’s Animal Kingdom work there with Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection? This is because Vero Beach has been a site where thousands of female sea turtles have emerged from the sea since the time of the dinosaurs to lay their eggs at this location.

Not only do the Disney scientists work with Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection to protect this fascinating phenomenon; but the Disney Scientists will take guests on night walks so guests can safely observe the loggerheads, greens and leatherbacks emerge from the sea at night and build their nests in the sand.

Disney has contributed $1.26 million dollars to sea turtle conservation through their Worldwide Conservation Funds.

CaribbeanDays is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner and would love to set up this experience for our guests!
