Turtles in a Torrential Downpour
James_W
, Oct. 2021
We were picked up in Terramindo. The car was a small echo Toyota. This car has 2 wheel drive which was not appropriate for the long journey on the unpaved and rutted road. In addition, the driver did not speak English, and with our limited Spanglish, we had difficulty communicating. This was evident when we had a terrifying experience stuck on a one lane bridge amidst a torrential downpour and a rising river. Thankfully, the driver had cell phone service, and we told him to call the operator of this tour in Playa Ostinal. The tour guide towed our car thru the river, and provided us shelter for the night. We are thankful to make it out of this tour alive and on terra firma. We did see the turtles early in the morning before departing. Definitely ask for a 4-wheel drive car.
Response from Host , Nov. 2021
Sorry to hear that you didn’t like the experience. But I’m happy to hear that you saw the turtles. Since you booked the turtle tour during the rainy season it can happen that it starts raining very heavily and the roads fill up with water. Not even a 4-wheel drive car can pass those rivers. The weather and the rain is not in my control.
Not in Ostional (this time) but on Playa Minas

Unfortunately Ostional was closed due to Corona. I was offered a full refund or a discount to make the tour to another beach. I chose the latter.
The tour starts a bit later as Playa Minas is a lot closer than Ostional.
I went at a bad time as the full moon had been two days earlier. Wasn't able to see any full grown turtles but was lucky enough to see 9 hatchlings and got to experience their release into the ocean.
The beach itself is a 10 minute walk from the car park, you can do it in sandals but easier in sneakers. You should avoid using white clothes and obviously no flash on the beach.
My tour guide was very nice, spoke good english and made sure I had everything ok!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
