🕒 Best Times for Turtle Encounters

• Early Morning (7 AM – 9 AM): Calmer waters and increased turtle activity.
• Late Afternoon (3 PM – 5 PM): Turtles often return to shallower waters, and crowds are thinner.

Avoid midday when the sun is at its peak, as turtles tend to rest and water visibility may decrease.
