Hundreds of turtles come back to the site where they were born to lay their eggs. Many of them come to Mon Repos where rangers take you onto the beach to enjoy two experiences. The mothers come three times each season and lay up to 150 eggs each time. These tours are available from November to January each year. You will see nearly all the eggs falling into a pit that the mother has dug, and you may be asked to help carry the eggs further up the beach if they are laid below the high tide water line. Then, from January to March each year, the youngsters push up through the sand and struggle down to the water to commence the plan for their life. There is a possibility that you may be able to hold them, but only for a few moments. In any event, you will see them arise from the sand, and follow their journey down to the water.
