A marine sanctuary dedicated to sea turtle conservation, research, and environmental education in Brazil.
Project Tamar in Ubatuba usually opens from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but I recommend checking the updated hours on its official website before your visit, as they may vary by season. You can get there easily by car or public transportation.
The adult admission price is usually around R$ 28.00, with discounts available for children, students, and seniors upon presentation of the appropriate ID. I recommend checking the rates section on its official website for the most recent and detailed information.
For a complete experience and to enjoy all the exhibits, tanks, and educational activities, I suggest setting aside between 1.5 and 2 hours for your visit. If there is a scheduled talk or turtle feeding, the visit may take a little longer.
Project Tamar is a key initiative for sea turtle conservation in Brazil and has been working for more than 40 years. Its mission is to protect threatened species, educate the public about the importance of marine conservation, and monitor turtle populations along the Brazilian coast, carrying out invaluable work.
The quieter season with fewer visitors is usually from March to June or from August to November, outside Brazilian school holidays. If you want to avoid crowds, I recommend going first thing in the morning just after opening, or later in the afternoon.
Yes, Project Tamar in Ubatuba strives to be an inclusive space. Most of its facilities and paths are accessible for wheelchair users, including ramps and adapted restrooms. If you have any specific needs, you can contact them directly by phone at +55 12 3832-6202 to confirm the details.
Ubatuba offers many options. Near Project Tamar, you can enjoy Tenório Beach, ideal for swimming, or Praia Grande, which has a livelier atmosphere. I also recommend the Ubatuba Aquarium or, if you enjoy nature, a walk through Ubatuba's historic center or a visit to the Fish Market.
Of course! I recommend arriving early to avoid crowds, especially in high season. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen and insect repellent, as well as a camera to capture the moments. Join the educational talks if any are scheduled—they are very interesting and enriching!
