If you are keen to witness some rare sea turtles and gain insight into their lives, life cycles, history, and the challenges leading to their rapidly decreasing population, then visiting the Turtle Conservation Project is an ideal activity for travelers exploring Down South and surrounding areas.
Turtle populations face threats at all stages of their lives, from both natural and human pressures, leading all species of sea turtles to be classified as endangered. Without conservation efforts, these beautiful ancient creatures could disappear from our oceans forever. The project works to prevent further population decline and protect turtles by supporting viable nesting and feeding populations. Visitors can observe various species, such as Green, Loggerhead, Hawksbill, Olive Ridley turtles, and the rare White Turtle, born one in a million.
Releasing baby turtles into the ocean is a remarkable experience, conducted only after 6:00 PM when the sky darkens, and the water becomes safer for their journey.
Key Points:
- The Turtle Conservation Project is open daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
- To release baby turtles, bookings should be made for 5:30 PM or later.
- Turtle Conservation Project visits are available throughout the year.
- The duration of the visit is typically 30–60 minutes.
