Sri Lanka’s southern and western coastlines are important nesting grounds for five species of sea turtle, including the endangered green and leatherback turtles that return to the beaches of their birth to lay their eggs under the cover of darkness. Our turtle conservation experiences connect you with responsible coastal hatcheries and beach patrol programmes where conservation teams work tirelessly to protect nests from poaching, monitor nesting females and safely incubate eggs until they hatch. Witnessing the release of tiny hatchlings into the ocean, a moment of pure, fragile life meeting the vastness of the sea, is one of the most touching experiences available in Sri Lanka. These experiences are conducted with strict adherence to conservation protocols, ensuring minimal disturbance to the turtles while providing participants with a meaningful, educational and moving encounter.
