Sri Lanka’s southern coastline is home to five of the world’s seven sea turtle species, which return season after season to nest on the same beaches where they were born – making the island one of the most important sea turtle habitats in the Indian Ocean region. Our turtle conservation experiences take you to certified hatcheries and protected nesting beaches, where knowledgeable conservationists explain the threats facing these ancient marine reptiles and the efforts being made to protect them. At Rekawa Beach near Tangalle – one of Sri Lanka’s most important nesting sites – guests can observe wild female turtles nesting on the beach at night under the supervision of trained monitors. These experiences offer a rare and genuinely moving encounter with wildlife conservation in action, combining education, awareness and the unforgettable privilege of witnessing a sea turtle under a star-filled sky.
