Visit to the Turtle Hatchery

Located along the southern coast of the island, this sanctuary is dedicated to protect and preserve endangered sea turtles. It plays a vital role in ensuring the survival of 5 turtle species; Olive Ridley Turtle, Leatherback Turtle, Loggerhead Turtle, Hawksbill Turtle, and Green Turtle. The state-of-the-art facilities at the Turtle Hatchery and Rescue Centre ensures that the newborn turtles are taken care of, with the injured turtles until they are able to go back to the sea. They protect the turtle nesting sites while collecting eggs that can be susceptible to various threats, and take necessary measures to transfer them to safety.
