SLDT/1910/Ex

Why should you book this trip?

  • Witness the marvel of ocean life coming ashore, as sea turtles begin to nest in the Rekawa coastline. Turtle watching at Rekawa lets you observe them responsibly, but closely enough to see them dig their nest, lay their eggs, and return to the ocean.
  • This is the only ethical and sustainable turtle watching programme in Sri Lanka where turtles can be observed in their natural habitat, completely undisturbed.
  • We strongly oppose Commercial Turtle Hatcheries as they would do more harm than good for turtle conservation.
  • Nothing compares to the excitement and front row seat experience of watching turtles make a sandy nest and lay eggs under the stars.
  • We work with the Turtle Conservation Project (TCP), a community which aims to safeguard the turtles’ nesting sites and make sure that the eggs hatch safely.
  • Five out of seven of the world’s sea turtle species are found at the Rekawa, Tangalle seashore.
  • This experience has been named as one of the top 5 things to do in Tangalle. 
  • Logistically situated on your way to the famous Yala National Park, or to the Deep South.
