Turtle Watching in Sri Lanka

Turtle Watching in Sri Lanka

Overview

Turtle watching gives visitors the chance to see sea turtles nesting or hatching along Sri Lanka’s southern and western beaches.

Every year, sea turtles come to beaches like Rekawa, Kosgoda, and Bentota to lay their eggs. Guided night tours allow visitors to watch this amazing natural event without disturbing the turtles. Many places also have turtle hatcheries where baby turtles are protected and later released into the sea. These conservation centers also teach visitors about how turtles are cared for and the importance of protecting them. Turtle watching is a peaceful, moving, and family-friendly activity.
