Witness the Magic of Baby Turtle Releasing in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, known for its pristine beaches and diverse wildlife, offers a truly heartwarming experience: the baby turtle releasing ritual. For nature lovers and conscious travelers, this magical moment is more than a photo opportunity—it’s a chance to witness the miracle of life and support vital marine conservation.

A Rare and Precious Sight

Along Sri Lanka’s southern coast, especially in areas like Kosgoda and Rekawa, several turtle hatcheries work tirelessly to protect endangered sea turtles. These sanctuaries collect vulnerable eggs, protect them from predators, and release hatchlings into the ocean—often at sunset, when it’s safest.

Watching tiny turtles waddle toward the waves under a golden sky is unforgettable. It’s emotional, educational, and humbling—a gentle reminder of the fragility and beauty of nature.

Why It Matters

All five species of sea turtles found in Sri Lanka are either endangered or critically endangered. Your visit helps fund conservation efforts, supports local communities, and raises awareness about the importance of protecting marine ecosystems.
