Release a week old turtle in the wild. Important center that help the only 7 specimens of the world sea turtles alive. You learn about the challenges the turtles meet and see an area with eggs in sand and lots of very sweet youngsters ready for a life in the oceans. For 250.000 you can adopt tour own turtle, go in rescue car and boat and actually set the turtle free. Cool, although the boat man stopped in the middle of a busy boat traffic area - and that did not really increase the option of my turtle (called Kjell-Pett-Erik).

What an interesting and wonderful place to visit. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, informative and passionate about the sea turtles. The work being done here is wonderful. A reminder to arrange transport here and back. Taxis may be hard to come by.

Amazing place!! I didn't know Indonesia has so many species of turtles. Ocha and Rija told me everything about them and where very nice answering all the questions. Tour guidance in english. Best part, when I fed the turtles ☺️💪 Thank you very much!

Such an amazing sanctuary. You can tell the turtles are so well cared for and relaxed. All turtles of different species and sizes. There is no entry fee but definitely make sure to donate! So happy there are places like this that actually nurture these creatures. They are rescued from pollution , fishing nets and the black market and brought here for rehabilitation. We spent about an hour here and just loved it. Thankyou🩷🩷

The children were so happy to see so many different turtles and other animals. The guide was very good with her explanations. She was a bit pushy asking for a tip which we would have given anyway. The girls were excited to adopt two baby turtles and release them into the sea.

Wasn't too sure what to expect, but it was well worth a visit. Free entry and a guide assigned to you on arrival. He explained many turtles are rescues, either from fishing net or propeller damage. There are turtles also confiscated from black market activity. There is a hatching area and you can adopt a week old baby turtle and release it back into the sea at a cost of $25. You are transferred by car to the port and taken on a short boat ride out to sea to release the turtle. A must for families or anyone wanting to help the environment. All proceeds go back into saving the turtles.

We went to turtle conservation and education centre. Had a short tutorial from a couple of the team working there. Well versed on the subject matter. The turtles were all ages and rescue situations. It cost $25 donation per turtle released and it was worth every penny. Made you want to cry with joy. Boat ride out to a safe release area. You can even buy souvenirs but for the great work they are doing it’s worth it.

What an amazing place. The guides are passionate about saving turtles and keeping their rehab living conditions the best they can be before returning them to their natural habitat when the vet says it’s time! We adopted 3day old turtles and took the boat ride and released them into the sea. The cost of adoptions and donations keep the place running so I’d encourage anyone visiting to donate generously and experience the feel good factor of increasing the wild sea turtle population :-) loved it and it is an experience my 7 and 9 year olds will be talking about for years to come 💕Thank you SO MUCH trip advisor for the reviews that made us cancel “Turtle Island” and to come here :-) thank you to the conservation team for being so knowledgable and engaging :-)

We really enjoyed this place, our guide was a French student volunteer who was easy to understand and gave my teenage daughter and I good background on turtle species and the work of this centre. It’s a tourist attraction but not a swanky shiny one, it feels like it’s not ripping you off because it’s free to enter, you just pay if you want to release a baby turtle (we did - 250k rph) for this you get taken on a minibus, 5 min ride and then a 30 minute round trip boat ride in harbour so not choppy. If tourists don’t come the baby turtles just get realised anyway after ten days. The tanks weren’t huge but it’s a not a huge space and most of the bigger turtles are poorly hence being there. It felt like a honest operation, with people who really care.

We took the children for a quick visit and just made a release. Well organised, if you want to pay to release it’s a very quick bus (5 mins) and a quick boat journey to release your adopted turtles. We loved it and the centre was very helpful, it’s not a theme park and seems to be a legitimate conservation project. Note, make sure you arrive no later than 2pm if you want to release.
