Turtle Conservation And Education Center

Great work the people do here. The turtles are in clean water and get medication. They gave a free tour with lots of interesting information. After visiting you can make a donation.

It is not standard attraction for tourism. You must understand that they save wounded turtles and nursing them. You're lucky if you get to the moment when you can release a small turtle into the ocean (usually in the summer months). Admission is free, but you will be asked to leave a donation as much as you want and write your review in a book how they can improve the centre.

When we anchored in Serangan, there's a baby turtle on the ladder of the boat. We decided to bring it here. We brought it and gave it to the volunteer to do something with it. We got many insights about the turtles. You can see the eggs hatches, adopt the turtles, release the turtle, and many more. You also can ask questions to the volunteers who always there to answer your questions. They are really patient and passionate. God job for the volunteers.

It is a good place for education. You can also join baby sea turtle release during hatching season. There is no entrance fee. I am so sad to see this sea turtle have to live in a small tank where he keeps growing bigger every day. You can also donate for the conservation development.

Some said admission is free, but we were charged 10k per adult and 5k per child (even when our children were only 2 and 4 year olds). Some people are charged 200k for adoption, some 150k. I smell corruption.
