Description
Visit the Tanjung Benoa Turtle Conservation Center on a glass-bottom boat tour. Learn about the local wildlife and have the option to release a baby turtle back into the ocean.
Visit the Tanjung Benoa Turtle Conservation independently managed by the local community. Depart from the Tanjung Benoa beach by boat and on the way to Turtle Island, stop at a coral area to see fish and coral from a glass-bottom boat.
After arriving at the Turtle Conservation area, not only see turtles, but also have the chance to see other tropical animals such as bats, iguanas, parrots, and other birds. Learn about the importance of preserving these endangered creatures, and have the option to release a baby turtle back into the ocean for an additional cost.
The center has four fundamental aspects, including putting a definitive end to the turtle trade, by encouraging the public not to consume turtle products (religious use or otherwise) and to support turtle conservation in general.
The center also provides turtles for rituals without their killing and monitors turtle size and number, so that their use can be strictly controlled and regulated. It offers employment opportunities for locals from Serangan and acts as a watchdog for turtle trade in Serangan in particular and Bali in general.
The center also directly helps to protect turtles by hosting injured animals, collecting nests from tourist beaches, and buying eggs from locals to prevent them from being consumed. The eggs are bred at the center and the hatchlings are raised for about one month and then released into freedom. Out of the seven sea turtle species, three are kept and raised at the center.
Select a baby turtle to release and receive a certificate to commemorate this meaningful experience. Enhance your visit with various watersport add-on activities.
