Join the Bali Sea Turtle Conservation Effort with hands-on experience.
Please Note this experience is available May - early October.Learn about sea turtles and help their conservation at a turtle center in Bali. This program aims to increase the chances of survival for this ancient species.Bali's coastline is a nesting habitat for sea turtles. From April to October, female turtles return to the same location where they hatched decades ago to lay their eggs. The most common species found nesting in Bali are the olive ridley and green turtles, with occasional sightings of hawksbill turtles. However, sea turtles face threats from feral animals, human predation on eggs, fishing accidents, beach development, and misleading artificial lights.The sea turtle conservation community in Bali actively engages in egg rescue, beach cleaning, providing hatching facilities, and caring for injured turtles. These efforts aim to preserve the existence of these ancient marine reptiles. Most turtle centers in Bali operate on donations and volunteer support.By participating in our Bali Sea Turtle Experience, you can support local conservation efforts and gain hands-on experience working with sea turtles.What to ExpectArrive at the conservation facility and receive an introductionAttend a presentation on sea turtles and the threats they faceEngage in volunteer work such as beach cleaning, tank scrubbing, or egg incubationParticipate in a baby turtle release (during the nesting season only)Receive a certificate of volunteer supportNoteThe nesting season in Bali starts around March through September each year and they choose to lay eggs at night after 11.00pm until dawn.
