Visiting a turtle farm gives you a close-up look at Sri Lanka’s sea turtle conservation efforts. Here, rescued turtles are cared for, injured ones are rehabilitated, and hatchlings are protected before being released into the ocean.
You’ll learn about the five species of sea turtles found in Sri Lanka, their life cycles, and the threats they face from pollution and poaching. Many farms allow visitors to help release baby turtles into the sea — a truly heartwarming experience.
These farms are best visited in the evening or early morning, depending on hatching schedules. Your visit supports local conservation work and helps protect these gentle creatures for future generations.
