Description
Don't miss out on this amazing adventure. Help sea turtles survive.
Find yourself on a lovely beach on the tropical island of Sri Lanka. Here your adventure starts. Help finding turtle eggs on the beach and market. Bury these in the special hatching grounds and wait....
When the baby turtles hatch it is time for their bath. They will stay in special tanks where you will hand feed them for a couple of days until they are strong enough to be released into the big blue ocean.
Your involvement is vital to their survival. Don't let these lovely animals die out and book your responsible volunteer holiday today!
