I really love this place. Remind me how to keep the turtle exist. You can see the turtles and baby turtles there. Also you can adopt and release baby turtle to the beach near there. Enjoyyyyy!

When we arrived my husband was slightly disappointed because it was small.
However it’s far better than we thought!
The staff was super nice and spoke great English, explained turtles’s situation clearly.
The best thing is you can adopt baby turtle and free them in the sea.
The adoption price is 150K, and pay extra for boat trip, then you arrive in a small island for releasing the baby turtle.

It’s such a fun experience and meaningful, definitely will come back :)

Was very happy to visit this center. My husband was sceptical, he expected that they will demand donation. But a staff member just carelessly said - You can put it donation box. And besides that he told us about each turtle with passion. How it was rescued, how they take of them. Explained about hatches. And turtles look good. Thanks for such a nice experience.

This is definitely worth a visit if you're in Southern Bali. The center is located near the harbor of Serangan Island and relatively easy to find. When you arrive, the friendly staff shows you around the center and tells you a lot about sea turtles, about how they live, how they are endangered and what the center does to help them.

The worker who showed us around had great English and studies marine biology, so he really was an expert and could answer all questions we had. He also knew the background of each individual turtle in the center, e.g. how it was found, what sicknesses it has and what they are doing now to get them healthy again and back into the wild.

You can adopt a turtle (for a fixed donation) but unlike in other places, there is absolutely no pressure to do so. If you want to support their work, however, you can adopt a turtle (you can give it a name and you receive a certificate and a little turtle necklace). The adoption itself costs 150000 IDR and if you'd like to release it from a boat, they'd like 80000 IDR in addition for the boat ride. You get to pick one of the 3-day old turtles, scoop it out with a coconut bowl, and then every half hour or so, you drive with a bus to the harbor. You'll get on a small boat, are driven out to the sea where you can then release your turtle into the wild (and watch it swim away a few minutes). Then you're driven back to the center.

The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed visiting this center very much. Highly recommended if you like animals.

The staff were very polite and nice, and focused on sharing knowledge about the turtles. They allowed us to touch the newly hatched babies and release them into the bigger pool, which was beautiful.

Great and unique experience ! Very useful to understand the turtle and how we need to protect them. We also have adopted 2 turtles ????(and release in the sea after off course ! )

100% Guaranted by someone who searches each time for animal sanctuary or alike

We really enjoyed spending time at a place where volunteers truly care about trying to increase the population of endangered turtles.
You can view baby turtles that are due to be released back in to the sea once they are ready.
