Places to visit

  • Turtle Farm

    Turtle Farms in Sri Lanka, especially in places like Kosgoda and Koggala, play a vital role in the conservation of endangered sea turtles. These sanctuaries collect turtle eggs from vulnerable beach nests, hatch them in protected environments, and release the baby turtles safely into the ocean. Visitors can observe various turtle species, including green, hawksbill, and loggerhead turtles, and learn about the threats they face. Some farms even allow you to witness or take part in a hatchling release. It’s an educational and heartwarming experience that supports marine conservation.
