Located in Habaraduwa, this Sea Turtle Hatchery & Conservation Center is dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles such as Green, Hawksbill and Olive Ridley species. Visitors can witness conservation efforts, learn about the turtle life cycle and participate in hatchling releases. The centre also rehabilitates injured turtles, offering them a safe recovery before returning them to the ocean.
The best time to visit Habaraduwa Turtle Hatchery is during the morning or late afternoon, when the weather is cooler and calmer, and hatchling releases (if in season) are most visible.
