This place is amazing. They take such good care of turtles. It is like a special hospital for turtles together with being a farm to hatch new babies and release to the ocean. We went in a group. Some of us were foreign passport holders, so we had to pay foreign dollar rate. But, that collection goes towards looking after the farm and hatchery. I did not mind contributing to such a good cause. We had a guide who explained in English which was very good for us. Make sure you ask for one. It is worth the insight into turtle life and the wide varieties of them and their habitats and live style. Do drop when you are passing by, or yet, make a special effort to go to this hatchery.

Visiting this sea turtle conservation centre and hatchery at Koggala, was both insightful, inspiring and tragically sad all at once. 🐢 When you learn of the impact humans have on turtles and their environment it breaks your heart 💔. But the work these guys do here to rehabilitate injured turtles and prepare them for release back to the ocean is out of this world - did you even know that prosthetic limbs can be made for turtles?! Our guide's knowledge on each turtle, what their injury was and what was being done to treat them was amazing. He was able to answer any questions and just made this short tour really informative and enjoyable. Definitely recommend

This is a nice Turtle farm and hatchery. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained the different species of turtles pretty well. These guys are doing really well in terms of restoration of turtles whose limbs have been damaged in the ocean. The beach behind the hatchery is very beautiful. The entry fee of LKR1500 is also very reasonable. A must see option for anyone visiting Galle or Mirissa.

Located just a short distance from our hotel in Koggala beach this place is a must visit if you are in the area. The entrance fee is very small and each group of visitors is assigned a guide to take you through what the sanctuary does to help the various types of turtles that are found off the coast around Sri Lanka. There are various pools with injured turtles, baby turtles of various sizes and a hatchery. The whole visit takes about 90 minutes and our large party all left enthralled by what they had seen and heard.

A great space which emphasises education and reminds us to take care of nature by not polluting and being mindful. This space takes in injured turtles and operates and cares for them, before letting them go back into the sea. Unfortunately there's people who eat turtle eggs, so part of their project includes buying eggs from people who find them, as long as they're maintained well, to encourage people who find eggs to give them to the project rather than eat them. A very important space, definitely recommend going and paying the entrance fee, of 1500LKR per person. It's for a good cause
