Unforgettable Experience Releasing Baby Turtles Releasing baby turtles here was such a fun and heartwarming experience! It’s completely free, but you can donate to support the amazing conservation efforts — definitely a good cause. Watching the tiny turtles make their way to the ocean was something truly special. It’s a great activity for all ages and only takes a short time, but leaves you with unforgettable memories. A must-do if you’re in the area!

Great turtle release experience which is completely free. You can donate but there is zero pressure at all to do so. The host is funny and makes the wait seem less long. He clearly explained release protocols and stated MANY times that no one is to touch the sea turtles and that their safety is the most important part of the activity. People stayed behind a line after release with a volunteer monitoring and only allowing people to move forward when all turtles were out of the way. I did a release today with 700+ sea turtles and all babies were well taken care of and made it safely to the water.

I had the same experience in Zambales, Philippines. It was an interesting and memorable time for the kids. It makes me think that our generation should protect nature. But there were too many people. It took a lot of time due to the waiting time and narrow space. It was boring with the same comments and actions of the hosts, but it must have been a memorable time for the child. I hope the space will expand.

Great initiative by the locals to save the Turtles. You get to release baby turtles on Kuta Beach. Great for kids and adults alike. Can get very busy, so plan ahead . Release times are listed on the day on their social media pages. Must do if in kuta and you have kids.... Please donate generously because it's a non profit based organisation.

Great experience for everyone! Free activities, but donations are welcome. Better arrive 1 hour before event starts.

We had an amazing experience at the Turtle Conservation and Education Centre, joining their turtle release on 14th July at 4:30pm at Kuta Beach. It was such a heartwarming and memorable moment watching the baby turtles make their way to the ocean – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. What made it even more special is that the centre runs purely on donations. There’s no pressure to pay anything, but it’s well worth supporting their cause. The team was friendly, passionate, and committed to protecting these beautiful creatures. You can tell they genuinely care. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Bali – it’s a wholesome activity for all ages, and a meaningful way to connect with nature. Just a heads-up: allow extra time for traffic in the Kuta area, especially in the afternoon.

Amazing experience! Free to participate releasing the baby 🐢s upon collecting a ticket but donations are welcome... its nice to be nice.

A highlight of our holiday, being able to release the baby turtles onto the beach. Advise getting there around 45 mins - 1 hour earlier as it gets extremely busy and if not enough turtles you will miss out. An amazing day. 🐢
