DO’S & DONT’S FOR BABY TURTLE RELEASE
To protect the hatchlings and ensure an ethical experience, our program follows strict conservation standards.
By simply observing and allowing nature to take the lead, you give these tiny turtles the best chance to thrive.
DO:
> Observe from a distance.
> Keep quiet to maintain a calm, natural environment.
> Let your baby turtle crawl across the sand, memorizing the beach where they will one day return to nest.
DON’T:
> TOUCH the baby turtles
> Use flash photography or bright lights.
> Enter the water during the release
Why No Touching?
Human scent and heat can confuse hatchlings and disrupt their natural orientation. Sunscreen and body oils may affect their ability to survive.
A Luxury Experience with Purpose
Every adoption directly supports our Turtle Haven conservation program and ensures Lombok’s beaches remain a sanctuary for future generations of sea turtles. This is not just an activity—it is a legacy experience, connecting you to the rhythm of nature in the most exclusive way.
Reserve your Adopt & Release Baby Turtle Experience today and become part of Lombok’s conservation story.
