What if your Bali holiday could help protect marine life?
In Bali, tourists can take part in releasing baby sea turtles — locally known as tukik — back into the ocean. It’s more than just a photo moment. It’s a real conservation experience.
What Is the Turtle Release Program?
Several beaches in Bali host turtle conservation and release programs, including:
- Serangan Beach
- Tanjung Benoa
- Kuta Beach
Local conservation groups protect turtle eggs, incubate them safely, and once the hatchlings are strong enough, they are released into the sea — often with visitors invited to participate.
Most releases happen in the morning or late afternoon for better survival rates.
