Turtle Island, Off Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua

We decided to take a boat to visit the turtle conservation and development center which is located 15 mins from Tanjung Benoa.

We sat on a boat with glass bottom so we could see the underworld activities as we pass by. When reached the center , we were told that it is compulsory to donate Rp5,000 in order to visit and view the turtles. There were turtles of all ages... from few weeks to years old....It was just like seeing the growth of a turtle from hatchlings to adulthood but real-life.

There were many other animals which visitors can take photo with namely bat, snake, hornbill and ant-eater.
