Very simple turtle hatchery and nursery/hospital....the owner lost most of his family and the sanctuary in 2004 tsunami, the community helped him rebuild it and he cares a great deal about the turtles...the cost is 500rupee to enter and donations are greatly appreciated....i gladly donated...he pays for the eggs to be brought to him to be looked after and at 2 months most are released..he also teaches wounded turtles how to swim and cares for older ones.....well worth 2 hours of time....

Owner is very friendly, not much turtle but he explains well

Great that some turtles are rescued and keep in here... turtle hatchery is one of the best things you can see and the person is very welcoming he told all the information and details about each and every turtles and if you like to see the rarest colour turtle then visit this place....

This place is very small but clean and clear descriptions. I like the fact they care for injured turtles but the tanks are very small. I don't like the fact they charge extra for foreigners as like other places. They don't realise it creates a negative image against them. They can ask for donations for their shortfall, I am sure people happy to give if they can afford.

They are doing a great job. Explains well.

Perfect place go watch turtles and also get to know about their turtle hatching program.

Nice place. Kids enjoyed looking at the new born turtles.

many things to see and to lern. the place must see

It's really amazing and you can see small baby turtles and huge ones and you can even hold them and touch them

Turtle farm, they help injured turtles and take care of eggs and left little turtles go wild. Very kind boss, explain about turtles. You can catch them. It's worthy. :) You can go by bus from hikkaduwa. Stop at the big buddha statue.
