Turtle Season & Best Time To Come

Most resorts are closed from November to February due to the north-easterly monsoon season. During this time, the sea is rough and there are not much sea activities that you can do. Even the fishermen rest during this time of the year.

The turtle nesting season starts from March to August and the eggs will hatch from May to Sept every year. Hence, the best time to come for turtle nesting is from May to July and turtle hatching from July to Sept. As these months are "peak" months, it is always good to book in advance to avoid disappointment.

This package starts on any Friday or Saturday between April 29th, 2011 and August 8th, 2011.
