Conservation journey · sea turtles
Watamu’s beaches are nesting grounds for green and hawksbill turtles. Spend time with the team that rescues and treats injured turtles, help guard nests and, when one hatches, watch the young run for the sea.
The signature moment: Carrying a recovered turtle to the water’s edge and watching it swim away.
