Gili Meno Turtle Sanctuary, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

4.0 (248 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #6 in West Nusa Tenggara Nature & Wildlife Areas

Baby Turtles

Not a tourist attraction in itself as such but well worth the visit. You can learn all about the turtles and you could tell that the man running the place was passionate about helping the turtles. Allow yourself a little time and make sure you leave a generous donation as the sanctuary is not funded and relies on your support to continue its work.

    One man trying hard to conserve baby turtles...
    This is not your normal, funded conservation place. It's literally four pools with baby turtles and a board with some information. The turtles are super cute and the guy is just trying to give them a shot at life, as when they are very tiny they are prone to predators. Do pop along and give a donation. However, side note, I'm a solo female traveller and the guy was a little pervy, kept looking at my breasts, asked way too many personal questions and asked me out for a drink. Doesn't mean what he's doing with the turtles isn't a good thing, of course, just ladies be wary!

    Cute little turtle hatchery
    We walked past the turtle hatchery several times before even realising what it was. When we saw it it was completely unmanned, just with a couple of signs saying 'do not touch'. It's quite cute, four little pools each with a collection of baby turtles that are separated into sizes. It's no daytrip, but 10 minutes out of your day that will make you smile. Oh and please don't touch them. It will likely kill them.
