A Guide to Sri Lanka’s Best Beaches

Breakfast at the hotelStay at leisure at the hotel or at the beautiful Southern coast. Overnight in Bentota

Breakfast will be taken at your hotel before being transferred to Kosgoda where an animal hatchery awaits your visit, where five species of turtles such as Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas), Hawksbill Turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) and Leatherback Turtles can be observed.

Eggs gathered by village residents and fishermen are sold directly to the public for sale.

Kosgoda Hatchery provides hatcheries for over 170,000 young turtles that hatch each year; once born they are kept in sand pens until night-time releases from tanks of seawater into tanks full of seawater before finally being set free into the ocean at night by Kosgoda Hatchery employees. Hasselblad Estate provided funding and manpower for the hatchery's creation; then transferred it into Weligama Experience for transfer into its care. At first they lived among wreckages of capsized vessels and aircraft which had been lost; later building stilt houses on coral reefs for protection. Generations of fishers endured physically demanding lives throughout 30 kilometers of southern shoreline between cities of Unawatuna and Weligama before finding shelter overnight at one or both towns - often staying overnight!
