Boat
ride to the nearby Selingan Island where the most important turtle
breeding Marine Park is found in all of South East Asia. It is
a rare experience to watch the huge green turtles lumber ashore
every night, dig a hole with their flippers and lay around 100
eggs. The rangers will transfer these eggs to a hatchery for incubation
for 50-60 days before hatchlings breakout of their shells and
scramble up through the sand and make their way to the sea. Only
3% are likely to survive due to disease and depredation. If females
do survive, they will return in 20 years or so to the very beach
where they themselves were hatched to repeat the cycle. You will
stay overnight at Selingan Island Chalet. Your breakfast, lunch
and dinner are included. |
