Working with Turtles

Working with turtles is a fascinating, rewarding, and memorable experience, and we offer a number of such opportunities here at The Great Projects. They are located in places like Sri Lanka and Costa Rica, so the settings are simply stunning and ideal bucket-list destinations. You get to meet a range of interesting people who all share the same care for the environment and understand the need for conservation, as well as, of course, you get the opportunity to see the sea turtles up close and even care for them! They are amazing creatures, with some even growing to three metres in length!

The trips are enjoyable, once in a lifetime experiences, but they are also crucial in the preservation of the turtle species. The projects we offer cannot survive without volunteers, and it seems as though without the projects, the future for many species of sea turtle is uncertain, so if you want to help change this, working with turtles is definitely for you.  On the projects, you could be doing anything from monitoring reefs to working in the hatchery to implementing awareness programmes with the local community. All you have to decide is where you want to go!
