In here, the eggs of the beach are taken, then stored in buckets which are buried to 50 cm in the sand as a semi-natural hatchery. In 40-60 days, the eggs hatch and 2 days small baby turtles will begin showing on the sand at the surface.
Half of baby turtles will then be removed in large buckets depending on their age, while the other half goes directly into their natural habitat. If you come to visit, you can join to release the baby turtle to the ocean. Since the beach are very amazing, try snorkling here.

Hi There,
Wow this Island looks awesome. Kudos to the government for their conversation efforts. The only island I have visited in Indonesia is Bali which as you probably know is over touristed. This place looks awesome and doesn’t seem to have too many people going there.
Thanks for the tip.
