Nestled along a stunning 500-meter stretch of Oman’s coastline, this seaside oasis invites guests to join their Turtle Ranger for an intimate, hands-on experience in caring for baby turtles.
A Hands-On Conservation Effort
Available daily, this experience allows participants to assist in protecting and nurturing baby turtles as they prepare for their journey into the sea.
