Sea Turtles Conservation Program

Assist with research and enjoy close encounters with the sea turtles during their peak nesting season. Join us in the southern Red Sea to see and study the amazing sea turtles at one of the world’s most important nesting sites. The area hosts one of the world’s densest green sea turtles nesting colony, and we have timed our expedition to coincide with the peak of their nesting season.
