Bali (Kuta), Bali Sea Turtle Society

the line to get a ticket for a baby sea turtle


Location: right on Kuta Beach, google map
Pros: an unique experience
Cons: very crowded

If you plan on doing this, first check their Facebook page to see if they have any upcoming releases. You'll to wait in line to get a ticket to get a baby sea turtle. And they seemed to have a lot of them, so don't worry if the line seems long. 

I do have a mixed feeling about this though - on one hand it's really neat to have this experience and play a part in sea turtle conservation, but on the other hand it is kind of crazy to watch/be part of a huge group of tourists squeezing their way to the release line at the beach to release their sea turtles. On top of it, you have all these people trying to take pictures..and kids who want to get extremely close up to the sea turtles...and I was so afraid that they would accidentally step on one. The whole experience is not as chaotic as it possibly can get, but it is certainly not very peaceful.
