PROGRAMME : Turtle Watch & Camping.
DURATION : 1 Night / 2 Days.
PERIOD : Valid till 31-Oct-2006
Day - 01 - Rakawa (FB)

Arrival at the Rakawa camp for lunch.

The small fishing village of REKAWA is located about 10 km east of the south coast town of Tangalla. Eco Team works closely with the TCP (Turtle Conservation Project) in their ‘Turtle Watch’ programme on the Rekawa beach where visitors can observe the ancient ritual of turtles coming ashore and laying eggs. This pioneering conservation programme was started in 1996 to protect sea turtles in their natural habitat while providing an alternative source of income to people formerly dependent on the illegal collection of turtle eggs. Five out of the seven species of marine turtles that are familiar (but endangered) come to nest in this part of the Sri Lankan coastline, making it an ideal location to marvel at one of nature’s most fascinating processes!

Located very close to the Rekawa beach itself, the ECO TEAM TURTLE OBSERVATION CAMP is an ideal location to be based for Turtle Watching because the staff can do the waiting for you – waking you up when the turtles have arrived! Forget any ideas about cramped tents and sitting on the ground for meals – this is camping in style! The camp is set up prior to your arrival, transporting in comfortable tents, a fully equipped kitchen, chairs and tables, hammocks, flushable toilets, showers and even cold beer. In the evening you can enjoy a hearty barbecue meal in a magical setting – the whole area is lit up with traditional flame torches and a roaring campfire. So sit back, relax and let our experienced staff cater to your every need.
