Itinerary
Day 1
- Sandakan/Selingan Turtle Island:
- 8:30am Hotel or Airport pick-up to Sandakan Waterfront Jetty
- 9:30am The speedboat will depart to Selingan, which is also one of the important sea turtle spawning and hatching grounds in Southeast Asia (located in the Sulu Sea, 40 kilometers north of Sandakan). It takes about 1 hour to reach Selingan
- After checking in, you can relax on the beach or snorkel nearby to see the reef
- Free and easy
- After dinner, the ranger will inform the passengers of the best time to watch the turtles come ashore and prepare to lay their eggs.
- Passengers can follow the turtle eggs collected by the guards to the hatching area. It is a very warm experience to help the guards put the little turtles on the beach, and then watch them slowly crawl across the beach and head towards the sea. Since 1967, a marine ecological protection plan was established in Selingan, and now a large number of sea turtles will return to this coast to lay eggs, and all sea turtles can be seen landing and laying eggs almost every day.
