Had an amazing experience volunteering in the shelter at Blue Wave the shelter Sanctuary. The team were very welcoming, Jana does an amazing job running the place. Wasana was an amazing representative who assisted with daily communications. I really enjoyed working up close with the turtles and seeing how the sanctuary takes care of them before releasing them to the wild.

It was truly an amazing experience. The working hours are ideal for you to get some work done and help, but also to get to see the beauty of the shelter. Working with the shelter was an interesting experience and helps you understand the current problems of turtles in the sea and how they are endangered.

It has been such a cool and unique experience working with turtles! In addition, you could contribute to saving the environment! Working hours were quite flexible and we still had enough time to travel around Sri Lanka!
Everyone has been sooo friendly and welcoming, especially our Hostfamily! They provided clean rooms, nice views from the terrace and served the best sri-lankan food ever! Damith and Wasana were always looking after us/me!
Although the fee is a little high, Iβd still recommend it!

I had a really special experience at the turtle conservation project. I loved being able to help care for the turtles and learn more about their rehabilitation and conservation. The people at the project were very kind and welcoming, and Iβm really grateful for everything I got to experience during my time there. Definitely an experience Iβll remember! π’π

My host family was absolutely incredible, and the accommodation is surrounded by beautiful nature. The work is quite varied, and even though there was no hatching season during my stay, I still found the hatchery maintenance interesting and enjoyable.
I wasn't there during peak season, so there were no other volunteers in my specific program, but there were always volunteers from other programs around. As a solo traveller, I never felt alone, and everyone was very welcoming and helpful.
You also have more than enough free time to explore the area and travel around the shelter:)
