Day 3: Benoa – Turtle Island

Early morning the ship leaves Gili Islands for Benoa harbor in Bali. Before we reach the mouth of Benoa, near Sanur (Bali) we will see Pulau Serangan – also known as Turtle Island. At low tide we will take you to this island for Turtle Conservation tour. Previously, turtles are captured and fattened up here in pens before being sold for village feasts. However, turtles are now being protected on the west coast of Bali due to dwindling numbers and tourists are advised to refrain from eating any turtle meat or buying products made from turtles.
