You can also visit the TCP while you are on holiday in Sri Lanka. For a small fee you can take part in their night-time Turtle Watch programmes at Kosgoda and Rekawa to enjoy the spectacle of nesting female turtles, see the TCP research and witness a nest of hatchlings emerge from the sand and run down to the sea.
