Volunteer with turtles
Join a community-driven volunteer project with KILROY and contribute to important turtle conservation in Asia or Latin America.
Help nurse injured turtles back to health to be released back into the wild. Assist with research and clean up local habitats. And help with the weekly release of newborn turtles into the ocean.
Whichever volunteer project you choose, you'll be helping preserve a species that has been providing benefits to marine ecosystems for millions of years.
Destinations where you can volunteer with turtles
Costa Rica
Volunteer on the Pacific Coast and choose from community-driven projects with a pure focus on turtle conservation. Or combine volunteering with the opportunity to learn Spanish and spend time learning to surf or practising yoga.
Indonesia
Join the turtle conservation project on the charming island of Nusa Penida and work alongside a local team to help protect the endangered sea turtles of Indonesia. It's just a 45-minute speedboat ride away from Bali.
Sri Lanka
Explore the pristine blue waters and white sands of Ambalangoda and take part in conserving sea turtles in Sri Lanka. You'll be volunteering at the largest breeding and conservation turtle project in the country.
Ecuador
Volunteer on the Pacific coast in Ecuador and join the only turtle conservation centre of its kind in the country. Injured turtles are brought here from all parts of Ecuador and it's quipped with everything needed for recovering turtle patients.
