To all the people criticizing this establishment - think about this for a moment. Turtles are eventually released to the wild. They are released while being already bigger, and with harder shells. Now, use your two woke-minded brain cells, and try to understand which kind of a turtle has higher chance of survival. Is it the tiny one with the soft shell, trying to figure out which way is the sea or a bigger one with the developed shell, and some life experience? It's not going to hurt you to leav

A must visit in Gili Memo. The boss does everything himself relying entirely on tourist donations. I see many unintelligble people writing reviews complaining that the turtles stay too long in the tanks without factoring in the survival rates of these turtles exceeds 50%. In the wild the survival rate is 1 in 1000 (0.1%). If you see a turtle in the gili islands there is a good chance it was born and raised here at this sanctuary. If you are respectful and polite the owner will teach you everythi

If you are a turtle lover then this place is pretty cool.

Lovely to see lots of baby turtles being looked after so well.

This place is free to visit, but please make a donation to help support the turtles in the gili Islands. Worth a visit.

Stopped by the turtle sanctuary in Gili Meno during a short break on my snorkeling trip. It’s free to visit and you’ll see baby turtles in small pools. I only stayed a few minutes to take some photos and videos since I wasn’t on the island for long. Nothing too fancy, but a nice little stop if you’re already nearby.

**★★★★☆ Avviv — 6 months ago

It was lovely to see the turtles. There’s no entrance fee, but we also didn’t receive any explanation about the project or what they do.

From what we read, the man in the picture takes care of the turtles and works there full-time. He releases them into the ocean once they reach 9 months of age. He feeds and cares for them using the money he receives from donations – which is a really great thing.

If you visit, consider leaving a donation in the box – we think it’s definitely worth it.
