TESTIMONIALS
One of a kind Turtle Discovery Trip that we
joined last year. It is a very educational
trip about not only sea turtles, but
freshwater turtles too. A must for all!
One of the best “Cuti-Cuti Malaysia” trips
I’ve done! I have learned so much about
turtles and terrapins in just a weekend.
Wonderful and amazing excursion! Highly
recommended to locals and tourists alike!

It was heartening to see efforts made by
the Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia to promote awareness on the plight of
turtles. Enlightening, educational and
fun... A great way to spend the weekend
with family or friends!
