Save The Sea Turtle Volunteer Program at Tioman Island

The natural beauty of the island is its biggest attraction. Lush tropical jungle covers about 12,000 hectares of the island and countless mountain streams and waterfalls sustain the many protected species of mammals and birds. The waters around the island are filled with corals of all shapes and colours and home to a vast diversity of sea creatures, including two species of marine turtle.


There are a few excellent beaches on Tioman, and these curves of golden sand are usually tucked away at the edges of villages or fronting one of the many resorts. Locate about 56 kilometres off the coast of Pahang, Tioman boasts a wide range of things to do involving water sport activities; landlubbers looking for things to see on the island are out of luck unless you count exploring and watching Tioman’s various species of mammals and birds.

This 1 to 6 weeks program is an environment conservation project aimed to rejuvenate The Sea Turtle Population in the most natural possible. This volunteer program involved egg protection and hatching, explaining environmental responsibility & conservation of marine habitats. In this program, volunteers are expected to play their part from raking the beach to cleaning the dishes to creating the safe environment for the turtles. Accommodation, foods & logistic are included in this program. 


Have fun, contribute and love our nature!
