This is undoubtedly a top choice among the things to do in Unawatuna, where travellers hoping to engage in underwater expeditions can purchase or rent their snorkelling gear from nearby shops in the area.
Save the Turtles
Turtles are among the many endangered species in the world that are being protected under many conservation programmes. The Habaraduwa Sea Turtle Hatchery is known to be the largest in Unawatuna and aims to protect these gentle sea creatures by collecting and conserving sea turtle eggs and releasing them into the ocean. Visitors will be allowed to lend a helping hand as volunteers at the hatchery or by offering their generous donations for this worthy cause.
