Turtle chasing in Hikkaduwa
馃彣 Hotel Stay: Weligama Marriot Bay Marriott The hotel includes breakfast and dinner, with breakfast from 6:30 am to 10 am, and dinner from 7 pm to 10 pm. The buffet offers a chef's station for made-to-order dishes, and the counters are divided by cuisine types, including an Indian section and an Asian section. The food is at a standard level. 馃毝馃徎 Daily Itinerary: Depart from the hotel at 10 am - Mangrove boat tour at 14 pm - Black Kaduwela Beach at 16 pm - Coconut grove sunset at 18 pm Black Kaduwela Beach: 馃専馃専馃専馃専 The beach is free of charge, and there are locals selling seagrass for around 500-1000 rupees. You can ask them to first lead you to the sea turtles. Remember to bring a swimsuit 馃憴 because the turtles are not on the beach; you have to go a little way into the sea, to about mid-thigh depth, where sea turtles appear. However, due to the large waves 馃寠, even without a swimsuit, you will get wet. After taking you there, they will first use the seagrass to lure the sea turtles to your side and then hand them over for you to feed. I stayed for about an hour that day and saw five or six sea turtles, so the probability is quite high. When feeding the sea turtles, place the food near the turtle's head; they will come to eat if it's close enough. #Black Kaduwela Beach#Kaduwela#Trip diary#Sri lanka#Sri lanka trip
