This expedition is unique and no other tourists will experience what you will during this experience.  You will not only be able to help and conserve sea turtles in Terengganu but you will experience the essence of the problem for sea turtle conservation in Malaysia – egg poaching.  This is a chance for you to glare face to face with the real issues and problems turtle conservationists face in Malaysia but also be a part of the efforts to conserve these majestic reptiles whom have been around since the time of the dinosaurs.

Wake up to dream sunrises, collect vital sea turtle nesting data and discover the essence of the Malay culture and spare some time to visit and help three sea turtle conservation projects.  This is one expedition not to be missed.
