What to expect
Habaraduwa Turtle Hatchery. The "Sea Turtle Farm & Hatchery" is a non - profitable organization which is maintained for the survival of Sea Turtles for the next generation. From the past, due to the cruel activities of humans, there is a danger that turtles are facing extinction. These rare varieties of Sea Turtles are destroyed by man day by day. It is the duty of each and every one to take action to save these turtles from extinction for the sake of our future generation.
Stilt fishermen. The Stilt Fishing is one of the most interesting traditional fishing methods of Sri Lanka. These are the fisher folk who engage in fishing from a narrow pole tied to a stick installed on the sea bed. For the scenic picture it creates, stilt fishermen become a huge attraction for those passing-by, especially tourists.
