Answer

The nesting season for sea turtles typically runs from November to March, making this a strong option time to witness these magnificent creatures. During this period, you can often find nests along the beaches.

• If you're interested in seeing baby turtles, many conservation projects like the Phuket Marine Biological Center offer hatchling releases from around December to April, providing a magical experience.

Check age, height, fitness and supervision requirements before paying. Build in shade, water and rest time, and avoid overloading a family day with long cross-island transfers.

Prices, schedules, access rules and operating hours can change, so confirm the current details with the provider or relevant authority before travelling.
