Don’t Harass the Turtles!
Turtle watching is even more popular on the islands this year. Snorkelling boat operators have been swimming down and grabbing turtles to bring to the surface for snorkellers to see. Tourists are holding on to the turtles, or swimming so close to them and stopping them from coming to the surface for a breath of air.
If you book on a snorkelling trip and this happens then please show your dissatisfaction. And please email me with the details so I can continue to highlight the environmental concerns we have on the islands. The photo below show tourists holding a turtle at Redang Island, but we have seen this happen here all too often too.
