Last year's inaugural ecotourism Turtle Watch initiative proved so popular that the Lagoon Aquarium and the South Province, together with their partners - Bourail Townhall, the Gouaro Tribe, Bwara Tortues Marines and the Western Coastal Region - are organising a second season.

Important: you must book ahead to join a turtle watching group. Book your ticket at www.eticket.nc or at Maison de Deva or the Bourail Tourism Office. No tickets sold on the spot.

Groups restricted to 45 people per observation session.
