Where to see wild sea turtles in Hikkaduwa?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 18, 2026

Giant wild green sea turtles swim right up to the shoreline at the specific “Turtle Beach” part of Hikkaduwa, which is sitting straight in front of the Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon hotel.

These wild marine reptiles come into the shallows every day; they feed on seaweed, and the whole thing is incredibly accessible. That said, visitors are strongly urged to just watch without touching the shells, because human bacteria can mess up the turtles’ immune systems.
