Welcome to Turtle Hatching Tours in Mafia

From June to September, experience one of nature’s most moving spectacles on Juani Island, where hundreds of baby turtles hatch and make their first courageous dash to the Indian Ocean. This unforgettable journey begins with a scenic dhow ride across beautiful Chole Bay, followed by a guided walk through the lush, untouched beauty of Juani Island—home to vibrant butterflies, towering trees, and serene coastal paths. At the eastern beach, the magic unfolds: tiny hatchlings emerge from their sandy nests and instinctively race toward the sea, flapping their little fins against the golden shore. It’s a rare, emotional experience to witness this moment of survival and hope. This tour also highlights the success of Mafia’s turtle conservation efforts, especially protecting the endangered Hawksbill Turtle, led by Sea Sense and the local community since 2001. Join us in supporting conservation while connecting with the wild. Book your Turtle Hatching Tour today and take part in a heartwarming encounter you’ll never forget.
