THE TURTLE ISLAND PARK


THE TURTLE ISLAND PARK located 40 km north of Sandakan in the Sulu Sea and consist of Selingan, Bakungan Kecil and Gulisan islands. The park was built for the endangered green and hawksbill turtles. It gives the tourist rare oppurtunity to watch turtle landing and turtle hatchery. Accommodation and basic facilities are provided to the tourists at the Selingan Island. Overnight stay would be the best choice as the turtle landing usually occur after dusk and the peak season for turtle lay their eggs is between July and October when the sea is calmer.
