hiya, we saw the turtles hatch last year but it was the end of january. This year they laid there eggs in december so hatching would probably be around the same time again. BUt if you go tomorjim, go to a beach shack called planet hollywood and speak to shaun. He will tell you all about them and if any are hatching, he will show you!
Thanks alot laura.
P.S by the way there's no flash photography allowed so don't expect any photo's
The way I understand things the turtles lay eggs and the eggs hatch only on a full moon or the night after.
Full moons for 2006 are as follows:
Jan 14
Feb 13
Mar 14
Apr 13
May 13
Jun 11
Jul 11
Aug 9
Sep 7
Oct 7
Nov 5
Dec 5
but when we were there in March 2005 we were told that no turtles had come ashore to lay since the Tsunami.
Whether the turtles have returned this year I do not know.
As people have said the best bet is to go to Morjim Beach and ask around.
yeah the turtles did return in november/december last year for laying the eggs, as the shacks on morjim beach had to delay there season unitl the turtles had finished! some hatched at the begining of feb, not sure if there are any left!
The guys at the planet hollywood shack were really great though telling us all about the turtles and showing us pictures from previous years.
