Segoro Lestari Sea Turtle Conservation at Serang Beach, Blitar, East Java

Imagine waking up to the soothing sound of ocean waves, spending your mornings helping tiny sea turtles find their way to the vast ocean, and your afternoons basking under the tropical sun. "Beach Days and Turtle Ways" is not just a volunteer program. it’s a soul-refreshing escape where your love for nature meets unforgettable adventure.

Set on breathtaking coastlines, this volunteer experience offers participants the chance to directly protect endangered sea turtles. Volunteers engage in a variety of activities, from safeguarding nesting sites and monitoring hatchlings to cleaning beaches and educating local communities about marine conservation. Every task, big or small, plays a crucial role in giving these incredible creatures a better chance at survival.

But the magic doesn’t stop at conservation work. When you're not helping turtles, you're free to immerse yourself in the beauty of the beach. The balance between meaningful work and leisure time makes this experience truly special.

Beyond the sun and sea, what makes "Beach Days and Turtle Ways" unforgettable is the connection you build—with nature, with fellow volunteers from around the world, and with yourself. It’s a chance to slow down, to live intentionally, and to leave a positive mark on the planet.

So if you’re seeking a volunteer journey that fills your days with sunshine, your heart with purpose, and your memories with endless ocean horizons, join the "Beach Days and Turtle Ways" adventure. Together, let's make every wave count!

Our staff are highly skilled in English communication, making every "Turtle Talk" presentation smooth and engaging for both local and international audiences. During each session, they deliver the information in both Indonesian and English to ensure that everyone can fully understand and enjoy the experience. This bilingual approach is especially important as we often welcome tourists from around the world who join us during the heartwarming baby turtle ( tukik ) release events. Their ability to bridge the language gap helps create a more inclusive, educational, and memorable moment for all visitors.

I had a nice time at the turtle conservation. The hosts were all very friendly and accommodating and the locals were the same. The jobs were easy to complete although they do become slightly tedious. The location is beautiful, however you can’t swim as the water is too rough and there is very little to do there so I would suggest bringing art supplies or books to keep yourself occupied.

Volunteering at Konservasi Penyusegoro has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
From the very beginning, the team made me feel completely at home. The turtle sanctuary is nestled in the heart of nature, creating a peaceful and inspiring environment. The project itself touches your heart—you genuinely feel that you’re contributing to something meaningful. Even the smallest actions here have a big impact. I’m deeply grateful for this time and highly recommend it to anyone looking to give back while reconnecting with nature and themselves.🤗🙏🏻

So many projects were carried out, and each one was unique. The sense of art was incredibly strong. One major project was creating MAN TRASH, a male doll filled with trash collected along the beach. This project has raised awareness among the local community about the importance of protecting the environment from plastic waste. For us, that’s truly amazing✨❤️

I volunteered here for a month and it was amazing. I felt extremely welcomed by Dita, Endik and the local people! This area doesn’t have any foreigners so to be immersed within local culture was genuine and insightful. Being one of the first volunteers here I had the opportunity to create a mural on the conservation doors which I was very grateful for. When I wasn’t spending time painting I was incubating turtle eggs and releasing baby turtles - this was such a special experience and to be able to help protect the turtles was priceless. I learnt a lot here and I would definitely recommend.

In just 10 days, she gave her time and heart to create a big project: Mural on the Door at our conservation spot 🎨🌊
She made the impossible possible ✨
Thank you, Ashley!
