The Perhentian Turtle Project was established by Fuze Ecoteer in 2015. The project works in close collaboration with the local community, stakeholders, Department of Fisheries (DOF) and Marine Parks Division.

The project is currently based in two places: Kampung Pasir Hantu (Fisherman’s Village) on Perhentian  Kecil and Pantai Tiga Ruang (Turtle Beach aka the nesting beach) on Perhentian Besar.

Volunteers will be aiding the team in their day to day task such as kayak surveys, taking photo IDs of turtles, night patrols under the stars at the nesting beach we protect, transferring eggs and monitoring for hatchlings at our hatchery, conduct awareness talks and more. It is not all work and no play as once a week, volunteers will get to have Malay Dinner, learn how to  make 'Kuih' (traditional Malay dessert) and go on an Eco-Snorkel Tour.

Join us in our fight to protect and conserve sea turtles!

Giornata tipica

While in the village, volunteers will get to go on kayak patrols to various locations to take photo IDs of turtles to collect data on the individual, their movements and feeding habits. Volunteers will also be conducting awareness talks with the team at nearby dive shops and resorts to spread the knowledge on sea turtles conservation and on how the public can be citizen scientists. Other than that, volunteers will be involved in our weekly beach cleans which is conducted with our sister projects on the island.


At the nesting beach, volunteers get to experience life away from the crowd and will be on night patrols to deter poachers from the beach and to observe mother turtle as it lays its clutch. Data on the individual turtle and its eggs will be collected and the eggs will then be transferred to the hatchery. The hatchery will also be monitored for hatchlings, which, upon discovery, will be released to the ocean.

Volunteers will have about 5 - 6 hours of work in a day from Monday to Saturday and will have their off day on a Sunday. On their off days, volunteers may explore the islands and all that it has to offer, relax by the ocean or choose to work on a mini-project. Ideas for a mini project that correlates with the project are always welcomed and open for discussion.

Once a week, volunteers will get to have a taste of authentic Malay food at the house of a local! This is a great time to interact with your host and get to know the culture better. 


Attività del tempo libero

Volunteers can use our kayak on their off days if they wish to kayak, go snorkelling with one of the snorkel operators, diving with the local dive shops, read or stroll around the village.
