Sea turtles
Dugong spotting
Easy entry
Overview
Float above green turtles grazing in a seagrass bay.
Abu Dabbab’s seagrass meadows are a feeding ground for green turtles — and, if luck is with you, the shy dugong. The bay is sheltered and shallow, so encounters happen in calm, clear water.
We combine an easy shore entry with a boat snorkel on the bay’s reef, leaving time to relax on the beach before heading back.

Three turtles within ten minutes of getting in. Calm water and a lovely guide.

Great value, easy day. We even saw the dugong from a distance!
Good to know
Trip questions
Very likely — turtles feed here year-round. Dugong sightings are rarer and a real bonus.
No. We keep a respectful distance of at least two metres and never touch or feed marine life.
If the coastguard closes the sea, we move your trip to the next available day or refund you in full — your choice.
