Here at The Majlis Resort, we often watch sea turtles swimming in the mangrove channels of Takwa and off the coral reefs. We were recently lucky to have shown by locals a nest that had hatched a few days earlier, with a few eggs remaining. We decided to see if they had finally hatched and made their way to the ocean. We were surprised to discover that several baby turtles hatched and were ready to leave home! We saw them frantically heading towards the ocean and not long after entered the water where they started swimming for the first time! As they popped their heads up to take their first breathe and started swimming in the open Indian ocean, we realised this was an incredible experience none of us would ever forget!
