Club Paradise Palawan’s shores serve as nesting sites for Hawksbill Sea Turtles and Green Sea Turtles. Nesting turtles visit every year from November to January, where approximately 200 hatchlings are released back to the ocean.

An adult female sea turtle returns to sea after nesting and leaves the eggs develop on their own. The incubation period varies among turtle species and is also influenced by the nest’s environmental conditions. In a span of one month, there have been two batches of turtle hatchlings at Club Paradise Palawan. The first batch of 102 baby sea turtles was released on December 15, 2020, while the second batch of 85 baby sea turtles was released on January 1, 2021.
