# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Turtle Mania | The Bucket list of Oman (BABY TURTLES HATCHING SEASON)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Mon, 14 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 am (+04:00)
- **Event Description**: Turtles are no doubt the national animals of Oman. Those mysterious creatures are in fact air breathing reptiles and so they need to surface every couple of hours, depending on activity. A resting or sleeping turtle can remain underwater for 4-7 hours.

The green turtles - subject of our discovery, spend their whole life in the water. Only at the age of 37-40 yo, and only female turtles, crawl up the sand beaches to lay the eggs. This is an enormous effort to the animal which is not used to tis environment. You can probably only understand how difficult it is for them, when you see the female crawling back, without any energy left, back to the ocean, after only few hours spent on shore.

Adult green turtles are as big as 1.5 metres and weight upto 190 kg. Baby turtles are not bigger than 10cms and start their lives with the most dangerous journey - from the sands they were born at - to the sea. Most of them will do it at night, trying to avoid hungry foxes, crabs or birds.

There are plenty of other interesting aspects - for example gender of baby turtle depends on the sand temperature in which eggs are hatching. If sand temperature is less than 28C, those will be males, above 28C - females. Now just imagine, how global warming can reduce their population.

When the sand incubation of eggs comes to an end, baby turtles hatch and start their march to the sea creating emotional moments for cheering spectators!

We will have enough time to explore two of the most beautiful nature wonders nearby - Wadi Shabb and Bimah Sinkhole. Great for exploration in the spring/summer, with year round chill water, those two have been serving as a natural water park and inspiration for Wild Wadi alikes.

Since the distance from Dubai is quite substantial, we will firstly fly to Muscat, sleep over and move to the destinations in rented cars. All you need to do is pack your bag and enjoy the trip.

Here is how we will go about it:

DAY 1 // Friday
Meeting at DXB airport for a flight to Muscat.
Immigration, overnight in 4 star hotel.

DAY 2 // Saturday
Early morning start, quick breakfast, and drive in rented cars to Wadi Shab. After 45 minutes, with breaks to cool down in pools, we will reach the secluded waterfall and enjoy the uniqueness of this place. After 2 hours in the water we will head back to cars and take off to Sur.

Lunch and sunset boat trip in Sur Bay. If we're lucky, this is where we meet first turtles.

In the evening we will head to Turtle Reserve for a close encounter and cheer the hatching females.

Approximately 20,000 turtles or more lay an estimated 30,000 nests each year on the beaches around.

DAY 3 // Sunday

After breakfast we will grab our snorkels and say hi to the turtles hanging around the shore. There are usually in a big number here, however nature is never predictable 100% - turtles presence depends on several factors. We will discover nearby idyllic shores of this little known part of Oman.

On the way back we will pass by Wadi Tiwi and Bimah sinkhole, when we will take a last dip before heading to airport for return flight home.

Here are the galleries from our previous trips, Wet & Wild version with accent on Wadis, rather than turtles:
