Hatching Of Turtles in Kosi Bay, an attraction near Kosi Bay

And we will return in steaming February to witness the energetic frenzy of hatchlings scurrying to the ocean to begin their journey to adulthood.

The eggs can take up to 70 days to hatch, with the hatchlings emerging at night and making their way to the sea from January through to March every year.
Approximately 4 hatchlings from every 1000 are estimated to reach maturity.
Most move by night, but many give in to the urgency and bolt to the ocean by day.
Recent evidence suggests that female turtles return to the beaches where they hatched.
How they know the route back to the spots they hatched on remains a mystery.
