In particular, this is also a great opportunity for you to witness the turtle egg-laying season with your own eyes. Therefore, do not miss this period in the Turtle Egg-Laying Season Travel Guide.<\/p>\n<p>From May to August is the peak breeding season of sea turtles. This is also the summer tourist season and the experience of turtle egg-laying season on Con Dao, so the preparation of conditions to attract turtles to lay eggs and serve tourists to experience, where tourists can witness sea turtles nesting on the beach or watch the little turtles trying to swim to the blue sea.<\/p>\n<p>Con Dao covers an area of up to 14,000 hectares of water, and is home to a large number of sea turtles. Scientists have assessed this place as the place with the largest number of turtles nesting in the country, with an average of 350 mother turtles laying eggs each year and the number of eggs hatching is 50,000 baby turtles.<\/p>\n<p>After 2-4 weeks of mating, the male turtles return to the feeding area, while the female turtles go to the beach to lay their first nest. After a period of 11-13 days of resting from egg production, they continue to lay the next nest. An average mother turtle lays 3 nests during the breeding season, the reproductive cycle between 2 seasons is 1-5 years. Phu Quoc Express has learned about a special case recorded in Con Dao, a mother turtle laid 11 nests\/year and achieved a record number of eggs of 993 eggs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phu_Quoc_Express_goi_y_dia_diem_xem_di_xem_mua_rua_de_trung_o_Con_Dao\"><\/span>Phu Quoc Express suggests places to see turtle egg-laying season in Con Dao<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Con Dao currently has 18 sandbanks recorded as turtle nesting grounds. Of these, Bai Cat Lon and Bai Duong in Hon Bay Canh, Hon Cau, Hon Tai and Hon Tre Lon are the five areas where turtles regularly lay eggs.<\/p>\n<p>Bai Cat Lon on Hon Bay Canh is the place with the largest number of turtles laying eggs in Con Dao. Coming here to see the turtles laying eggs, visitors can only stay for 4-6 hours or a maximum of 1 night. To ensure the natural ecology, the maximum number of guests during the day is 48, and at night is 24.<\/p>\n<p>On the two small islands of Hon Bay Canh and Hon Cau, there are also eco-tours to see turtles laying eggs, rescue turtles, and release baby turtles back to the sea to serve tourism. The rangers here are also trained in tourism skills and regulations to warn and guide tourists to comply during the tour.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors will see turtles laying eggs in the evening (due to their reproductive characteristics). When the water rises, mother turtles will appear on the waves near the shore to find a place to lay their eggs. At this time, the ranger will notify visitors to go to the turtle egg-laying area.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-498\" src=\"https:\/\/dulichcondao.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/du-lich-con-dao-bang-tau-cao-toc-ngam-mua-rua-de-trung-4-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Go to Con Dao by speedboat to see turtle egg laying season with Phu Quoc Express\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>In Con Dao, there was a special case where a mother turtle laid a record number of 993 eggs. (Phu Quoc Express)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Turtles will choose a fine sand area near bushes to make their nests. After laying eggs, the mother turtle will cover the nest, erase traces to protect her eggs, and then return to the sea. When the mother turtle leaves the nest, the rangers will collect the turtle eggs and bring them back to the nest to incubate at the animal conservation area in Con Dao. Turtle eggs must be moved within 6 hours of being laid by the mother turtle, because this is the time when the embryos temporarily stop developing and can withstand light collisions and disturbances.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, if the temperature in the incubator is lower than 26oC, the ratio of males is higher than females and above 30oC, the opposite is true. Therefore, it is necessary to use a temperature recorder in the incubator with a continuous recording time of 150 minutes, then regularly check the temperature to adjust, ensure gender balance of baby turtles and the temperature does not exceed the threshold of egg death.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-499\" src=\"https:\/\/dulichcondao.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/du-lich-con-dao-bang-tau-cao-toc-ngam-mua-rua-de-trung-3-1-500x306.jpg\" alt=\"Go to Con Dao by speedboat to see turtle egg laying season with Phu Quoc Express\" width=\"1000\" height=\"612\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>After 30 years, baby turtles will return to the place where they were born to mate and reproduce.

Witnessing baby turtles finding their way back to the sea, we can see the survival ability of this special marine animal. After 30 years, baby turtles will return to the place where they were born to mate and reproduce. When turtles in Con Dao come ashore to lay eggs, they are all given identification codes to track when they return to lay eggs.<\/p>\n<p>Besides watching sea turtles reproduce and releasing baby turtles into the sea, from March to the end of September every year is also a good time for tourists to go to Con Dao by speedboat and do other attractive tourist activities in Con Dao such as taking sea tours, diving to see corals and exploring deserted islands, etc., visiting Ms. Sau&#039;s grave at Hang Duong cemetery, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Phu Quoc Express.<\/p>\n<p><script>;<\/script><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Du l\u1ecbch C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o m\u00f9a r\u00f9a \u0111\u1ebb tr\u1ee9ng H\u00f4m nay Ph\u00fa Qu\u1ed1c Express s\u1ebd gi\u1edbi thi\u1ec7u v\u1edbi b\u1ea1n m\u1ed9t tr\u1ea3i nghi\u1ec7m v\u00f4 c\u00f9ng \u0111\u1ed9c \u0111\u00e1o khi gh\u00e9 th\u0103m C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o m\u00f9a h\u00e8 n\u00e0y v\u00e0 th\u0103m quan tr\u1ea3i nghi\u1ec7m m\u00f9a r\u00f9a \u0111\u1ebb tr\u1ee9ng.
