Turtle Conservation and Information Centre
Marine enthusiasts will love the Turtle Conservation and Information Centre, home to majestic Hawksbill turtles, renowned for their beauty. Visitors can observe turtles swimming freely in two pools—one for younger turtles under a year old, and another for those over a year.
During spawning season, the centre can shelter 300–600 turtle egg nests. Hatchlings are released back into the sea, offering visitors a close-up, unforgettable experience. Ideal visiting months are June to August, when activities include hatching, nesting, and baby turtle releases.
The centre also houses a free-access gallery, providing fascinating insights into the life of these sea creatures.
Freeport A’Famosa Outlet
Shopaholics will delight in Freeport A’Famosa Outlet, a Dutch-inspired open-air retail paradise with over 80 stores. A highlight is the Coach Airways, a unique boutique inside a refurbished Boeing 747-230B, divided into three sections: a photo area, the main store with luxury Coach products, and a cozy café offering complimentary drinks with purchases.
Visitors can enjoy fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and F&B outlets while capturing Instagram-worthy moments across the outlet.
