DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWERS HERE

Yes – adopting a turtle is a lovely way to give a gift that really makes a difference. You can adopt a turtle for yourself or as a gift for someone special.

During the adoption process, you can enter both your email address and the email address of the person receiving the gift. If you’d prefer to keep it a surprise or choose the perfect moment to share the certificate, we recommend using your own email address in both fields. That way, all emails and certificates will come directly to you.

If you choose the Premium adoption option, you’ll also receive a follow-up email within up to 20 days, letting you know when your turtle has hatched and including the official adoption certificate as a PDF.

If you choose the Premium adoption, you’ll receive a friendly email update within up to 20 days of your adoption. This email includes your adoption certificate as a PDF.

Your adoption is already doing something wonderful: helping to protect sea turtles and the places they depend on.

While we’re not able to track individual turtles, your support contributes to rescue efforts and the protection of nesting and hatching sites. This allows us to care for turtles where help is needed most and create lasting impact.

If you haven’t received your confirmation email within two hours of adopting through our website, please get in touch with us at adoptions@tuicarefoundation.com and we’ll be happy to help.

Please note that adoption certificates are provided for adoptions made directly on the TUI Care Foundation website.

By adopting a turtle, you’re helping to protect sea turtles and their nesting sites around the world through the TUI Turtle Aid programme.

Together with local NGOs and tourism partners, we support turtle-friendly beaches, protect vital habitats and help visitors learn how to enjoy the coast while caring for the turtles that call it home.
