Turtle Spotting
In the evening between September and November, you can spot giant Olive Ridley and green turtles along parts of the Karachi shoreline. The best way see them is to go with a local naturalist or hire a boat from Keamari with a knowledgeable captain for the specific purpose of watching them. Hawkes Bay and Sandspit are the prime places to spot turtles. A handy local contact is the green turtle project officer at the Sindh Wildlife Management Board, who is responsible for their protection.
The PTDC office can also advise on hiring boats and arrange tours with enough notice.

Boating
At Keamari Harbour you can hire a boat to take you to Manora Island. Aside from the ferry, boats can be hired for around Rs300 per hour according to size, up to around Rs2000 for the whole day. Some captains can offer sea fishing, or even just crabbing within the harbour, both outside the monsoon season. The PTDC office can advise on more nautical options.
