    What an amazing experience! And one that exceeded the expectations of our family group. We watched a loggerhead turtle lay her eggs, bury them and return to the ocean…she was a 1 in a 1000! The conservation efforts and knowledge shared by experts and volunteers amplified the experience!

    Wonderful time here today, we watched a cinematic tour of turtles, hatchlings, and how we can all do our bit to help these creatures. Starting one man at a time to becoming a world wide cause. The cafe offered plenty of choices to eat and drink and the artwork on display was totally stunning, no photography allowed so I cannot add a photo. Go see for yourself, you won't be disapointed. Very helpful staff too. Thank you.

    A fascinating beach that changes so much as you walk it. Starting as golden sand at one end, moving through to shellgrit then pebbles and finally volcanic rock. Beautiful.

    Went this arvo to see if we could see any baby turtles, just saw the one, the ranger said he was deformed and they had found him stuck under roots while checking hatched nests..

    Wonderful volunteers, lots of information provided. My husband walks with crutches, we had a volunteer assigned to us who ensured we got the full experience. The Centre itself is world class with displays and images to maintain interest while waiting to head for the beach. Good compromise between turtle conservation and public information and propaganda. Money well spent. I would come again.
