    There are no actually any turtles to be seen there.It's a total waste of money to go there and only be told of stuff one can learn via Google. We only saw one sick turtle yet we paid turtle nose. Expensive for nothing. Wouldn't recommend at all!!

    It was a very interesting visit. People working here are really caring about the ocean and the turtles. We Made the visit alone and Teresa was very clear in the explanation, answering all our questions and curiosity. We didn’t see any turtles, but in the end, that’s a good thing! Congrats for the job you are doing 🙏🏻
