The Turtle Hospital experience was a highlight, the overall experience of an opportunity to feed the turtles & photograph them up close. Our guide offered an insight into the many types of turtles as well as some of the dangers they experience. Value for money & enjoyable!

The Cairns Aquarium was a fantastic experience from start to finish, showcasing an impressive and diverse range of marine life. There was so much variety in the species on display that every section felt interesting and engaging. Even though the aquarium was busy, it was well laid out and never felt overcrowded, making it easy to explore at a relaxed pace. The turtle rehabilitation add-on was a definite highlight of the visit — incredibly informative and rewarding, and it added a meaningful, hands-on element that made the whole experience even more memorable.

The turtle hospital tour was incredible! Such a great experience and so moving to know that the funds for the tour go directly to the turtle rehabilitation centre. The lady who volunteers her time there is so passionate and her work is amazing!
