Can’t believe there aren’t more reviews here.Went on a night walk to watch a loggerhead turtle lay about 100 eggs and return to the ocean.We are from Australia and didn’t really know what to expect. My wife and our 2 girls aged 7 and 9. We travelled with another family of 4 with girls the same age.We met the most wonderful volunteers who spent the first part of the night explaining in a presentation Loggerhead turtles and what we must do during the walk. During this the other volunteers walk a mile and a bit up and down the beach to go and find a turtle who will give birth.We were so lucky that they found 2 so we were then guided to 1 of them.In the moonlight and stars guiding us we walked a fair way up the beach along the shoreline and came to the most spectacular sight.A massive loggerhead turtle mother laying eggs. Our girls were allowed to get within 3 feet behind the turtle. We then watched it cover the sand nest/hole and return to the ocean.The volunteers were incredible with our children and us. Their knowledge was amazing and we are so grateful to have them do such amazing work.This is a must do! Warning: You WILL get wet (your feet and legs will). You CANT take photos or video as ANY Light is strictly prohibited. Very rare experience so you will be only able to tell the story! So different in this day and age.Also it can take them a while to find turtles so be ready it could go very late.Also make sure your kids can behave. It’s critical to be quiet.A huge thank you to these amazing people. Well worth it!

Learn a bit about sea turtles here. See shells to gain knowledge of size. Learn about the nests they lay.

My friend and I were excited for this. When we arrived, the volunteer said we needed to go inside for an hour and a half for a presentation. That turned into three hours. We never even went on the beach. It was so boring. We had no clue we didn't get to go look for the turles. This was never explained to us. I would NEVER do this again. Of course, the volunteers did not spot a turtle. At midnight, we left. No refund. BORING.

Informative place to stop for anyone who loves sea turtles. Gift shop offers lots of different turtle merchandise. Stop, buy something & help save a turtle.

We didn't have any plans for Thursday and found out about the sea turtle preservation society via TripAdvisor. We decided to stop and we are so pleased that we did. The clerk, Donna, was very enthusiastic about what the society does. She was so kind, and helpful. She told us about a turtle release that was happening that afternoon further south of Melbourne. She took the time to give us directions and show us exactly how to get to that beach section and park. We were able to find the spot and participate in the release of two turtles. It made our day. My husband and I could not have been happier. They also have great T-shirts and other gifts that of course pertain to turtles. They also provide an educational experience about turtles. It is well worth a stop.
