Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: More than just sea turtles, this conservation center also safeguards two species of crocodiles and several tropical fish species. Over 200 sea turtles representing different species glide through the pools, some weighing over 400 pounds.
Kohokohdat: Visitors can hold freshly hatched baby sea turtles during the summer months, feeling their tiny flippers paddle against your palms. The center's breeding program has released over 15,000 hatchlings into the wild, giving guests a direct role in conservation.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- Go during feeding time around 11 AM to see the turtles most active and aggressive for their food.
- Bring a waterproof camera or phone case for photos through the pool viewing windows.
- Skip the overpriced gift shop near the exit and buy souvenirs in downtown Isla Mujeres instead.
- Wear mosquito repellent, as the shaded outdoor enclosures can attract bugs near the pools.
