In our Turtle Pool, you will see Green Turtles, as well as the Hawksbill Turtle, which was once prized for its beautifully patterned shell. Although these turtle species are endangered, we hope we have assisted their preservation over the years by rearing dozens of hatchlings here and later releasing them into the open sea.

Did you know that turtles spend their whole life in the sea, only leaving the water at nesting time, which begins around 35 to 50 years of age?
