    They have baby turtles in a "tank" that you can check out but the fun is jumping into the water with the young turtles and patting them.. one did go for my wife's toe thinking it was food 😁

    It has reopened and visited today (March 2025) communication not great so not sure how much of a sanctuary it actually is. Hoping there was some form of rehabilitation or good coming from the place but didn't get clear explanation on how they were helping. Can see iguana, coconut crabs and baby and adult sea turtles. Price was 2000 Vatu per person so not cheap. My partner enjoyed the experience and it was good to see turtles up close, just the ecological benefits in not sure about

    I mean they also help the small turtles. I liked it there. Unforgettable experience. Also iguanas and coconut crabs.

    Have no clue what to expect when our drivers brought us here. Like my other review on Naiwe Beach, this felt inhumane, keeping turtles and sharks in captive, while having humans feed these animals and taking photos, making money out of the process. Pretty sure that with the view of the ocean, the little village cooks, they can do better maximise resources in a more palatable way.

    We were taken here by our Bus Driver with little explanation. I would not recommend anyone to go here as it just supports keeping these animals out of the natural environment. The massive Lemon Shark was just swimming in circles in a horribly small enclosure along with a Leopard Shark that was not even moving… The pool (enclosure) they have for the turtles is small & the bloke just chased the turtles and grabs them to out up on the beach for tourists to take photos with. They apparently served lunch at a ridiculous price which were not game to try. Don’t Waste 2000vt per adult
