Hopefully you will grab a glimpse of a turtle in the wild on a boat ride, if not, this is the next best thing. The interaction pool is the best part - never knew John Cameron based the original baby Alien creature on a hermit crab, but now I do.

Just $3 US per person to visit this fun place and see the turtles and other sealife. Interesting areas where eggs are buried in sand in a protected space.

We went here because it was just down the road from where we were staying on Isla and really enjoyed it. It is a small turtle rescue area but worth the 20 minutes to go to it.

Tortugranja was good for 10-15 mins. Lots of Turtles to see, good if you have rented a golf buggy. Worth the visit.

It was great to see the range of turtles and terrapins here, and they had a range of other sea creatures as well (not all local). There was no information about the animals, why the turtle farm exists or the work they do, and the staff didn't offer anything, just helped with handling some of the few animals that we... More

Not so great of a educative Turtle farm place. There are turtles that they definitely keep for tourists touring but they do offer sactuary to injured turtles and have eggs incubating in the sand for greater success of hatches. It is a maximum 10 minute stop as there is not much to see. I just hope my admission prce of... More

Only 30 pesos to get in! It is small but the staff was very knowledgable and I learned so much! They have a small area to hold urchins, horseshoe crabs, stingrays, a choch, and other small sea creatures. We even got to hold and touch the smaller turtles inside.
