Two ladies gave us an overview how the process of laying eggs and hatching is and what should we look for. Thanks to that we saw a turtle girl on the beach in the night

Very informative, we did take the tour where two guides tell you how and where to look for turtles nesting on beach. However, on the night we were unsuccessful. However with th info we were able to revisit again the next night and were able to see a turtle

Well informed chat & exhibits to see before you get to do your night turtle explore. We were looking to see a turtle & maybe watch her lay eggs, we were not disappointed! So well run, teaches what you have to do to keep the turtle calm & happy whilst still getting to view an unforgettable experience. I would put this on all schools curriculum.

Would be good to go back at night when the turtles come in we were there at the wrong time of the year. Still interesting though

Very interesting, don't forget to take a donation for the donation box before getting out of your car, these turtles deserve all the research and donations they can get.

The best time to visit is at night when the turtles are hatching, otherwise, it is simply a diversion from other things

A fantastic display and explanation of the annual turtle breeding process that is well worth stopping in to on your way to/from Cape Range National Park. Would be even more fascinating during the peak breeding season (Nov - Feb)

Found along the road from Exmouth to the National Park (approx 30 mins from Exmouth) is the Turtle centre. There was not much going on here when we visited. It is simply a few signs and displays which are free to visit and walk round before you can walk out onto the beach. Again not much to see. I imagine when the Turtles do visit the beach to lay their eggs or when young hatch and make for the sea, it would be fantastic...but when this isnt happening it is simply a nice place to stop for lunch with a bit of shade and a toilet. Worth stopping at for 15 minutes on your way into/out of Cape Range national park.

Looks informative but we missed the season for turtle hatching and egg laying. Very well laid out display was great for the kids to learn about turtles.

Not much going on there but definitely worth a look if you are interested in the local habitat and the turtle habits.

Nice board walk through the dunes with an information centre and displays. Didn't see any turtles but the information on the displays showed you where they usually nest, life cycles, dangers, predators and a lot of other information. Wouldn't spend too long here but worth a visit.

The Jurabi Turtle Centre houses information about the turtles life cycle and how they return to shore here where they were born some 20 years later to breed. Turtle breeding season is over the summer months, but it was interesting to read about the plight of the poor little things, with about only 1 in 1,000 making it back for breeding.

We stopped here and read the information provided on the different types of turtles who nest here, we had missed the nesting season. So environmentally great to see so much expanse of beach set aside and protected for these turtles to lay their eggs and be safe.
