Jurabi Turtle Centre, Yardie Creek Road, Exmouth, WA

Description

The Ningaloo Coast is one of the most important coastal habitats for turtles. Here you will find turtles mating in the shallow lagoon, female turtles coming ashore to lay eggs and turtle hatchlings making their way to the ocean. The Western Australian Parks and Wildlife Service conducts evening guided turtle eco-education tours from the Jurabi Turtle Centre for people wanting to view nesting turtles (December/January) turtle hatchlings emerging from the nest and making their way to the ocean (February/March). Tours operate December to March. Turtle Eco-Education Tours are educational tours that not only provide a high chance of finding and observing nesting turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs and turtle hatchlings emerging from the nest and making their way to the ocean but also teaches participants how to do so in an unobtrusive manner. By participating in one of these very affordable guided tours, you are actively helping to conserve marine turtle populations and will have a better opportunity to view turtle nesting activity and turtle hatchlings in the natural environment. During the tour you will be guided by staff who will explain more about marine turtles and the environment they occupy, all the while looking for female turtles emerging from the ocean to lay their eggs and turtle hatchlings emerging from their nest making their way to the ocean. Meet at Jurabi Turtle Centre at 6:25pm for briefing & then drive in your own vehicle to a beach nearby. JURABI TURTLE CENTRE is located on Yardie Creek Road approx 500m south of Hunter Access. Suitable for ages 5 and above
