Fitzroy Island Turtle Rehabilitation Centre Fitzroy Island, Queensland 4871

"Ready for release? I bet if you’re reading this you support helping turtles. I’m sure this facility does. I also can’t shake the feeling that the one turtle we saw was ready for release and being kept there to give tours. She kept banging against the walls seeming to look for a way out the whole time. We saw one turtle in a smallish tank."

"I really hope they are not the ones littering all over and around their facilities! Such a shame to trash such a beautiful island!"

"I kind of expected more... thought we'd get to see the diff turtles in Rehab and here their stories, and see where they are treated... Didn't expect to just see one swimming in a pool and here the talk. Still a great cause and happy to give my money to help and protect these guys, I just had a different idea in my head of what I'd hear and see..."

"We did some filming here for Amazing Race Australia and got to meet all the turtles there. The work they do is really Important and was a privilege to be given access to see them. The staff are all welcoming, informative and really care about the turtles"

"Wow the best $11 I have spent and even better knowing the whole amount goes to the rehabilitation of turtles in FNQ. Sheree our guide was very knowledgeable and we loved every minute of the tour. The information that Sheree told us was second to none and I learnt so much. Please ensure if you read this post that you never leave any plastic on our beaches as it is killing our turtles. Jules the turtle in the photos here came to the rehabilitation center due to someone spearing her for fun, she has double her size since being here and is due to be released within the next 2 weeks. So happy to see so many sponsors of this great cause and Qantas fly all the turtles here for free."
