BUNDABERG TURTLE SEASON

The 2019/20 turtle season has now come to an end.

Mon Repos Turtle Encounter is the only ranger-guided turtle encounter available on the east-coast and is instrumental in the research into turtle conservation, specifically the endangered Loggerhead turtles that frequent this beach.

Take an unrivalled peak behind the curtain of a natural wonder thousands of years in the making at Mon Repos Conservation Park. Watch as mother turtles lay their clutches of eggs from November – January on a ranger-guided Mon Repos Turtle Encounter. In January – March form a pathway to the ocean for the baby turtles as they begin their dangerous journey into adolescence with only 1 in 1000 turtles making it to maturity. Come witness a miracle on a Mon Repos Turtle Encounter and create memories to last a lifetime.

SWIM WITH THE TURTLES

Continue your turtle encounter by spending a day out on the beautiful Southern Great Barrier Reef swimming with the feeding mother turtles. Take a quick scenic flight to Lady Elliot Island or boat ride to Lady Musgrave Island and enjoy the warm, crystal clear waters teaming with vibrant coral and marine life. Explore these pristine islands with trained marine biologists, learning about this amazing eco-system. Pull on your snorkels and dive in! The waters of the Southern Great Barrier Reef are home to magnificent (and curious) marine life like our friendly turtles and manta rays. Why not bring your underwater camera or go pro and grab an iconic selfie with a turtle?!

Add a little more turtle to your next holiday with the Mon Repos Turtle Encounter and a day trip to swim with the turtles on the Southern Great Barrier Reef.
