Welcome to Mon Repos

BUNDABERG TURTLE SEASON

Come experience a day out on the beautiful Southern Great Barrier Reef swimming alongside curious mother turtles in an effervescent coral lagoon, and add more turtle to your holiday with the Mon Repos Nightly Turtle Encounter, the only ranger-guided turtle encounter available on the east coast. Each year between November and March, turtle tracks paint our shores along Mon Repos Beach, Lady Musgrave Island and Lady Elliot Island, as mother turtles haul themselves up sandy dunes to nest, and emerging hatchlings erupt from their nests to make a dash to the sea. Come discover our regions rich turtle history and the importance of conservation with a day or overnight stay on the Southern Great Barrier Reef, or follow a trained turtle ranger on a unique Mon Repos Turtle Encounter this Bundaberg Turtle Season.

 MON REPOS TURTLE ENCOUNTER 20/21

Thanks to your support, the Mon Repos Turtle Encounters are booked out for the 2020/21 season.  Any availabilities will be filled from the Wait List, however, please be aware that it is heavily subscribed. With the Southern Great Barrier Reef just a stone's throw away, we encourage you to consider our incredible reef turtle encounters that are available with a day trip or overnight stay on Lady Musgrave Island or Lady Elliot Island.

MON REPOS TURTLE ENCOUNTER

Mon Repos Turtle Centre and the Mon Repos Turtle Encounters are managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Services (QPWS) Ranger. For everyone's safety, and in line with the park's covid plan, visitor numbers have been reduced for the Turtle Centre and Turtle Encounter tours. For more information on what to expect for the 20/21 Mon Repos Turtle Season, please click here.

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.
