Small sanctuary it was worth a peso to see this place . I love to see how the turles are being rehabilitated and preserved for the futre.
Small - just a few tanks of turtles up to one year old. They grow fast. You can touch them and feed them.
This beach is large, with a very fine white sand. From Plaja Blanca there are free busses and catamarans, I think 3 times per day. At the bus stop there are also few places where you can buy souvenirs, rom, cigars. It's a nice area, bars and restaurants there are a nice shelter from the hot sun. At the place where you embark on the catamaran there are two dauphins, which are a nice attraction. The specific white and black birds will appreciate your bred crumbs. It's a very nice place.
The best dollar you can spend in Cayo Largo! Located near the marina and includes food for you to feed the turtles. Kids will love this!
Closed between 11:45 to 1:15, normally 12-1 but cuban time, you know... not really on time...and even some...so go at 2 or 10 am...
We wandered in and around. There were some turtles sorted by size swimming in circles in very small pools. No staff anywhere to be seen.
seemed more like a rouse to get you to buy stuff at the vendors in the village....its nice to see that they are doing something to protect turtles but all that you saw was a couple of small concrete pools with a few turtles swimming around....wasn't like you learned anything or had a guide showing you around...pretty boring for an attraction that they rave about.
This takes only 30 minutes of your time. It will cost you 3 pesos. It is located at La Marina. You can touvh the turtles... but be careful ask before there is one kind that bites.
Similar to the ones we have seen elsewhere in the Caribbean. The talk was interesting.Not too many turtles to see.
We went here in order to get a mini break from the hotel. For 1 peso per person and 1 peso for a handful of fish food, you can feed several (5-6) tanks filled with various sized turtles. It was a short 15 minute visit but fun and well worth it. Afterwards you can visit the vendor carts near by and stay for a while in the dock side restaurant. Best part... picking up huge turtles and taking pictures with them.
