The Discovery


This replica of the natural habitats of marine turtles enables you to get better acquainted with these reptiles and their 110 million years of evolution. The route will take you through a typical coral island beach to a natural seawater basin of some 500 000 litres in which several species of marine turtles lead a near-natural life. The end of the trail takes you under the surface of the tank where you can watch the turtles swimming through a 20 square metre curved window.
