I got charged 20 USD per person which included the turtle release and I was expecting a better aquarium, they just charge a lot for tourists and the aquarium is quite poor, there are other aquarium that charge less for the same experience. There was only 6 small tanks for the turtles and a few tanks with lobster and some fish. I was driven there by my driver, for sure he was involved with them. My advice is to do your research and go there do not follow taxi drivers recommendation.

Came here as it was included in our tour. The decor is so tacky with giant Turtle, crab anc shark decor . The manager was so disinterested when we arrived then sent his staff to chase us to see if we had paid! As for the turtles - I understand they are injured or sick and cannot be released to the sea but how they’re kept is sad. Given their long lives surely living in a pool all day causes stress. The turtles slept or came up to breathe and some were knocking their heads against the wall of the pool, I think they can do better. Let the turtles roam free in their own enclosure and keep them separated if required but with access to land and water.

I felt feeling really bummed out tbh It was amazing seeing turtles in real life but the excitement was short lived when I realised that some of them would spend their long lives in a completely empty tank barely bigger than them for their reasonably long lives. One of them destined to be miserable was an albino so otherwise fit and healthy but just slightly more vulnerable to predators and instead of letting it roam free for however long nature allows, they want to keep them in a barren tank and a tourist attraction...horrible. We were asked to donate towards the 'hospital' they were building too. We asked about vets and got a very wishy washy answer too. There was a mutilated turtle with just one fin that couldn't swim that was in a shallow tank big enough for its body which obviously couldn't be released as it would never swim, instead of putting it out of its misery it's left to sit in 4 inches of water, facing a blue wall to get touched by humans all day every day. I asked our guide if he'd be happy if he was just a body facing a wall and he laughed (language barrier). The tanks for the black tips and other fish are just fibre glass with no vegetation or places to hide, just bubbles. Baby turtles need to make the run from the nest to the sea to calibrate their navigation system so I'm not sure how they make sure that still happens either. I'm not convinced that the animals are being rehabilitated and set free to be honest.
