I would recommend visiting The Turtle Hospital if you are visiting the keys. Our guide Tammy was very informative and friendly. The turtles that are rescued are well taken care of. If they can be released back into the ocean they are in due time. If they can not be they become permanent residents.

Such a great tour! Our guide, I think her name was Christine, did an awesome job teaching about the different types of turtles and the many reasons why they treat them! I’ve been to other turtle “hospitals”, none talk to you.. you just walk around and look in the pools.
