Amazing people doing amazing work. A great place to visit and be inspired.
I didn't really know what to expect from the Turtle Hospital in the first place... now I have to say, it really is a great place!! Our guide was so enthusiastic, you could really feel how much passion they put in the challenge helping these turtles to recover and get released again.
