About this place
Discover marine turtles of the Nyinggulu (Ningaloo) Coast with a visit to the Jurabi Turtle Centre. The centre is open all year round, is wheelchair accessible, and is suitable for all ages.
Learn about turtle species that live along this stretch of coastline and uncover their fascinating life cycle through interpretive displays. Over the summer months, you may even spot turtles mating and nesting from the beach nearby, or hatchlings starting their journey as they head towards the water.
When spotting turtles in their natural environment, follow the Turtle Watchers Code of Conduct to enhance your experience and minimise disturbance.
From December to March, join a guided turtle education tour. Discover more about marine turtles with guides who share their knowledge and look for turtle activity. Joining a guided tour increases the chance of safely viewing nesting turtles and allows you to learn from the experts.
