The Turtle Hospital

The Turtle Hospital in Marathon rehabilitates injured sea turtles and runs guided educational tours. It is more rescue facility than aquarium, which is exactly why it is worth visiting: the stories are about boat strikes, fishing line, disease, and the hard work of returning animals to the water.

Tours usually need reservations, especially in winter and school-holiday periods. It is a good stop for families, but adults interested in the marine environment will get plenty from it too.
