Horrific experience. I’m not sure how this place is still open. If I could give zero stars I would. Just look at the AI overview of this place if you have any hope that this place is worth your time.

Both my mom and I were then bitten and left bleeding. They giggled and told us it was a “kiss” from the turtles and acted like it was no big deal. They wiped the wound with alcohol, told us we won’t “die” and sent us on our way.

After reading reviews we have learned it is not uncommon at all to be bitten by these animals here, they are stressed out and overcrowded. We read a review from a local saying this is a fake conservation and they capture healthy turtles claiming to “help them” which I fully believe. I am very disappointed to have been a contribution to this organization and do...
