The Ningaloo Coast is an important habitat for marine turtles. Several species of marine turtle regularly nest along the shores from December to March.

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions' Parks and Wildlife Service conducts evening guided turtle education tours from the Jurabi Turtle Centre. Join guides while they share their knowledge of marine turtles, how they nest, and the Ningaloo Coast. 

Meet education guides at Jurabi Turtle Centre at 6:25pm for a briefing and then head to one of the nearby beaches to look for female turtles and nesting activity. Guided turtle education tours increase the chance of finding and observing nesting turtles in their natural environment without disturbing the process.
