β β β β β What they did here is very noble. When a turtle is hurt or injured dued to fishing activities, here is where they will be brought for rehabilitation.
We were here because it was one of the activity from clubmed as it is located by the entrance of Clubmed. We departed at 11am and I can tell you it's not an easy task to walk with children. Roughly I think the whole walk is almost close to 1km and under the sun is crazy. But it was worth it as our kids really enjoy the experience of seeing the turtles.
My advise will be do take your stroller if you have one, else it's not really suitable for kids under 5 yrs old in my personal opinion. Else you will have to carry them on the way back.

β β β β β As I went during the school holiday, it was kinda disappointing when the exhibition is only a brief line of glass displays. There should be more explanation done by the officers there as I am sure kids (and adults) would surely appreciate a good story telling.

β β β β β worth the visit since its free. Need to take off your shoes before entering the sanctuary. There are 3 pools with turtles of different species. Overall, its a quick visit . Do make some donation to upkeep this place. There is a donation box near the entrance.

β β β β β Very informative on history and turtle hatchery at cherating. No entry charges. Can view baby and medium size turtles. Located just beside club mate resort. Also cam view the south China sea beach. Peaceful area to view the waves.

β β β β β The place is just before the entrance to Club Med Cherating. Ample parking around. Been here for few times, it seemed well kept. Not much interactive activities, come and look at the turtles.
The pool where the turtles are kept felt small if one to learn that turtle can travel over 4000km in their natural environment. I wish for a much more natural pond can be made instead of tiled pool, hence the word sanctuary would be more appropriate.

β β β β β Free entrance, but you are encouraged to donate some for the sanctuary daily operation. Highly recommended to bring your kids here and learn about turtle hatching, their life and challenges after the turtles were released to the sea.
There are 3 to 4 pools available for the visitors to see the real turtles.
There were also explanation board in the exhibition room.
The place is small, very near to the beach. If you don't like hit weather, come early in the morning.
Souvenirs were also being sold at the front desk area.

β β β β β An excellent turtle sanctuary that has been here for almost 50 years. Juvenile turtles are a guarantee here while you can try your luck to see the baby turtle (definitely not available during non-nesting season). You can learn a lot about the ecology, life cycle, threats and importance of the turtles in both Malaysia and the world. You will find precious specimens of turtles, corals and even dugong here. You should not touch the specimens as they are very fragile and precious. Do donate to them and support their excellent work by not purchase any turtle products outside!
