Turtles, Great 8, Southern Great Barrier Reef

Turtles, a key highlight of the Great 8 on the Southern Great Barrier Reef, offer a captivating glimpse into the region’s rich marine life. The reef is home to several species, including the green turtle and loggerhead turtle, both known for their impressive migrations and serene presence. These gentle creatures can often be seen gracefully swimming among the coral gardens or resting on sandy bottoms, making them a favourite among divers and snorkelers.

One of the best places to witness these incredible animals is at Mon Repos, near Bundaberg, which is a significant nesting site. From November to March, visitors can observe female turtles laying eggs and, a few weeks later, watch as tiny hatchlings make their way to the sea. Encountering turtles in their natural habitat on the Southern Great Barrier Reef is an unforgettable experience, showcasing the beauty and fragility of marine ecosystems.
