Highlights
Enjoy a fun day out on the ocean, engaging with turtles, marine life and
nature with our ecologically conscious Swim with Turtles Tour!
Our tour begins with a 20min boat ride to Cook Island Aquatic Reserve
(Joongurra-Narrian). The reserve lies approximately 600m off the shore of
Fingal Head, NSW. It is a foraging ground to a significant number of sea
turtles. The numbers are so significant that the island was originally named
Turtle Island. It is here that we will dive in and meet these turtally awesome
locals! The surrounding waters of the reserve are also home to a wide variety
of subtropical and temperate species of fish, crustaceans, and rays – just to
name a few! Prepare to be in absolute awe of the magical underwater world that
lies here on our doorstep!
