Bora Bora Turtle Center
A sea turtle rescue centre at a resort on an eastern islet, where injured turtles are cared for and released back into the lagoon. A chance to learn about sea turtle conservation up close.
The Bora Bora Turtle Center is located at the Le Méridien resort on an eastern islet and is run by the resort in partnership with a local environmental group. It takes in green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles that have been entangled in fishing nets, injured or sick, and releases them back to the ocean once they recover. It also runs sea turtle conservation education programmes. Guests can visit the turtle pools, listen to talks and take part in adoption programmes. Non-guests generally need to go through a day pass to the resort or a select lagoon tour. Access arrangements are set by the resort.
