Turtles from beach or catamaran?

It depends on what you want to spend your money on...

 

A short booze cruise is generally 3 hours, runs about $40 pp and will take you to feed turtles and maybe see the shipwrecks in Carlisle Bay.

 

A 5 hour cruise will run you $80-$100 pp and you'll get a yummy lunch out of the deal, plus the wrecks and turtles and some free time to swim in the ocean (either Batts Rock, Paynes Bay or Carlisle).

 

The advantage of a cat cruise is that the crew are in the water with you and they bring along bait to attract the turtles.

 

If you swim from shore, look for where the cat's are gathered and you can see the turtles also. If there are no cat's, there's a chance that the turtles have taken off and you may or may not see any...

 

If you're like me and REALLY enjoy your rum and beer, the $100 special is the way to go, IMO.

 

If you're on a budget or just want to save some cash, do the taxi thing. Generally, the mornings are the best time to see turtles - try and get there before 9 or 10.

 

Cheers, P:)
