5 star rating Highly recommended- very informative place to visit to learn about sea turtles and the incredible conservation work taking place. The public tour is worth the extra time and fee, the guides are excellent and happy to answer questions whilst explaining how the center functions and the individual turtles on site at the time. Top tip- leave plenty of time for getting through local traffic and to park on site.

This was my first visit and I applaud the work that is being done here. I’ve posted pics on my Facebook page along with your website seeking donations toward your cause. This Center really does bring awareness to ones perception as to the troubles that are happening in our waterways and with our sea turtles. Keep up the good work.

Loved this place. It was so educational. I have always loved the sea turtle and was able to learn a lot about them. It is a nice place to take the family and it is free. However, donations are appropriated. They also have a very nice gift shop. All proceeds go to support the care of the turtles.

Our team had an amazing day at our tropical themed town hall hosted in Loggerhead Marinelife’s event space. We reflected on the goals we set earlier in the year, cast a vision for the rest of 2023, and celebrated the accomplishments of our fellow colleagues. We also took some time to give back by writing notes to members of our military and raising funds through Maui United Way for the fire and disaster relief efforts. Additionally, we enjoyed learning about Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s sea turtle patients and constructing tiki huts as a team building competition. Let's not forget about the delicious food we enjoyed from SandyJames! It was a wonderful day of team bonding and making a positive impact in our community.

5 star rating This is always our go to place for the kids when we visit from IL! They added on so much more things for kids to see and interact with and I love their gift shop! Such an awesome turtle rescue and we hope Peanut Pie gets to feeling better soon!

Very nice place to visit, free but takes donations and that is a very good deal to me. Lots to learn, even without a guide, the art piece and game inside is very fun for kids. There is lots of animals to see and the employees are all happy to answer questions about them ! Highly recommend for locals and tourists.

My daughter (16) and I did a public tour with Bob as our tour guide. We lucked out it was just the two of us, and even though it was thundering and lightning and we weren’t able to really see all the turtles, we still had an amazing tour. Bob answered a gazillion questions for us and we learned so much more than we expected. Really worth it and gave us a better appreciation for all the marked turtle nests on the beach and what was going the next morning when we got to see some baby loggerheads (we think) hatching and making their to the ocean!

Amazing experience! Up close to turtles getting care including hatchlings. Great gift shop. Able to adopt/sponsor turtles. Inside there is a fun digital reef scene you can design and then release your digital creation into the digital cove. Highly recommend!! Free entry but donations help the cause.

5 star rating Fabulous family outing ~ we love it here and bring all of our family when they come to visit. It is such a unique experience and amazing to see what they are doing for sea turtles and ocean conservation. This is a much visit!

5 star rating Such a cool experience with educated staff providing great work to our environment! The front desk was very informative and while entry is free, they do ask for a donation that we more than willing to give. Outside they have the turtles in tanks and a staff member that gives you detailed information about each one that is there. We were able to see babies only a couple weeks old to big Sandy who was an adult turtle. There was also an aquarium with sharks and fish. Inside featured a tank with jellyfish, seahorses, and lionfish. They do have a cafe and gift shop as well. We will definitely be returning!

***Get there early, it took 20 mins to find a place to park*** Excellent tour. Very informative and got to a see a sea turtle getting medical attention by their Veterinarian staff. If you get there for the early tour, you have the opportunity to watch the 1:30pm feeding.

I have adopted 2 turtles so far for my Great niece in Wisconsin and I teach her all about the great work you all do. The work you do is amazing. I can't wait for the day to bring her down to see all the great work you do.
