We all went to see the Tortugagranja, and were impressed with this small but clean and seemingly organized facility. I agree the pools are small, but the workers were knowledgeable and very kind if you asked them questions, they were full of information. I have a decent knowledge of Spanish and it helped, not sure if they spoke English because... more

I am in Isla Mujeres for a longstay. And one othe few things to do on this island that doesn't involve drinking or eating is the tortugranja. I was appalled at the behavior of the people who run this place and the tourists that visit it. To the farms credit, there is one area of three pools where the turtles... more

When my friend and I traveled to the Turtle Sanctuary on Tuesday, June 7th, 2009 we were horrified to see the baby turtles swimming in shallow, concrete open aquariums in the indoor area and the larger ones swimming in small above ground concrete pools in the outdoor space without guides or supervision. As a result, tourists were freely touching the... more

We really enjoyed getting to visit Tortugranja and would highly recommend it to others. I'm sad we didn't bring our camera... guess we will have to go back! :) more

This is a tiny place, but a good stop on a golf cart (or scooter) tour of Isla. They sell pet food to feed the turtles. Bring your camera! more

This little attraction is toward the southern end of the island, so you will need a mode of transportation to get there. My group went with a golf cart and a scooter x2. This is an inexpensive attraction that is actually a research operation that allows visitors. You can see different sea turtles in various stages of life. It is... more

We recently returned from Isla Mujeres, and this was definitely one of the highlights. We stayed in a condo on the island, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! We rented a golf cart for the entire time we were there, and the Turtle Farm was a great way to spend a bit of time. The facility itself is... more

Kids loved it. They got to handle babies only a couple of days old. It was off season, so we got a personalized guided tour. Ask when the releases are. We got to be involved with a release of thousands of baby turtles at Playa Media Luna. (north end of island). It was a great experience. more

Don't expect a big attraction this is a working breeding station. However it is well worth the trip and admission is only a couple of dollars. You can buy a bag of food as well for a dollar. When we visited they were lifting the adults out of the sea pen into some holding tanks as Ike was threating to... more
