Escape to a simply magical Eco Resort on Dominica
, Leatherback Sea Turtles
The largest sea turtle species.
Leatherbacks have existed since the age of dinosaurs. With their tough, rubbery skin and ability to dive up to 4,000 feet, these incredible swimmers migrate over 10,000 miles annually.
, Hawksbill Sea Turtles
Recognizable by their beak-like mouth.
Hawksbill turtles help maintain healthy marine ecosystems by feeding on sea sponges. Their stunning “tortoise shell” is both beautiful and vital to the reef's balance.
, Green Sea Turtles
Named for the greenish color of their fat.
Due to their herbivorous diet of seagrasses and algae, Green sea turtles are the largest hard-shelled turtles, found nesting and living in coastal areas worldwide.
A magical experience for all!
From witnessing a 1,000-pound Leatherback crawling ashore to seeing tiny hatchlings make their first journey to the sea, turtle season at Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa offers truly magical moments that connect you to the wonders of nature.
