Tropical garden and giant tortoises of the Seychelles in Les Avirons.
This unspoilt estate is above all the story of a life: that of Alfred, a passionate fan of turtles and endemic plants, who imagined and built this tropical Eden after many years of perseverance. This 6,000 m² exotic garden is home to 400 turtles, including 200 of the Seychelles' famous giant tortoises, which you can feed and get up close to alongside our animal caretakers. Soigneur d'un jour" mornings are also organized on Wednesdays (except during school vacations). A natural interlude in a very pleasant atmosphere for young and old alike.

Members' reviews on THE TURTLE GARDEN
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
La tortue alligator, la tortue à carapace molle, dans de tout petits espaces font vraiment mal au cœur.
A 9 euros l'entrée je regrette vraiment, c'est comme un zoo pour moi, rien a voir avec Kelonia sur Saint leu.
Faire le jardin des tortues en 1er vous obtiendrez une réduction pour Kelonia
Un parc qui vaux le détour !
Nous préférons milles fois aller au jardin des tortues qu'aller à Kelonya.
A faire au moins une fois dans sa vie.
Quelques tortues agressives de par leur espèce type tortue alligator sont punies et restent dans des petites boîtes minuscules en bois et plastique sans rien avoir à faire, sans rien pour se cacher.
Les tortues terrestres sont dans la terre battue sans herbe entassés avec une minuscule bassine d’eau et des parpaings comme occupation. Il est recommandé d’avoir 3m carré pour UNE petite tortue terrestre, on est clairement loin de ça ici.
Une honte, je ne comprend pas l’engouement autour de cette maltraitance animale. Privilégier Kelonia !
