Turtle Tracks

Darwin, Northern Territory

Step into the ancient cycle of life where the rhythm of the tides guides the journey. Turtle Tracks is an immersive experience to Ngulbitjik (Bare Sand Island), where Flatback and Olive Ridley turtles return under the cover of night to continue a story millions of years in the making. Arriving by fast boat as the sun sets over the Timor Sea, you’ll witness nature at its most raw and awe-inspiring. Here, the land and sea are deeply connected. With permission from the Kenbi Traditional Owners, you’ll step ashore to explore this remote island with expert guides who share their knowledge of marine life, conservation, and the island’s rich cultural and wartime history. As the moon rises and the stars emerge, anticipation builds—you can expect to see a mother turtle arriving to nest, and if you’re very lucky, you may even witness hatchlings making their first journey to the sea. More than a cruise, this is a journey with purpose. A portion of every ticket directly supports Austurtle’s vital research, ensuring the protection of NT’s Flatback turtles for generations to come.

$369 per participant. Price includes Traditional Owner permit fee for Ngulbitjik, plus a 5% contribution to Austurtle for continuing research
