Tortoise Sanctuary

“Nature and quite place to enjoy your mind and relax from crowded activities in the town. Small island with nature turtles around and you can see many type of fish . Just take 25 menit rude a boat from Marina South Pier .”

“I find it hard to imagine a scenario where someone would visit Kuzu Island but not visit the Tortoise Sanctuary. First of all, the island is not that big. Secondly, there is not that much else to see. But most importantly, thirdly, this is, after all, Kuzu (Tortoise) Island. The enclosure is not all that large but is packed with tortoises. If I were to make a small complaint, I wish there was some kind of sign explaining the history of the sanctuary or something about the zoology of tortoises. Interestingly, other attractions on the island seem to be well signed and explained. I had to deduct one point for lack of signage. Sailor Sinay says: There is a secondary tortoise pond inside the compounds of the Chinese Daoist Temple where you can get a closer view of the tortoises and there is a sign with the explanation of the tortoise legend that guides this island at the pier area.”

“Hundreds of small tortoises eagerly nibbled the corn that was fed to them. It was fascinating to watch them crawl over each other, all competing to reach the food.”

“Very small island, not much to do other than seeing tortoise and one temple. Good to come with kids.”
