From October to March, right in front of our hotel, you can witness the fascinating Port Hedland turtle hatching season.

The wet season itself not only brings occasional rains but also transforms the coastal landscape with lush greenery and a vibrant atmosphere, making it an excellent time to experience the region’s natural beauty in full bloom.
