Treasure Island offers chance to name your own turtle
Fiji’s Treasure Island Resort is once again offering its guests the opportunity to do their bit for the environment by helping to protect one of the Resorts more unusual inhabitants, its resident Hawksbill Turtles.
With 40 one-year-old Hawksbills due for tagging and release from 01 January 2007, guests staying at the Resort will be offered the opportunity to give a donation to sponsor a turtle by shelling out to have their name featured on the special tags, with funds going towards building a new turtle enclosure as the program continues to expand.
The resort this week announced the safe arrival of 140 Hawksbill hatchlings, with another 400 due to emerge at any moment.
Treasure Island Resort’s younger guests are actively encouraged to take hands on roles in the Resort’s Hawksbill Turtle hatchling program from harvesting the hatchlings as they emerge from beachside nesting areas to feeding, moving and finally releasing the one-year-olds.
The resort’s environmentally oriented Kids Club program also allows the kids to discover several of the island’s other unusual animal species , including the endangered Fiji Crested Iguanas and flightless Banded Rails, distant cousins of the Kiwi bird.
A five-night family stay at Treasure Island Resort, which includes ocean view bure accommodation, daily breakfast, morning and afternoon tea and dinner, and all children’s meals, starts from $1650* based on two adults sharing with two children under 12 years of age and is valid for travel from 14 November to 15 December 2006 and from 11 January to 31 March 2007.
Please note price does not include international airfares.
*Conditions apply.

The five-night family offer can only be booked in Australia.
