Swimming With Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle)

After getting to see several Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles on our honeymoon we were delighted to actually get the chance to swim side-by-side by one.

We actually found this turtle (presumably the same one) three consecutive days. The first time, I was snorkeling and suddenly was face to face with the turtle (and camera-less!).

Then the next day we found her again and took a ton of photos. And then on the day before we had to depart the Big Island, Stacia found the turtle once more. The turtle swam underneath her!

It was an incredible experience and capped off an unbelievable trip of a lifetime!!
