Oahu Views – Sea Turtle

On our way to look for the Lost survivors camp north of the Hale’iwa Beach Park, it was such a treat to find this turtle napping and sun bathing.  If you encounter a turtle in Hawaii, be sure and do not approach them or touch them.  Just stay back several feet to admire them.

  • Luckily, they're not aggressive, but if one should attack, you'd only have about 5 hours, to make your escape. ;-)

  • Very Funny Andy! The turtles have such stringent laws protecting them, you cannot even approach, touch or handle dead ones. There's a hotline to call if you see any dead ones, which you do on frequent occasion, especially because they are a delicacy for sharks! Although eating turtle has been banned for several years, I hear it tastes like chicken... some even say like beef.
