    All last week! 2 months ago

    At 2 separate locations we did this! My parents were visiting us and we were all able to swim with turtles just like last year. It never fails to be an amazing experience!

    Endangered Logerhead Turles, Zante, Greece 4 months ago

    The most surreal experience of my life!

    The greek island of Zante has several beaches that I believe are some of the last nesting grounds for this endangered tutrle, after comprehending several ‘turtle watching trips’ we went down to beach only to discover if you were patient and observant then you would see turtles swiming very close to the shore, and with a simple pair of trusty goggles one can swim but meters away from them in cyrstal clear water and experience there “amazingness”

    Very recommended!

    good luck !

    Loved it! 6 months ago

    I always do! My husband and I went swimming in a nice little enclosed area over the weekend, and as we were splashing around having fun, we saw a turtle pop up to the surface a few feet away from us. Always a glorious sight, I love watching them gracefully float in the water like an angel :D

    Our family went to the Big Island of Hawaii, where we found several opportunities to swim with sea turtles.

    Lots of gorgeous turtles swimming around with us today! I will always marvel at their effortless grace.

    Oh my goodness! 17 months ago

    The last few days that my husband and I have been going out to the ocean, we have seen a ridiculous amount of turtles! On one occasion, there were 6 turtles floating near the entrance of the water eating seaweed (limu) and we were around them in the water by default. Another time, there were 4 and I could feel their shelled bodies against my legs as I got out of the water; it was awe inspiring as always!

    Extra amazing! 18 months ago

    My parents, my husband and I all stayed at the Hilton recently, and there is this gorgeous lagoon area there where lots of turtles hang out by the waterfall. We all had a chance to go swimming there, and were surrounded by the turtles; it was crazy! They were extremely playful and kept following us all around in the water :) By default we ended up being in physical contact with the turtles since they were that close to us. It was pretty wild having a good 5 turtles encircling us!

    Good view 19 months ago

    Standing on the paddle board today gave us such a better view of the water; there were lots of sea turtles swimming right by our board!
