Beautiful sea turtles. Did you know that they were around before the dinosaurs?

These incredible creatures are one of our favourites to witness on our trips. Steady and graceful, they’re a reminder to take time to enjoy the moment. Especially when the moment involves an amazing wildlife encounter.

Best places to see sea turtles:

1. Whitsunday Islands
Located on the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsundays strong biodiversity includes 6 different species of turtle.

2. The Galápagos Islands
Iconic for their wildlife, the Galápagos Islands are home to the famous Giant Tortoises, as well as a high population of sea turtles.

3. Tahiti
The tropical paradise is a dream for sea turtles. Bright coral reefs are the perfect home, and turtles are considered sacred in French Polynesia.

4. Japan
In the warmer months, many sea turtles travel to Japan to breed. The Japanese summer is the perfect time to explore the beautiful waters.
