The green turtle is a gentle grazer of seagrass beds and one of the most beloved animals of our shallow reefs.
How to recognize it
Larger and rounder than the hawksbill, with a blunt, rounded head and a smooth, olive shell.
Where and when to see it

Dive with respect
We practice good buoyancy and never touch or chase marine life. Watching an animal behave naturally is the whole point, and it keeps the reef of Isla Fuerte alive for the next diver.
