Turtles are most often found in the shallow, sandy areas where they graze on lush sea grass. For the best visibility, go in the early morning before the winds pick up and stir the sediment. <br />• Sea turtles are a threatened species and are strictly protected by state and federal law. To ensure they stay safe (and you avoid fines up to $1,500+) always stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from turtles, whether in the water or on the sand. Never touch, feed, or chase a turtle. If one swims toward you, stay still and let it pass.<br />• Always use Reef-Safe Sunscreen. Traditional sunscreens contain chemicals that bleach and kill the delicate coral reef. <br />• Safety First: Stay within the reef, in the protected shallow areas. And never snorkel alone, always have a buddy and keep an eye on each other. <br /><br />Note: host requires all guests, whether they book directly or via a third party website, to complete a rental agreement within 3 days of booking. <br /><br />Hawaii Vacation Rental Registration Number: TA-200-978-5856-01<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />540050180095, TA-200-978-5856-01
