Sea Turtles

Sea Turtles have been around since the cretaceous period; 110 million years ago. For aeons, these incredible reptiles have been migrating epic distances across the world’s oceans. Now an endangered group, the Maldives represents one of the best places in the world to view these rare and majestic ancients. Of the seven species that comprise the Sea Turtle population, five of those species can be found in the Maldives. These are: the Green, Hawksbill, Loggerhead, Leatherback and Olive Ridley Sea turtles. Most commonly encountered species are the Hawksbills and Green turtles, which can be found on many reefs within the Maldives.
