A Honu – or Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle – swims in the shallow waters of the Pacific Ocean near the Hilton Waikoloa Resort. We swam and snorkeled with several Honu during our latest visit to the Big Island of Hawaii. Honu is sometimes referred to as the second most beloved word in the Hawaiian language (first being Aloha), and after observing these majestic creatures on several visits to the Islands, it is easy to see why that’s the case.
