Swimming with Blue Lagon Turtles

Swimming with turtles at the blue lagoon. Okay, I’m going to be completely honest, I didn’t see a single turtle, and it’s possible you may not either. However, turtles enter the lagoon. Don’t worry if you don’t swim with turtles, there’s plenty of fish to snorkel with!

That reminds me.
