Did you know? The leatherback sea turtle is the largest turtle in the world. They are the only species of sea turtle that lack scales and a hard shell. They are named for their tough rubbery skin and have existed in their current form since the age of the dinosaurs. Leatherbacks are highly migratory, some swimming over 10,000 miles a year between nesting and foraging grounds. They are also accomplished divers with the deepest recorded dive reaching nearly 4,000 feet—deeper than most marine mamma

Another rare sighting! We had a leatherback sea turtle swim up to us the other day. They are critically endangered and massive in size. This one was easily 6 feet in length. It would not get very close and disappeared right after this video. Phone cameras never do size justice. This thing was huge! What a cool experience and amazing moment to witness. Getting to see these endangered animals in their natural habitat is so special to me. They may never been seen again, especially by my eyes. Just

This work has continued in MA, NC, and FL, leading to discoveries on their biology, migratory patterns, and human-interaction. #NOAA scientist

A leatherback turtle casually swam up and bumped our kayak like it was no big deal… and we’re still not over it. Moments like this are why we do what we do—quiet paddles, wild encounters, and nature showing up in the most unforgettable ways. Fun fact: Leatherbacks are the largest sea turtles on Earth and can dive over 3,000 feet deep—deeper than most submarines. 🤯 No chasing. No touching. Just pure magic on the water.#getupandgokayaking #jupiterflorida #palmbeachcounty #visitflorida #leatherbac
