Huge Turtle Surprises Boaties to Say Hello

This big, beautiful leatherback turtle couldn’t resist saying hello to a group of boaties out on the water in Mangawhai Heads, near Auckland, in New Zealand’s North Island.

Pippa told Storyful: “I didn’t even know that turtles visited NZ waters, so was totally amazed!”
