One of the unique opportunities in Samoa is to swim with turtles at either Satoalepai Wetlands in Savaii or off Namua Island.

Satoalepai is an inland sanctuary where green turtles are raised in the part fresh-water / part salt-water wetlands. It is possible to stay overnight in the over water fales and swim with the turtles.

Latest reports were that the turtle sanctuary had fallen into a state of neglect and that the turtles appeared distressed.
