Tavares Turtles | Hawaiian Honu Photography, Maui
What Makes This Photo So Special?
Tavares is one of those spots the turtles just love — calm water, good reef, and honu stacked up like it's their favorite restaurant. I slipped in and found myself surrounded: turtles cruising, turtles resting, turtles completely ignoring me. I shot until my fingers went numb.
Some reefs have a turtle or two. Tavares has a crowd — and catching multiple honu in one frame, all calm and unbothered, shows you what a healthy Maui reef looks like when the turtles feel at home.
The Gathering: Multiple honu in one frame — the reef's social scene, turtle edition.
The Calm: Nobody's fleeing; these turtles own this spot and they know it.
The Water: That clear Maui blue that makes every turtle look like it's flying.
Bring this turtle gathering home — it's the reef at its happiest, and happiness is contagious.
