			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Originally published on the <a href="http://www.discoverhawaiitours.com/blog">Hawaii Blog</a></p><p>In December 2011, the Obama family took a holiday <a title="Discover Hawaii Tours" href="http://www.discoverhawaiitours.com">vacation to Hawaii</a>. While visiting Sea Life Park, the Obamas (minus Michelle) pardoned four green sea turtles at Hanauma Bay, located nearby.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at three ways to experience Hawaii and discover a trio of attractions not unlike the Obama&#8217;s vacation.</p>
<div id="attachment_3052" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 710px"><img class=" wp-image-3052 " title="Green Sea Turtle" src="http://www.discoverhawaiitours.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/honu_resting.jpg" alt="Green Sea Turtle" width="700" height="467" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Green sea turtle sunbathing.</p></div>
<h2>Green Sea Turtles</h2>
<p>Sea Life Park is the only place in the entire country that raises green sea turtles in captivity. For nearly four decades, nearly 12,000 green sea turtles have been released into the wild thanks to the Sea Life Park program, which partners with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.</p>
<p>The four turtles that the Obamas released were 18 months old and tagged with unique IDs.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re taking a tour of Oahu and want to see green sea turtles, Sea Life Park may not be your best bet.</p>
<p>In fact, one of the best places to see turtles on Oahu is Laniakea Beach, a <a title="North Shore Beaches" href="http://www.discoverhawaiitours.com/travel-guide/north-shore-beaches.html">North Shore beach</a> where turtles love to hang out. If you take one of our Oahu circle island tours, there&#8217;s a chance that you&#8217;ll see one of these magnificent creatures sunbathing!</p>
<div id="attachment_3051" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 695px"><a href="http://www.discoverhawaiitours.com/travel-guide/hanauma-bay.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-3051" title="Hanauma Bay" src="http://www.discoverhawaiitours.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/hanauma-bay.jpg" alt="Hanauma Bay" width="685" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hanauma Bay</p></div>
<h2>Hanauma Bay</h2>
<p>One of Oahu&#8217;s most popular beaches is <a title="Hanauma Bay" href="http://www.discoverhawaiitours.com/travel-guide/hanauma-bay.html">Hanauma Bay</a>, where thousands of visitors come to swim, snorkel, and enjoy a day of fun in the sun. The bay is home to unique Hawaiian tropical fish and coral reefs.</p>
<p>In fact, if you go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, you might see a turtle or two swimming by!</p>
