Living on the coast of Hawaii or any coast for that matter, people often find their way to the waters for a fun time. However, invading the habitat of a sea animal often ends with being attacked, or injured. Only in rare cases do the victims of such attacks survive. However, in the rarest of rare cases, people come out unscathed from these encounters.

One such rare encounter was recently caught on camera. It was when a family was having the time of their life in Hawaiian waters, unaware that they were being watched by a sea animal. The animal in question here was a giant sea turtle. The incident was recorded by a faraway onlooker. The most surprising fact about the entire situation was that the family remained unaware till the end.

As funny as it may sound, a giant turtle recently crashed a family party in the waters. However, the family was so engrossed at that moment that they failed to notice the new arrival. The incident occurred in Hawaii around 1st February. It went viral on the internet when it was recorded by a TikTok user from her balcony and shared on the platform.

According to the eyewitness, the family was completely unaware of the presence of the sea animal. Describing the situation, eyewitness Indy Clinton wrote, “They had no idea. The water is really cloudy when you’re in it, so they wouldn’t [have] been able to see it.”

The giant sea turtle is suspected to be a 300-pounds. Despite its massive size, neither did the family notice it when it approached them, nor did they notice when it passed by them.

As per the laws in Hawaii, no individual is allowed to get within the 10 ft. radius of a sea turtle and be a hindrance. However, in this case, it was the turtle that approached the humans. Therefore, the family will face no repercussions according to the law.
