Once we got on shore some people went to look for sloths and others stayed behind.\u00a0I ended up staying behind, but later some of us got an opportunity to go out with our captain\u00a0and see them a little closer.\u00a0We saw some baby\u00a0calves with some of the dolphins, but\u00a0every time we got too close they would slip under the water and swim away. We soon gave up searching for them and headed back, but that was when we got the announcement we caught our first turtle.

Once we were done we returned the sea turtle back to the ocean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
