Introduction Known as the "Turtle Island," Aldabra is home to countless sea turtles, some of which can grow up to 2 meters in length and weigh over 200 kilograms. Locals call them giant tortoises, and you can actually ride on their backs like you would an elephant. But unlike elephants, these turtles aren’t quite so obedient—they often pull their heads back into their shells, making it no easy feat to get them to carry you even for a short stretch.
