Green sea turtle getting algae cleaned off by some herbivores. If you turn up the volume you can hear the humpback whales in the background.

Animals are simply amazing! Love watching the turtle while s/he was being cleaned. There was a look of pure ecstasy on its face. Thank you for this video.
Wow, that turtle is relaxing while being vacuum cleaned. Beautiful!
Have not seen that, but I have seen the cleaner Wrasse on the big fishes jaws, amazing.👍
Thank you sooo much Don for these beautiful videos! Love that paradise called Hawaii!
Nice turtle. Bingo
Hearing the whales talking was awesome!
Thank you for sharing this. I find cleaning stations fascinating. The trust and honor that has to pass between species is amazing. I wish there were more videos like yours, where the camera is left to record for more than a few moments.
Thanks!
2020 the TurtleCleaningStation would inculdet Coffe and hotdogs.
Fish are grooming that turtle well!
They need coffee and donuts at the cleaning station ☕🍩
Спасибо)!

Nice to swim in beach. #thatgirl bel
Che video cosa avete dimostrato fenomeni
Of love to be down there! So beautiful! Love listening to the whales,I would love to swim with Whales. Where in the world is this? X
This was at Olowalu which is just south of Lahaina, Maui (Hawaii)
This turtle is intentionally laying in the sand and resting while fish eat algae and parasites off it. It is called a cleaning station. I can't imagine why 42 people dislike the video but gather it is because some one must be claiming the turtle is in some sort of trouble?!?! The turtle is exactly where it wants to be!! Tania Cedeno L. how was I supposed to help this turtle????
Don McLeish some people just dislike videos only for the fun of it. They don't even bother reading the description much less care for how the waterworld works. Just... ignore them. Better for your health.
Don't take it personally lol. All videos have dislikes . I would dislike it because it looked like someone purposefully swayed sand in its direction.

Have you rescued this poor turtle ultimately? Please reply
There was nothing wrong with this turtle, It was resting on the seabed and letting fish clean algae and parasites off of it. I have rescued a number of turtles that have been entangled with fishing line and hooks and done so under a NOAA permit# 21260. I am not clear on why some people think there is something wrong with the turtle?!?
ช่วยเหลือไม่ได้ใช่ไหมคับ
this means how why is it only taking the video but there is no explanation
sorry but I do not understand your comment
Why do some turtles have lots of barnacles on them? Is it because of the lack of cleaning stations?
I have only seen a few turtles here on Maui with barnacles and assumed they picked them up while transiting in open ocean. I don't think the fish can take a reasonable sized barnacle but perhaps they can get the little ones that have just recruited. In other areas, I don't know if cleaning stations have fish that will address barnacles or not.
I just thought the less algae their shells have, the less likely barnacles would attach themselves to it :-)
I would guess that a cleaner carapace would be more likely to host barnacles.

turtle: uh... i need you guys to clean me up fish: okay just take some nap while we clean your shell turtle: how I can pay you guys for this? fish: um... take it easy buddy just take the rest to us... turtle: thanks buddy I owe you one...

Why show this , turtle with a band around his neck . did you go down there just to see turtle have strangle hold …..
Are you serious with this question? Are you watching the video on a screen where you can actually see what is happening?
The white line you can see under the neck might be scar tissue from fishing line but there no apparent entanglement issue or problem. I have seen turtles with flipper and neck marks like that months after the line had been removed. If there was any evidence of a hook of fishing line entanglement, rest assured I would not have ignored the problem.
This is great, where is this?
Olowalu cleaning station on West Maui, Hawaii.
Thank you. I can only dream of going somewhere so beautiful.
