The Hawaiian Honu – Symbol of Wisdom and Good Luck. ... The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle is the only indigenous reptile found in Hawaii, but for Hawaiians, the Honu is a symbol of good luck in the form of a guardian spirit, or Amakua. The Honu pattern is depicted in ancient petroglyphs. The green sea turtle is the most common species of sea turtle in Hawaii. The green sea turtle is among the largest marine turtles. Green sea turtles have been swimming the oceans for over 200 million years and are one of the few species to have lived trough the evolution and extinction of the dinosaurs and ice ages, roaming the seas before the Hawaiian Islands even existed.
