A tortoise is neither an amphibian nor an aquatic animal. It is a reptile that lives primarily on land and breathes air. Tortoises have a hard shell and are known for their slow movement.
Tortoises occupy their own taxonomic family, called testudinidae. All types of land and aquatic turtles come in a wide range of sizes, colors, and shapes. Sometimes the name "terrapin" refers to those animals that fall somewhere between a turtle and tortoise, because they live in swampy areas or begin life underwater and eventually move to dry land.Turtles may live in freshwater, the ocean, or brackish ponds and marshland. Their front feet might be fins or merely webbed toes with streamlined back feet to help them swim. Turtles have flatter backs than tortoises, and may spend all or part of their lives underwater. They mate and lay eggs underwater or on the shore. Some turtles sun themselves on logs, rocks, or sandy banks. During cold weather, they burrow in mud and go into torpor, a state similar to hibernation.

No it is a reptile you can tell this because it lives on land not in the sea but a turtle lives in the sea they are not the same animal although they are very closely related and have almost the same name. So in a nut shell no because a tortoise goes on land and a turtle goes in the sea! from AstonDB9

That is the correct spelling of tortoise (land turtle).
A turtle can only stay out of water for a short amount of time, a tortoise can stay out of water for a long time depending on how sensitive their skin is.
