Whether it’s a private romantic getaway or a memorable family vacation, Oahu’s North Shore, Turtle Bay offers a unique Hawaiian experience that can’t be found elsewhere on the island. Although it shares Oahu with Waikiki beach, the North Shore couldn’t be more different. North Shore offers a private oasis, with only one hotel and none of the crowds of Honolulu.

The Turtle Bay Resort sits alone on the North Shore, offering 840 acres of pools, coves, tennis courts, riding paths and stables. It is isolated in its own cove at the end of the North Shore and all guest rooms offer a waterfront view. Turtle Bay guests can enjoy surfing lessons and wading pools perfect for small children. The Shark’s Cove and Turtle Bay are perfect for watching sea turtles in their natural home. Children can enjoy pony rides on the beach, while adults can ride horses. The resort offers fishing trips complete with guides, as well as tractor pulls and nature walks down the beach.
