Your Guide to Activities on Oahu!

Ocean Villas pool and jacuzzi. Great for relaxing in the warm sun under the sway of the palm trees!

There are 5 miles of beaches and beach trails for hiking, biking, swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding, and surfing.  Walk past the hotel and past the cottages down to the point and then onto the beach beyond that – I’ve seen a turtle in the water there almost every time I’ve gone!

The 2 Golf Courses on the resort are amazing! The George Fazio and the Arnold Palmer both have ocean views and are PGA and LPGA courses with tournaments going on all the time!  You can rent clubs and schedule your tee time through the concierge at the Turtle Bay Resort Hotel by calling (808) 293-6000.

I think the best horseback ride is the private tour at the Turtle Bay Resort.  It takes you through the undeveloped area of the resort, past a WWII bunker and right onto the sandy beach, where you can see sea turtles and watch the waves!  Reserve through concierge at (808) 293-6000.

Oahu's longest ocean view zipline on the North Shore! The North Shore Zipline by CLIMB Works Keana Farms is a three-hour guided zipline tour that includes Oahu's longest ziplines ranging from 500 feet to nearly half a mile long.

Horseback riding, off-road, and eco-tours!

We think the most beautiful part of the island is the valley in Kualoa Ranch. You can only see it if you take one of the tours the ranch offers and you will want to book this in advance since they sell out fast! They filmed the TV show Lost there, as well as 30 or so movies as well!

Call for reservations at (808) 237-7321 or (800) 231-7321 

The Polynesian Cultural Center is really unique! It is set up as villages with waterways between them, one village for each of the different Polynesian cultures in the Pacific and each has different luaus/shows, food and shops. It is an all day event! For reservations call: (808) 293-3333 or (800) 367-7060 or click the link below.

Waimea Falls Park is about a 10 to 15 minute drive from the villa. There is a small entry fee and they give a little hiking map and you can walk along trails of partially manicured and partially wildflowers and trees to Waimea Falls – the walk is really beautiful, but it is more of a stroll then a hike.  You can choose to take the paved paths along the manicured gardens or the trails through the natural growth.  Their phone is: (808) 638-8511, but you do not need reservations.

Doug Deal’s Surfing School offers private surfe lessons on the North Shore. Doug is a licensed surf instructor who has been teaching for over 25 years.

The Macadamia Nut Tour has been recommended to us by several of our guests who have said it is entertaining and located in a beautiful part of the island. It is a family-owned tropical fruit and nut farm not too far from the villas. Call 808-237-1960 or click the link below for more information!

Of course don’t forget the famous North Shore Beaches: Pipeline, Sunset and Waimea Beach Park. They have huge waves in the winter and it’s fun to watch the surfing competitions and in the summer they are almost as flat as a lake and are great for swimming!

The Nu'uana Pali lookout in the Hawaiian archipelago is just one of the unique geological features the island has to offer! It is a great picutre spot at the top of Honolulu's ahupua'a - it gets pretty windy up there but it is a gorgeous view!
