Families visiting the resort can experience the true essence of Hawaii with beachfront horse and pony rides, surf lessons, a 'surfing with dogs' experience (yes, you read that right), canoe tours, scavenger hunts and more.

As the only major resort on Oahu's North Shore, it'd be easy for Turtle Bay to leave good enough alone. Instead, they opted to completely reimagine the 1,300-acre resort, from all 410 guest rooms to the food and beverage concepts, to the swimming pools and landscaping.

The resort's commitment to environmental sustainability is palpable - meals are prep with leaf greens, beets and other crops from the resort's own Kuilima Farm.

The Ocean Club Lounge was my favorite part of our stay. The lounge itself was beautiful. The food was incredible. The staff was next level (shout out to Emily - she is a gem and kept the wine flowing at Happy Hour).

Our days were spent at the resort's beach, which is clean and well-kept... You are likely able to spot a sea turtle or two right in the bay as you snorkel. The water is crystal clear, warm, and calm. Other days were spent at the adult infinity pool overlooking the bay side watching the sunset, and surfers.

I couldn’t love Turtle Bay more! The location and property are stunning. I did all the walking trails, saw a baby monk seal nursing (from a distance) and enjoyed snorkeling from the beach.

This resort is wonderful, with probably the best beach I’ve ever been to. The surrounding area has huge, gorgeous waves; but there is a protected cove with a beautiful beach and perfect, clear water to swim and snorkel in. The snorkeling was actually quite good. We saw lots of colorful tropical fish...

This place was a dream for our family - it had everything we could have wanted for our kids, 4 and 6, who swam and played on the water slides, surfed, and enjoyed the beach.

This is an awesome beach with a host of wildlife (fish, seal, turtles) has a swimming area that is reef protected. The resort area is beautiful and clean, and the staff is friendly.
