Luminaries of the Life Offer a Peek
Into the North Shore Lifestyle
While many travelers prefer the convenience of tour groups, guides, and buses, this can be an impersonal approach to discovering a new destination. Often those who invest the extra time and energy to explore on their own, find many more memorable experiences.
So, to help guests gain a richer and more gratifying travel experience while visiting Oahu’s fabled North Shore, Turtle Bay offers an Insider’s TOP 10 Play List: a tip sheet provided by North Shore Luminaries about their favorite ways to play along one of the world’s most storied coastlines. Insider’s Play Lists will include favorite adventures, attractions, activities, events, places to eat, beaches, surf spots and ocean outings and the authors, who live “the North Shore life” to the fullest, will range from legendary surf icons and artists to resort ambassadors and employees. Now creating your personal Play list just became a snap.
