    We booked the group horseback riding... and had a fantastic time. The horses were well cared for, and well trained, even to my partner who has only ridden twice. I've ridden for over 20 years and was impressed with the horses, the facility, and the guides. Totally recommend this!

    The surf experience was great - we took lessons at the Jamie O’Brien Surf Experience and spent hours watching surfers from the rocks near the pool. Special thanks to both Will and Noah at the surf shop. We were there for my 40th birthday and these two had my husband surfing like a pro and me actually surfing. Awesome dudes!

    Beautiful property - I highly recommend The Stables and the sunset horseback ride. Our guide Alex was very kind, fun and educational... These beautiful horses are well cared for and the perfect way to see more of the property along the water. Amazing photo opportunities.

    If you have kids between the ages 7-17, Jr Waterman Adventure with Rocky at Turtle Bay Resort is a must. He is not only an expert in surfing, paddle boarding and everything Hawaii but also is an engaging and caring educator who encourages kids to get out of their comfort zone to try new adventures. It was the highlight of our daughter’s Hawaii trip.

    We had an amazing family vacation here for one week. We stayed in a beautiful ocean bungalow. We swam and explored all the different beaches at the resort. Kuilima Cove (right by hotel) is sandy, swimmable and has great snorkeling. We biked to the beautiful and secluded Kawela Bay, swam, and saw the famous Banyan tree and pillbox. Highlight of the trip was Surf with Pup - all three kids learned to surf with Rocky and his pup.

    I booked a few excursions through the resort (Shaka Kayaks, lei-making) and highly recommend. Compared to other resorts I've stayed at that offer activities with hotel pickups, I really liked how all the activities started and finished AT the resort. There were many more activities than I had time for!
