New Dining and Experiences to Enjoy at Turtle Bay Resort

New dining and experiences to enjoy at the reopened Turtle Bay Resort.

In addition to new enhancements to transform the resort, Turtle Bay also reimagined its dining options and activities, offering families the chance to create lasting memories and make a difference for the North Shore community.

With five miles of coastline stretching from calm tidepools perfect for keiki to the waves of Kawela Bay and Kuilima Cove, Turtle Bay provides an array
of guided ocean activities fit for the entire ‘ohana. Nervous about catching your first wave or looking to try something new? Join the resort’s lead ocean guide, Rocky Canon, and his wave-riding dogs, Kahuna and Hina, for a one-of-a-kind surfing or standup paddleboard experience with Hawai‘i Surf Dogs.

Turtle Bay also recently partnered with a surfing champ and North Shore native to launch the Jamie O’Brien Surf Experience. People of all skill levels
can join an experienced guide to hit our legendary breaks on a surfboard, stand-up paddleboard, or a SUP Squatch (giant inflatable surfboard).

If surfing is not your style, grab a friend and hop in a kayak to explore Kawela Bay with Shaka Kayaks. See if you can spot a honu or take in the beautiful North Shore sunset from the water with a late afternoon tour.

Coming up this September, those looking for a calmer ocean experience can join North Shore Ocean Guides to explore Kawela Bay in a brand new four-man canoe, which artisans are building now on Hawai‘i Island.

“Kawela Bay is truly a special place, and this new activity will give families the unique opportunity to experience the bay in a more traditional and cultural manner,” said Rocky Canon, a professional waterman who will guide the tours.

When you’re ready for a bite to eat after a long day on the water, check out the Beach House by Roy Yamaguchi, which overlooks Kuilima Cove. Chef
Roy Yamaguchi draws his inspiration from fond memories of family potlucks on the beach to deliver signature dishes like Kona Kampachi, Cabernet Beef Short Ribs, and more using the freshest ingredients from local farmers, fishers and ranchers.

If you’re ready to get your hands dirty and support a good cause, join the North Shore Community Land Trust to remove native species, plant native species, remove marine debris and more at Kalaeokauna’oa or Kahuku Point. The nonprofit holds community workdays on the second Saturday
of each month. You can learn more about these new experiences at turtlebayresort.com.
