Turtle Bay Resort is located on the North Shore of O'ahu, Island, Hawaii. This island is home to Hawaii's capitol city Honolulu, the famous Wikiki Beach, and big wave surfing on the North Shore (winter months). Your final airline destination is Honolulu International Airport (HNL). The drive from the airport/Honolulu to Turtle Bay takes about an hour. Of the two possible two routes, we recommend taking the H3 through the mountain and along the northeast coast. This route is a bit longer (~10min), but more scenic than taking the H2. If traveling during daylight, worth it. Lodging options on the North Shore are limited, which makes the North Shore unique from the rest of the island. Turtle Bay is main option. Below is the link to our wedding room block. If you have ANY issues booking, please let Gigi or I know. VBRO/AirBnB Options: Just outside of the resort (.5miles or a 10min walk) are condominiums (Kuilima Estates, east and west) along Turtle Bay's golf course. These condos are not affiliated with the resort, but you do have access to the resort's restaurants, and Turtle Bay beaches (not the pool or beach chairs). These condominiums need to be booked on VBRO or AirBnB.

Pearl Harbor National Memorial

Over 200 movies and TV shows have been filmed on this beautiful ranch, including Jurassic Park and Jumanji. We took and recommend seeing the property on the UTV Raptor Tour. This tour type enables you to see a lot of the property (including many movie sets and views) in an efficient and fun manner. Reservations Required

Kualoa Ranch

This activity is a little touresty, but the train ride through the pinapple plantation is worth it. On the train through the pinnapple plantation you will learn about the history of Hawaii, and how Dole played and still plays an integral part in its economy. I'd hit this in the morning to avoid crowds.

Dole Plantation

The town of Haleiwa is the main town on the North Shore where you will find shopping, restuarants, shaved ice, and food trucks. The drive from Turtle Bay is about 20min, but depending on traffic the trip can take 30-40min. Just remember, you are on island time so no need to rush and enjoy the scenery and smells :) Some of our favorite restuarants are: -Haleiwa Joe's https://www.haleiwajoes.com/ (Popular restaurant, see if they take reservations) -Uncle Bo's Haleiwa (good happy hour) -Mayas Tapas &amp; Wine. http://www.mayastapasandwine.com/ (Great for lunch)
