Turtle Gazing and Snorkeling
The bay's biggest draw is these majestic sea creatures that often swim out to the shores with their young ones. Watch from a distance and never try to get too close, feed them, or use flash photography at night. Other endangered species such as the monk seals, humpback whales, and spinner dolphins are frequently sighted too. Grab your snorkeling gear that can be rented and dive into the warm, crystal blue waters where schools of brightly colored fish and corals await. Don't be surprised if a king-size turtle glides past you.
Dance, Music, and Culture
A short ride east of Turtle Bay will get you to the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC), recommended for those who value culture and heritage. Spread over 42 acres, this oceanside cultural theme park has played a pivotal role in preserving Polynesian crafts, arts, and culture. Enjoy hands-on activities such as learning to throw a spear correctly, paddling, and even getting basic hula hoop movements right. Come back and unwind at your vacation homes.
Traditional Feast for the Senses!
No one leaves Hawaii without experiencing its legendary luaus (traditional feasts/parties) with live music, dance, and fire-side entertainment. Turtle Bay Resort hosts the weekly Paniolo luau which honors the island's illustrious ranching and cowboy history. Roasted pig, a conch shell dinner call, and a Fire, Knife, and Drum performance make this an unforgettable affair. Enquire at your vacation rentals for tickets.
