Turtle Bay Resort Turtle Kayaking Cove

Great place to visit. I was not in the resort but visited the local beach. Was a great experience. Some of the sea life wasn’t camera shy!! Great place to visit!!

Great place for snorkeling 🤿. Got to see an actual turtle up close amongst all the variety of fish!

Nice area, quite, wind, lack of shades by tree.

Nice place to go and swim. If you’re lucky you’ll get to swim with some turtles

My wife and I have ridden on all four main islands of Hawaii and our favorite ride is along the coast that we experience at Turtle Bay. It is such a relaxing ride along the coast as the waves crash along the shore and the breeze off the ocean keeps us cool. The staff has always chosen the perfect temperament horses for us and after our ride, my legs aren't killing me like it had on other rides. This is our go to place to ride when we are on Oahu!

This place is absolutely horrible. It was a waste of my time and gas to drive all the way out there. I made a reservation online for 6 people and 6 balls to rent. I wrote in the time that I wanted to start which was 1230 pm. I show up at 1230 exactly and go to check in at the outpost Hut. The 2 guys inside the Hut tell me they didn't see my reservation and they rented out all their balls to a group that just came in..... So...we had to WAIT until the group was finished to get the balls to play.... On top of that, I paid $10 per person to play, and the guy in the hut tells me there's only 6 or 7 holes available since they use the course to pop fireworks off of. New years was about a week ago!! You're telling me, you're too lazy to put back the holes for a whole week?! Cmon man..... Then, I ask for a cart to put all our stuff in and he tells me that they don't rent out carts but that I could get one at the golf hut. So my mom walks all the way over to the golf hut for them to tell her that they don't rent out golf carts for soccer golf......?! So then after all of this, the guy in the outpost hut tells me he will refund me the balls we rented as a way to make up the unfinished course and the time we had to wait for the balls to come back. That was nice of them.....except for the fact that he didn't do it!!! He was straight up lying. Bc i kept checking my account and I didn't see no refund pending from them.... So I waited 2-3 days then I finally call them back checking up on the refund. Explain the whole thing and I'm pretty sure the guy who answered the phone was the same guy who told me he would refund it to me the day of my reservation! So he puts me on hold and tells me that a manager has to be the one to refund me. So why did that guy in the outpost hut tell me he was refunding me if he really wasn't?!?! To top it all off, the course looks like crap. And they don't even have a score card to give you. Good thing I took a picture of their somewhat course layout so I knew where the heck I was going. The course is literally just grass that is so overgrown and bumpy that you cannot even call it foot golf. Save yourself time and don't go here.

TONS of fun to be had. The tour was great, our tour guide was funny and by the end my legs felt like spaghetti. It was scary at first, but after some great coaching, it was FUN FUN FUN! Beautiful scenery in the Turtle Bay Area and it doesn't hurt that it's 10 minutes down the street from Giovanni's Shrimp Truck!! Win win! Great price via Groupon and it was the perfect outing for me and my friend who flew in from Colorado

Did the Segway tour w/the family and had a great time. Glad we did it. Our tour guide Jake was cool and gave us some good Hawaiian history. And Turtle Bay is a must see. It's gorgeous.

Cody was the perfect tour guide. He explained how to ride the Segway, gave us time to practice and when we were all comfortable we started the tour. He had good Hawaiian knowledge throughout the entire tour. Cody and the entire staff were fabulous I would highly recommend doing an adventure through their company.

On my bucket/todo/resolution list of 2014, one of the things I had to do this year was to do more touristy nature things. So here we were, one with nature, my family and I, exploring the backroads of Turtle Bay; being one with the aina. Enjoying the turtles and birds of the North Shore. On a segway, just like the Hawaiians of old. And when I say old, I mean like, you know, last year. I seen Bruddah on da Segway, yelling chi-hoo!! Dis buggah is da bomb! Eh Keep da Country Country Cuz! The Segway tour combines two great aspects, the Segway and the tour of the back country of Turtle Bay. Both of which Im sure 99% of the population have never experienced. Who has ever seen Kahuku Point, the northern most point in Hawaii? Not you! Garrens you nevah! Oops sorry, pidgin slip. You start off at a shack next to the tennis courts at Turtle Bay. The tour guide was going to be a little late, so they told us we could go play tennis. Fun! Except it was 96 degrees in the shade! We only lasted about 2o minutes or so. But after the guide got there, we were off to the Segways for a short introduction and lesson. It literally takes 30 seconds to figure out how to ride it. Then off you go on the tour. The Segways had offroad tires, so it was able to traverse sand and back road. The top speed was probably about 15 mph or so, which was not bad. On the tour you see old World War II bunkers and equipment. Pretty cool! You also see wild life and some camping spots, that are pretty much only for locals. Very cool beaches. You also go through the golf course a bit. There are several places for some great pictures, and the hour goes by pretty quick. All in all this was the funnest thing we've done in a while. It is a tad expensive, but I think for the fun you have it's really worth it, and they do have a small kamaaina discount as well. You too will be yelling ChiHoo like the Hawaiians of old!

DO NOT RENT SCOOTERS. I've rented many scooters before and rented a scooter here, that was broken. It puttered and wouldn't go the legal speed required on local roads. Cars were honking and added nothing but anxiety to what was supposed to be a fun ride. The two other scooters that were in my party worked fine. I verified that by testing those. When I told them about the horrible experience they told me the scooter was fine and refused to offer a refund. Horrible customer service + broken scooters putting peoples lives in danger.

What's better than a Segway tour? How about an off road Segway tour? In Hawaii? :-) Blake was our guide - very nice guy - did a good job getting everyone up and going. The off road version of the Segway feels a little different than the 'regular' Segway, but you get your SegLegs pretty quickly. It was interesting the way the wheels would spin a little in the sand (I managed to get it going wonky once in some deep sand that I wasn't supposed to go in (oops ;-) ) - a quick step off, and it settled right down and I hopped back on to continue being the troublemaker in the back of the string. We went all over the resort area - lots of cool trails. Saw a Monk seal (mom and pup picked a stretch of the beach for their hangout area - it's cordoned off to keep them safe and free from interference). My daughter got to challenge a lady in a golf cart to a drag race (she didn't take her up on it) :-) This was a blast - love to do Segway tours, and this one was top notch!!!

The Segway tour takes place on the vast property of Turtle Bay. It's a beautiful tour that teaches both the Hawaiian history and American of the area. You'll see World II landing strips and the old communication tour where the actual communication took place that we were under war at the time. Our tour guide's name was Pono and he was a great local tour guide. Having been from the area he taught us some cool Hawaiian history and legends. He shared with us how the "Shaka" came to be and how the people use to utilize the land in the Ahapuaa's. It was great. We even saw where the Monk seals and the pup at the time rested. This area is fenced off and NOAA was there protecting the animals. The tour guide let us know the importance of keeping our distance and how these animals are protected by federal and state laws. This tour is a lot of fun and the Segways are top notch and off-road in style is you are mostly off the pavement. Give them a try and you'll love it!

Bike rentals: $50 for 2 hour rental $100 a day They advertise an all stay rate but it is blacked out over holidays. Gouge much?

We found a hidden gem of bike trails AND $5/day will get you access to the bike path ALL DAY!!

A MUST DO on Oahu's North Shore...the Segway Tour with Matt Simpson aka Matt Makana hei hei hei. Matt makes it fun to learn and gain confidence on a segway. The scenery is beautiful and the roads and pathways couldn't be better to trek. Gorgeous photo ops and beaches to die for! Plus Matt gives you some great area history with some fun trivia challenges. By the end of your 90 minute tour you will be ready to go on another! Thanks Matt! We had a great time!

We rented a bike for the duration of our stay. Really helpful staff. Bikes were clean and there were always plenty available in the morning when we went. Thanks Austin for all of your help! The Turtle Bay bike trails were so much fun. We did easy paths as well and some of their more difficult courses. Heaps to explore in easy riding distance.

On the Turtle bay website it clearly states in writing the tennis balls were complimentary but when we went to play they charged us $4 for balls. He even try to sell us a can for $6! And funny too since only two of the courts was taken and two empty the guy try to make us wait till 3pm way past our check out time. It was only 830am. Then he offered 9am ugh. Why would you make people wait for no reason? Terrible service. Don't offer a free hour if you don't really want people to enjoy it. Good thing we had rackets because that will set you back another $8!

Thanks to Dylan at the Outpost for helping us set up helicopter ride, my kid surfing w Rocky and his dogs, mountain biking, horseback riding on the beach and through jungle-like trails to the famous banyan tree, tennis, golf, and snorkeling!! We had a blast!!!

On vacation with my husband and son on Oahu and went to Hele Huli for an off-road Segway tour with Taylor who was incredibly friendly and encouraging to my 13-yo son. Taylor has a ton of knowledge about the area, interesting tidbits of Hawaiian lore and fun facts about the flora and fauna. I was watching Taylor interact with my boy and I kept thinking "I hope my boy is as sweet a guy in 10 years" THAT'S how much I enjoyed Taylor and his energy. Highly recommend requesting Taylor! Aloha!

Awesome tour that takes you through the Turtle Bay property along the shoreline and to Kahuku. Came across this tour on Groupon, called them to book for same day since my mom was in town and loves riding on Segways. Was able to book a tour for that afternoon! My mom, husband and I and made our way out to North Shore from town and we loved it! Our guide, Eric (I think..bad memory), was knowledgeable, funny and entertaining. We saw honu, albatross, mongoose and even a monk seal on our way out. Our group was the 3 of us, plus another couple, so I loved the small size. The first time I did a segway tour was in Chicago, and the group was at least 10 ppl! I recommend taking a Segway tour here vs. in Waikiki where you are dodging people everywhere. Do it!

My Brother-in-law recommended doing this Segway tour and it was phenomenal to say the least. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable in the history of the Hawaii Islands / the Turtle Beach area as well as very knowledgeable on operating the Segways. My wife and I have never been on Segways before and were amazed at how easy the were to learn to ride, we were very thankful for the learning session before hand and that we weren't expected to know how to operate them at all for the tour. The adventure took us through the coast line and woods of the Turtle Beach (North Shore) area. To very secluded parts of the coast that would otherwise be a very long tedious hike to have to do by foot. We were very happy that was replaced by Segways, and so much fun to do too. We were able to see so much more via the Segways than we ever would have been able to see on our own. In the words of my wife, had it not been recommended to us we probably wouldn't have chose this excursion ourselves and missed out on a lot of fun. Because of this excursion, it's now opened up our eyes to possibly doing other Segway tours in other parts of the world in the future. We highly recommend this adventure to almost anybody, especially groups with teenagers that think nothing is fun in life, our nephew (teenager) even had a blast with us on this tour. We would happily do this tour again in a heart beat!

We went on a offroad segway tour, it was awesome. We went by ourselves and went to the most northern part of the island. Devlin was awesome and let us have fun without being too preachy and really was excited to tell us about the property and all of the different bays. Really fun and didn't smell like Horse and didn't hurt you liek some of the other options. DEFINATLY do this!!

Brett was awesome!! Really nice guy and was very helpful.... I would say perhaps the best Segway Tour Guide I've ever had! Wait.. he is the only Segway tour guide i've ever had.. Oh well.. He was awesome.. This tour shows you how to drive a segway with some killer off road type of tires on the segway. He allows you to learn to drive the device for a while as well.. That was very helpful and made the whole trip more enjoyable. So here is a list of things we did.. Off road with segway's in the woods and jungle chased down some golfers on the greens followed tennis balls on the tennis court went 12 mph across the film set of Alvin the Chimpmunks (Chipwrecked) Stopped at a local blue lagoon with gorgeous shallow waters Went to the beach to go whale watching chased each other through the trees of some forest next to the golf course This is not your normal Segway tour.. I highly recommend it if you havent ever done Segway ( OFF ROADING)!!

Foot Golf! $10 each $5 ball rental. Had only 12 holes since the course was a bit muddy. Was a bit confusing since the flags were worn from the sun and a few were ripped so hard to read the number. All in all it was good fun once we figured it out. Helped that we had 4 balls but only had to pay for one. Super nice staff and beautiful location. Everyone should play takeaway once!

My fiancé and I just got done with the Segway tour with Adam. It was amazing, seriously by the end I didn't want it to end. Adam made sure we were comfortable and safe. He even took us on an off beaten path for some killer views. Totally worth every penny.

I was initially talked into this by my brother-in-law and thought that it would be lame. Turns out, this was one of our best experiences on the North Shore of Oahu! The guide was very knowledgeable and the trail along the beach was amazing! This is definitely a hidden gem within Turtle Bay.

We had Jackson as our guide he did an awesome job and the segways were super fun!!!!!

My 15 year old son & I did the Segway off-road trip today at Turtle Bay. Blake was our guide and he was excellent. Got us up to speed on the Segways in a few minutes, made sure we were steady & comfortable. You cover almost all of the East side of the property in 90 minutes. It's beautiful, in and out of trees, on paved trail, gravel, dirt and sand and the Segways did great on all the surfaces. Blake stopped every 10-15 minutes, told us about the specific locations, including the northernmost point of Oahu island, a former WW2 helicopter landing pad and a recent turtle nesting area (we stayed a safe distance back). We also saw a monk seal pup who was in and out of the water from within his fenced off area to keep him and his mom safe from the public. Included as an option when we booked it through the Turtle Bay website was to add shave ice for $4. Totally worth it. It's a small shop but they have about 25 flavors to choose from. I had Cherry and the son had Blue Hawaii and Strawberry. Both of our first shave ice experiences. Separately, the whole family (myself, son, wife & 10 yr old daughter) did the 45 minute horseback ride this morning (I'd also recommend that) and we ended up covering both sides of almost the entire Turtle Bay property in the span of a few hours.

So today my boyfriend booked a Segway tour and at first I wasn't happy! But once we met our tour guy Cole, he put my mind to rest. What an awesome experience, very informative with history about the island and some fun facts. Riding the Segway was actually very easy and smooth, I will definitely do it again. Mahalo Cole for helping us have such a great experience.

Dishonest, unhelpful and rude. While I didn't rent a scooter from Hele Huli, we purchased a used one from them when we moved to the island. I have to say it was a terrible experience. Brett, the owner, was dishonest about the condition of the scooter and when it broke down the very first day we had it he did little to help us and eventually just left us high and dry. I felt I needed to write a review so others could be warned of his shady business practices.

The Hele Huli guys are located in a small bamboo shack near the tennis pro shop on the Turtle Bay Resort property. They rent scooters and offer guided, off-road Segway tours on the vast Turtle Bay property. The trail we took is open to the public for walking year-round. However, this company is the only one that offers the use of Segways in the area. These are strange and fun things to ride. If you think you don't know what a Segway is just remember what mall cops ride: those crazy two-wheeled things they stand on. That's a Segway. Hele Huli provided very brief but totally adequate training in how to ride the Segway. It is the most intuitive-feeling machine I can think of. Riding it kind of felt like riding a hover craft that just went wherever you wanted it to go. It was lots and lots of fun! It was also fantastically easy. If I can do it, anyone can :) . The tour was pleasant: the guide was knowledgeable and friendly telling us about the scenery we were traveling through which included passing by Queen Liliuokalani's childhood bathing pool, an abandoned WWII airfield and it's associated buildings, the Turtle Bay golf course and various types of forest and beach. The tour took about 2 hours which felt short. I just didn't want it to end. If you're on Oahu around the North Shore area and looking for a fun and different thing to do I'd definitely give this a go.

My family and I rented four bikes for two hours. It was great. We could go on trails on the property and we were even allowed to go off the property to nearby areas as long as we were within the time of two hours (which we paid for). BUT when we came back to ask for a receipt, just to keep check of our purchases, we saw that they charged for a "cleaning fee" that they DID NOT mention at all. When we complained that they DID NOT mention it, they said "well tax isn't mentioned either." They should have told us before we rented the bikes and on top of that the response when we complained was unacceptable. They originally did not give a receipt so no one would have known of this hidden fee if we did not ask for a receipt. Overall that is unacceptable that there is a hidden fee that we wouldn't even have found out about unless we went back to ask for a receipt. They should have told us about it up front.

Awesome experience tonight doing what ended up being a private sunset Segway tour with Adam! We were even treated to a rare sighting of a Hawaiian monk seal along the way! This was such a fun experience on our last night here at TBR! Thanks to Adam for a wonderful experience and Shari g your wealth of knowledge with us!!!

Needs to be zero stars. Rented scooters there on 6/12 and Cameron the manager or employee or desk clerk was very rude and had zero customer service skills. This place is over priced and this guy is cocky and makes you feel uneasy with his anxious looks. YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYONE A FAVOR WITH YOUR BUSINESS. There are so many other businesses and things to do in the North Shore. I did not want to waste my last day in HA so I just went with it, but I would surely never return or give this place another dime. The assistant, I don't remember his name was very nice and was very helpful. My scooter broke down and he came right out and helped me with a replacement.

First time on a Segway and had a great time! Our tour guide, Spencer was informative and helpful! A must do to see secluded parts of Turtle Bay!

Came to Turtle Bay for the Segway tour with my niece who is going to school. Had a wonderful time on the beaches. Taylor was a fantastic guide. It was great in a small group with my wife, my niece and Taylor. We saw a lot of wildlife, and simply loved the experience.

We did the Segway tour this morning and it was a blast! We have done segways before but not off road ones and the tour guide was great. Highly recommended.

During our trip to Turtle Bay Resort, we took a Segway tour through the activity center. Jackson was the best tour guide and took us on a beautiful beach view tour. Highly recommend while staying in the North shore!!

So my family and I (6 guests) stayed at turtle bay resort in Oahu. Wow what a beautiful view and resort. With that being said we stayed in the ocean villa 5 star (as far as quality of the villa) however desk services is the worst experiences ever we arrived 2 hours after check in our villa was still not ready nor was it the villa promised. Serv desk took another hour to get us into a villa. Once we're finally in the villa the duration stay was ok. We were recommended many resort restaurants very very Mediocre for a 5 star resort don't eat at the beach restaurant was most expensive and tasted the worst. I'd recommend going to hale'wa to go eat instead Or the food trucks both are about 20 min from resort. Lastly upon check out desk service messed up on our reservation and TRIED TO DOUBLE CHARGE US an extra $3200 double check your room charges you would think they would be more helpful in figuring things out but we had to fight the desk & show confirmation that we already paid. Overall will not be returning

So the pricing is totally what you expect from a place like this, however, after about 10 minutes the mask I rented kept getting water in it. I spent extra to get a full face mask to avoid this exact problem. I went back and the gentleman at the counter who check for any rips in mask. It appeared to be fine, just not compatible with my head/face shape. He advised he too has problems with that type of mask leaking with his head shape. I asked for a partial return of any sort as I was unable to use this rental. He advised he could let me try a different mask but that's it. As we had already established, it wasn't the mask, but my incompatibility with it so it would be a waste of my time. Super disappointed he didn't care that I spent nearly $40 for absolutely nothing. Poor customer service
