Surfer, Hawaii

Oahu

Home to Honolulu, the capital of the Hawaiian Islands, as well as an array of palm-backed beaches and sites of great historical significance, Oahu is arguably the most culturally diverse island in the archipelago.

From laid-back coastal towns to vibrant neighbourhoods, visitors to Oahu can expect varied days that may begin with a surf lesson in Haleiwa (known as the surf capital of the world) and end with sipping a Blue Hawaii (the island’s signature cocktail) on Waikiki Beach.

Turtle Bay Resort

The Turtle Bay Resort is a truly unique Oahu experience, located on the north coast away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. Sat on its own peninsula, the resort boasts incredible panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. The north coast of Oahu is an excellent location for outdoor activities. As you would expect from an oceanfront resort there are endless water sports on option, snorkelling, diving, surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking or even getting offshore to swim with dolphins and other marine life. There is plenty to explore in the interior of the island with helicopter tours, hiking trails, mountain biking and horse riding.

I was inspired to travel south from an early age. My form teacher when I was nine made us listen to tapes from Shackleton’s expeditions, I didn’t know it at the time, but it obviously left a deep impression on my psyche.
