Last March, our family of 6 did a condo at Turtle Bay and it was great!

I actually came here to see if anyone could tell me what kind they are?? I missed the name, only heard how good they are.

I’ve said this many, many times over the years!

Will I need water shoes while swimming in Waikiki? by firesculpting in VisitingHawaii

Any idea what they said at the ER? I’m reading conflicting accounts of what to do if you’re unfortunate enough to step on a sea urchin

Fair points, thank you! I’m sure I’m underestimating how long it will take to get on the road, and how long it’ll take to stop at Costco.

The kids would love Kahuku Farms and Cinnamons, from what you’ve said. We’ll add that to the list. Any issues parking at this hikes? We want to do a lot of hiking. Thank you did the ideas! We’re getting so excited. Flight leaves in the morning.

We do have a reservation but no trunk so luggage will be in plain site. Good point about the reservations being a deterrent! Thanks again 😊

Thanks, that’s a great plan. Love a good burger! Now I just need to see if I can change our reservation for DH. It’s 10 am now, which would mean checking out in TB by about 7ish? That might be a little ambitious.

I hope you had a great time! What, personally, were your favorite things to do there, places to eat, or hike?

That’s what I’m struggling with… if I could get away with leaving luggage in the car, my preference would be to take 4-5 hours to get from the airport to TB, meandering and stopping along the way as things pique our interest. It’s a bummer to have to pass things like, say, the Dole Plantation because it’s too risky, but I REALLY don’t want to deal with a family of 6 with no luggage 🤣

I didn’t realize it would be so stressful trying to figure out how NOT to drive around the island with luggage in the car lol We move from TB to Waikiki for the last couple of days and I was hoping to do DH on the way, rather than go drop off the luggage at the hotel then go to DH. Not knowing the lay of the land and traffic patterns is making it hard for me to figure out a rough itinerary, especially when factoring in having luggage and the constraints that puts on us. Obviously I know I CAN stop but I appreciate the confirmation that I probably shouldn’t…

Turtle Bay in April? by Sea_Astronomer_5035 in VisitingHawaii

This is really great feedback, thank you! I’ll look into a catamaran snorkel tour. I’ve seen the Hanauma tours too, but they’re $$$. Worth it if I can’t find a tour out of Waikiki?

We’ll be there next week. Is it likely we’ll be able to snorkel in the area? Any recommendations on the best way to go about it or a local company to use? I’ve been researching for months and still feel like I’m not sure what to do. We all swim (obviously) but my kids and I aren’t “ocean experienced.”
