About North Shore Villas
First thoughts of Oahu's North Shore bring world-class surfing to mind but the top-notch facets continue with spectacular seascapes, rich heritage and culture on display (both to view and interactive). From one of our
North Shore luxury rentals you can also experience challenging golf, indulgent spa treatments, adventure and art galleries.
Things To Do
Take a peek behind the veil of incredible surfing to experience and/or watch and find fanciful and memorable experiences, depending on your interests. The North Shore offers a balanced contrast of outdoor activities (kayaking, rock climbing, and hang gliding) for thrill-seeking enthusiasts, some stunning ways to see the island. Immerse yourself in the culture and Hawaiian heritage through activities at the Polynesian Cultural Center, including fire walking, spear throwing, fire pit cooking, wood & tiki carving and so many other experiences you can only find here. Check out the Dole Plantation for a leisurely day trip and refreshing Dole whip treat. Visit Haleiwa town to check out the art galleries and a chance to talk with local artists.
Visit the resort area of Kahuku for golf or Waimea Valley for guided moon walks under the stars. Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay, the Banzai Pipeline and Pupukea are a handful of the beaches that line the North Shore and provide a playground for adults to enjoy gourmet picnics and a free show of expert surfers.
Eat And Shop
Dining on the North Shore is an experience in that you'll find plenty of local eateries and upscale restaurants as well, with access to multiple towns from which to select. From fish and chips to Kalua pig, the food on the North Shore is hearty, creative with an island twist and fun to eat. Make sure to have a different mixed plate every day for lunch and eat from the shrimp trucks too. Top it off with a tropical shave ice. Groceries and open markets are available to buy ingredients for a romantic night of gourmet dining at your
North Shore luxury rental. You're on vacation, so eat the Portuguese confections, malasadas (also available roadside), from the local bakeries.
Haleiwa and the North Shore area has a diverse share of apparel and sports gear shops. You'll meet some passionate local shopkeepers and art gallery owners who know their area well and willingly share tidbits of their stories and of the area.
Getting Around
TheBus is available throughout Oahu, but it's wise to get a rental car so that you can get to area beaches and elsewhere on the North Shore
