Ocean Villa 217 is your home base for adventure on Oahu.

Visit Hale’iwa Town

Rich with island history, Haleʻiwa is the social and artistic hub of the North Shore. The town’s architecture reflects its early 1900’s sugar industry period and is home to 30 historical buildings; including the Wailua Sugar Mill. Now it’s known primarily as a surfing town and is an excellent place to visit for shopping and a variety of dining options.

Golfing

From Golf Digest to the Champions Tour to the LPGA Tour to the Hawaii State Open to Golf Channel’s The Big Break, Turtle Bay’s golf courses are world renowned.

Surf Lessons

Though there are many surf schools on the island, we cannot recommend Hawaii Waves Surf School highly enough. Locally owned and operated, they will teach you how to surf no matter your skill level.

Ziplining

Climb Works Ziplining offers ziplines, sky bridges, and ATV rides around Keana Farms. Along the way of your zipline tour you’ll learn about Hawaii history, culture, and farming with educational exhibits set up along the tour.

Helicopter Tours

Fly over O'ahu's carved ridges and fabled coastlines by air with Paradise Helicopters. Flying directly out of Turtle Bay, these tours cover culturally and historically significant sites, extraordinarily beautiful knife-edge mountain formations, lush jungle-covered valleys, glowing white beaches, and impressive architecture.

Stand-Up Paddle Boarding

Surf N Sea rents stand-up paddle boards to explore the Anahulu Stream in Hale’iwa. The Anahulu Stream, where you can often spot turtles hanging out, is a great paddle for beginners or when ocean and wind conditions are not optimal. When the waves are big in the winter on the North Shore, you can even try your hand at SUP surfing.

Hiking

With trails all over the island, you have a range of hikes to experience, from high mountain tops to rain forests. There is a trail for everyone.
