Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the iconic Turtle Bay Resort is the ideal destination for a summer getaway with 1,300 acres of beaches, gardens, and still-wild public spaces.

In time for summer travel, the resort is launching new immersive experiences at the on-site Kuilima Farm, in partnership with Pono Pacific. This season, guests will be able to tour the farm to learn about the history of the area, taste a variety of items straight from the ground, vines and trees and pick their own or visit the farm stand to bring back items to enjoy as well. For families looking to immerse themselves in the island’s culture, the resort has launched a Paniolo Pā'ina dinner series paying homage to Hawaii’s cowboy culture. The weekly Pā'ina dinners celebrate Hawaii’s rich ranching and cowboy heritage – complete with a roast dinner and other traditional Paniolo ranch dishes, hula lessons, storytelling, and entertainment.
