Find Polynesian culture near Kawela Bay
As well as putting you on the spot for a wonderfully diverse array of natural attractions, Kawela Bay vacation rentals place you on the doorstep of all manner of authentic experiences. The Polynesian Cultural Center, a theme park and living museum in Laie, is less than 20 minutes' drive from many rentals. There, visitors are invited to discover the music, dance and traditions of 6 island villages, before tucking into a succulent hog roast at one of the island's most authentic luaus. And if you're up for a late night, you can stick around to be entertained by over 100 Polynesian performers at an action-packed evening show.
Beach days ahoy in Kawela Bay
Beach days on Oahu's north shore are pretty darn special and no one would blame you for simply settling down to soak up the sun and the views – and perhaps indulge in a cocktail or 2. However, should you manage to rustle up the motivation to leave your perfect spot on the sand, there are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy. Exploring the nooks and crannies of the bay in a glass-bottomed kayak and wandering along sandy hiking trails that meander from the beach and through a forest of banyan trees are just a small selection of the experiences that await.
Seasonal appeal in Kawela Bay
Enjoying a stay in Kawela Bay is an option all year round, though there's plenty to be said for heading to the island in September or October – a seasonal sweet spot that, despite the chance of an occasional downpour, offers a killer combo of temperatures in the 80s and attractive rates for Kawela Bay vacation rentals. Over the winter months of December through March, ocean delights abound, with whale-watching opportunities and outstanding surf conditions par for the course and served up in abundance all along the island's sunny north shore.
Outdoor delights at Kawela Bay
The setting for swimming and snorkeling is rarely any prettier than at Kawela Bay and adjacent Turtle Bay. The 5-mile stretch of coast from Kawela Bay to Kahuku Point is among the most unspoiled on the island. So unspoiled, in fact, that locals have gone to considerable effort to see that more than 600 acres of the stretch are conserved for future generations and beyond. It's rugged, often windswept, and home to wonderful wildlife, including green sea turtles and endangered monk seals – and it's on the doorstep of Kawela Bay vacation rentals.
