Getting there from the homes
Laniakea Turtle Beach is 45-55 minutes from our homes in Ka'a'awa. Most of the drive is on Kamehameha Highway along the windward coast, so leave a little extra time on weekends and in the late afternoon, when traffic through Kaneohe builds. Check the hours above before you set out; they change seasonally.
