About
Since we love to educate, we offer an interactive and educational fishing experience that will engage all ages. From trolling to bottom fishing, we give a taste of the different ways locals fish here on Big Island. This unique trip is especially great for small children (3 and over).
Our fishing experience allows one to have a pole in hand, learn the art of casting, see why people love to bottom fish, and more! We allow for time to clean, when a fish is caught, so you can take home dinner. We only take what we can eat. Everything else gets a chance to live another day.
We abide by all Federal and State regulations. Come join us for a family friendly, sustainable, and unique fishing experience. Dress like you are going to the beach, there's always a chance to jump in the water!
