海釣り体験 ホノルル沖でフィッシングクルーズ 大物狙いの本格海釣り!ベテランクルーのサポートで安心 釣り用具付き<混載/半日~1日/ケワロ湾>

Unfortunately, I didn't catch a single fish. 残念ながら一匹も釣れませんでした

Reviewed by: ボウズ

There were a total of five people on the boat, including three Americans besides my son and me. We first used cards to determine the order, and the rule was to reel in fish in that order when we got a bite. However, after about four hours of running offshore, we ended up with no bites at all. The crew said, "This kind of day happens," but I felt like we wasted half a day of our trip to Hawaii, and the mental damage was significant.

私と息子以外に、アメリカ人3人を加えた合計5人の混載でした。最初にトランプを使って順番を決めて、竿に当たりがきたらその順番で釣り上げていくというルールなのですが、4時間くらい沖を走って結局一匹も当たりがありませんでした。クルーは「(英語)こんな日もある」と言っていましたが、ハワイ旅行の半日を無駄にしてしまった感じで、精神的ダメージが大きい。

Fantastic all around!

Reviewed by: Cecil Hamm

We had a blast! The captain and crew were wonderful and made sure everything was in place for a wonderful time. Everything from the location, weather, snorkeling tips, customer service and drinks contributed to all of us having a super day. We saw 8 to 10 turtles and much more marine life in two hours time. We even saw dolphins jumping high out of the water with Diamond Head in the background. Unfortunately they were so fast, I missed getting their pic. We will definitely take this trip again with this same outfit. Maybe the lunch or dinner trip. Can't wait to repeat!

The crew was friendly and it was a nice big boat with clean restrooms. The guys seemed like they love what they do so that helped it be a very nice trip. They caught a 140lb tuna. It was fun :) there was plenty of shade for my kids to nap :)

Honeymoon ハネムーン

Reviewed by: おぶひ

I made a reservation based on my husband's only hope of going trolling. There were various options, but I chose this one because it was cheaper compared to others and had good reviews.

After participating, my impression is that knowing some English would have made it even more enjoyable. The crew members didn't speak Japanese, so they explained everything in fast-paced English. Fortunately, there was a considerate foreign participant who helped explain things clearly later on.

We needed to prepare our own drinks and food. I only brought one drink and a cereal bar, so I wished I had brought more.

There were five participants on our boat. First, we got on the boat and used cards to determine the order. When a fish bites, we reel it in according to that order. We set off and headed about an hour out to sea. The boat rocked quite a bit, so taking motion sickness medication is definitely recommended. While heading out, we did some bait fishing and caught two fish that seemed to be around 40 centimeters long. I was second in line, so I caught the second fish.

For the third catch, we hooked a marlin that was about 150 centimeters long. However, that was the end of it. My husband was fourth in line and didn't catch anything.

I don't expect to catch a big fish, but I wish they could ensure that all participants could catch something at least during the bait fishing. Spending nearly a whole day of our precious honeymoon on something uncertain for 28,000 yen... whether it's worth it varies from person to person, but I somehow enjoyed it, so I guess it was okay.

主人のトローリングがしたいとの唯一希望により、予約しました。色々なところがありましたが、こちらを選んだのは、他と比べて値段が安かったことと、口コミの評価がよかったから。

参加してみての感想は、まず英語が多少出来た方が更に楽しめただろうということ。乗組員の方は日本語なんて出来ないから、普通に早口の英語で説明されます。同乗した方の中に気を使ってくれる外国人の方がおられたので、後で分かりやすく説明してくれたので助かりました。
飲み物食べ物は各自で準備が必要でした。飲み物1本とシリアルバーしか持って行ってなかったので、もっと持っていけばよかったなと思いました。

今回私達の船には5人の参加者がいました。まず船にのりトランプを使って順番を決めます。竿に当たりがきたらその順番で釣り上げていくため。
出発してまず船で1時間程度沖に出ます。結構な揺れ加減なので酔い止めを飲んだ方が絶対にいーです。沖に出ながらベイト釣り。40センチぐらいのハマチらしき魚を2匹釣りました。私は順番が2番目だったので2匹目の魚を釣りました。
3匹目に150センチぐらいのカジキが釣れました。でも、それで終了。旦那は4番目だった為、何も釣り上げられず(^^;

大物を釣らせてとは言わないけれど、せめてベイト釣りで参加者全員が釣り上げられるようにしてくれたら、もっといーのになと思いました。
貴重なハネムーンの1日をほぼ使って、釣れるかどうかわからないことに28000円…する価値があるのかどーかは人それぞれだと思いますが、私は何だかんだ楽しめたので、まぁよかったかな(>_<)

You don't have to go that far. そんなに遠くまで行かなくていいのに

Reviewed by: pure

It was my first time in Hawaii. It was also my first time trying sport fishing. I was the only one participating in the tour, which made me quite anxious since I couldn't speak the language. On the day of the tour, we were supposed to meet before 6 AM. I thought I could walk from the hotel, but after only checking the map, I felt uneasy about going to a new place alone, so I was glad I arranged for a taxi in advance. The taxi arrived on time and took about 20 minutes to get there. Three young people were already there. I thought they were my companions, but they didn't seem very friendly, and it turned out they were there individually. A little late, a boy around sixth grade and his mother arrived. The weather was a bit cloudy, but I wasn't worried. I greeted them, but as expected, I couldn't understand much of what they said.

As we set off, we progressed into the dark dawn sea. It was more cold than refreshing, and my windbreaker came in handy. After about 20 minutes, the young captain began to slow down as he looked at the fish finder. I started to feel excited, thinking we were about to catch fish, but it turned out we were going to catch live bait. The members on board took turns catching fish that looked like mackerel, about 30 centimeters long. I think we caught around 30 fish. We were ready to go, and my excitement grew as we set off again toward our destination. The boat accelerated, and I thought we were quite far from the island, but after about an hour, the island was no longer visible. Moreover, the sea was quite rough, and the boat rocked significantly, which surprised me.

The boat was professional and exceeded my expectations with its impressive equipment. I had imagined fishing in such a boat, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter the target fish. In the end, we only caught one mahi-mahi. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of serious fishing on a cruiser. The catch or lack thereof is just a matter of luck. I was happy to have had this experience. Although there was a language barrier, the captain was considerate, and it turned out to be a memorable day.

 初めてのハワイでした。
 スポーツフィッシングもはじめて。同行のツアーで、参加するのも、どうやら私一人。言葉もできないし、不安いっぱいで、当日を迎えた。
 当日、6時前の集合で、、ホテルから歩けるかと思っていたが、地図上だけの確認で、一人、初めてのところに行くのも不安だったので、事前にタクシーをお願いしていて正解だった。タクシーは、時間どうり手配されており、20分くらいで、到着。すでに、3人の若者が、来ていた。仲間かと思っていたら、それほど親しそうでもなく、それぞれの参加だったようだ。遅れて、小学6年生くらいの男の子と、お母さんが、やってきた。天気は、やや曇りだが、心配なし。挨拶をしたが、案の定よく言葉は、わからなかった。
 出発すると、どんどん真っ暗な夜明けの海を進んでいく。すがすがしいというよりは、寒い。ウインドブレーカーが役に立つ。20分くらい走ったろうか、しきりに、キャプテンの青年が、魚探を眺めてスピードを落とし始めた。いよいよかとワクワクし始めたら、どうも生餌を釣るということらしく、乗ったメンバーが、順番に、30センチくらいのサバのような魚を釣り上げることになった。30匹くらいは、釣ったと思う。準備はできた。いよいよと思ってワクワク感は、募っていく。目指す場所に向かって、再度、出発。船は、どんどん加速され、けっこう、島から離れたなあと思っていたのだが、1時間くらい走り続けただろうか、もう、島は、見えなくなってしまっていた。おまけに、沖は、それなりに、しけていて、けっこう、上下に、大きく揺れ、こんなところまで来るのかと驚いた。
  ボートは、本格的で、私のイメージをはるかに超え、立派な装備がされていたものだった。こういう船で、マリーンは、釣るのかと勝手に、想像を膨らませていたが、なかなか、お目当ての魚に出会うことは、残念ながらなかった。結局、釣果としては、シイラ1匹だけだった。
  でも、クルーザーに乗っての本格的なフィッシングは、十分堪能できた。釣れるつれないは、時の運。このような体験をできたことが、楽しかった。言葉の壁は、なかったわけではないが、キャプテンも、気を使ってくれ、、思い出深い1日となった。

3-Hour Waikiki Deluxe Turtle Snorkel Sail with Lunch - Hawaii Nautical

Unbelievable Turtle and Fish Snorkeling Experience! Must do in Honolulu!

Reviewed by: Forrest M

Had a blast of a time with Captain Chad and the crew! Booked relatively last minute after a competing boat tour didn't seem to be what I was looking for. Couldn't have been happier with my decision once finding the boat and stepping on board. My girlfriend desperately wanted to see a live Sea Turtle and the guarantee of seeing them on this tour made me book it and they delivered! We weren't 4 feet from a sea turtle catching some air and some sun in the water! On top of that, there were more turtles down below and plenty of interesting fish to look at. Outside of professional staff, equipment, and a lovely boat, we enjoyed plenty of chips and sandwiches, strong and cold cocktails for a completely fair price (2 bucks a drink, or a buck a beer). Enjoying the Waikiki coastline, sipping a cocktail, soaking in the rays, and reminiscing about the fantastic snorkeling we'd just done (complete with a Sea Turtle or three!) was a great way to spend an afternoon. If you are looking for a quality snorkeling trip at a great price, check these guys out!

I'll be back! Hopefully I see you with the turtles!

3-Hour Waikiki Deluxe Turtle Snorkel Sail with Lunch - Hawaii Nautical

Amazing tour highly recommended!

Reviewed by: steve

We originally booked turtle bay tour but were upgraded to a dolphin tour on a different day as the tour ended up not running on the day. The tour bus picked us up at 7am from the hotel free of charge to the destination which roughly took about an hour. It was bit of a long drive but the driver was very friendly and continued interesting conversation so was not boring at all.
The vessel was very clean and well equpped. Crews were super friendly and helpful. As we jumped on light breakfast and fruit platters were served. The tour included lunch and 2 alcoholic beverages but better yet they provided 1 dollar beer and 2 dollar cocktails - the cheapest alcohol in hawaii!
The first stop was to watch the dolphins. I think there were at least 50 dolphins. I have never seen dolphins so up close - it was simply magical.
2nd stop was to do the snorkeling. The weather was perfect and the water was so calm and clear almost like an aquarium. After the snorkeling session sandwich bar lunch was served which in my opinion was quite decent - had lots of fresh stuff including the kalua pig.
After the lunch, we were taken back to the shore then transferred back to the hotel by around 1pm. Although the tour was quite packed we still had half a day afterwards.
The tour was overall very well organised and action packed that we did not have any chance to be bored.
I will definitely come back for more tours with Hawaii Nautical as this was hands down the best snorkeling tour I have experienced.

The snorkeling was amazing, got to see lots of sea turtles and tropical fish, definitely bring your water camera lots of pictures to take almost ran out of space. The catamaran was beautiful, spacious and clean. Plenty of snacks, and the drinks were awesome..

Would definitely recommend (tip try to do it in the morning it's the best time to catch the turtles active and good visibility) Mahalo guys!

My fiancé and I booked this during our 6 day stay in Oahu. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Jacob picked us up promptly from our hotel in Waikiki right on time and took us to the boat. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive right from the start and the entire way through. They instructed us on the ins and outs of snorkeling and made sure we were comfortable. We snorkeled and saw all the fish and sea turtles our hearts desired within a few feet. It was amazing! Barry hung out in the water with us the entire time indicating different sights and making sure all was safe. After a while we climbed aboard and David had prepared a delicious lunch of Mahi Mahi and chicken wraps, as well as macaroni salad and chips. The drinks were superb as well. After lunch, we set sail for the rest of the trip, viewing Waikiki and Diamond head as well as the rest of the island. The guys offered much advice on local eateries and activities, and answered any questions that we had with genuine interest. It isn't often that I post reviews, but these guys truly made our day, if not our trip. I've never felt so comfortable and impressed by any charter group before. BOOK THIS NOW! You honestly will not regret it. We are thinking about booking another trip with these guys before we leave.

Honolulu Deep Sea Fishing Charter from Kewalo Basin Harbor - Full Day Shared Trip

Great Experience

Reviewed by: WI Honeymooners

This was our first charter fishing trip both of us had ever taken. It was an unforgettable one at that. Captain Tony and Kelly were excellent guides and shared so much knowledge about both fishing and Hawaii in general. Both Captain Tony and Kelly warned us typically spring time is when fishing is best and summer time is a bit slower,but sometimes the fish surprised them. We ended up catching a Mahi Mahi and another gentleman caught a small tuna. Both catches were very exciting! Captain Tony helped guide us as the fish was being reeled in and most importantly making sure we were safe. If we ever make it back to Hawaii we will most definitely go fishing with them again but make it a full day fishing trip. Even if we had not caught fish it was nice to sit back and relax out on the Pacific.

Unforgettable Experience Not to be Missed!

Reviewed by: E & J from San Diego

After visiting Honolulu many times before, my husband and I wanted to do something fun and unique to celebrate the beauty of Honolulu...beyond the glitzy stores and swanky restaurants. Well, we couldn't be happier with our choice to book a sun-filled excursion on the Honi Olani. The catamaran sail turned out to be fantastic, thanks to the experienced, well-trained Captain and crew. From the confirmation email, hotel pickup and transport to the marina, all of the details worked out as promised. As promised, we swam right next to sea turtles and other fish and truly enjoyed the personal attention and guidance while snorkeling in the water. We swam for over an hour, then sailed along the gorgeous shores of the island. The lunch provided was tasty, as were the cocktails and drinks included in the tour. The friendly crew made the entire tour seem effortless, although we know they were all hard at work serving us every step of the way. Honestly, we felt pampered. This trip definitely is recommended for everyone, including those families with young children who are confident with swimming in the ocean. Flotation vests, high-quality fins and snorkels are provided, and the kids who were on our tour were watched over very carefully and taught the basics of snorkeling. There is something so peaceful about the turtles who live so close to the hustle and bustle of downtown Honolulu. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The staff was very attentive and helpful and made you feel very comfortable the whole day. We got to see lots of turtles! The food was great and there was plenty of it to go around. The guys were constantly asking if they could get you anything or do anything to make the trip more comfortable for you. Weather was perfect and the water was nice and warm.

First let me say that this cruise, the crew, and the food and drinks are all amazing, and that you should not hesitate in booking! I was looking for something fun for my husband and I to do for our 3 year anniversary, and I'm glad we picked this. Going through the process of actually ordering the tickets was a bit of a pain. We live here, but the website kept asking about our flights and hotel, so that was a bit annoying. But, we finally got our voucher for the sail and it was confirmed very quickly. The company even called a few times to make sure we were all set. When we got onboard the crew was fantastic and started serving up the drinks and food immediately. Woohoo! The water was absolutely beautiful, and I got to see some marine life that I haven't seen before in my 4 years as a Hawai'i resident. The crew was also very good about making sure we were safe at all times, which made us feel like we were in good hands. All in all, it was a great experience and we would happily pay to go again.

Awesome Day Snorkeling in Waikiki!

Reviewed by: Chrissy

My boyfriend and I came across this website while vacationing in Oahu. We were looking online for snorkeling tours, but most were out of our budget. When we came across this website we were excited that we had found a good deal. The process was super easy! All we did was input the date we wanted to go and purchased our tickets. When we arrived at the boat harbor we had no problem presenting our online confirmation and getting right on the boat. The crew on the boat were very hospitable and made sure we had a memorable experience. The snorkel spot was breathtaking! Especially vein so close to the endangered green sea turtles. We saw well over a dozen of them and sometimes they came rather close to us. After snorkeling for a little over an hour we hopped back on the boat and the crew served us lunch and drinks (including alcohol). There was no charge for anything on the boat, including the alcohol. We then went for a scenic sail around Diamond Head and relaxed out on the front of the catamaran. This was one of the best days of our vacation! We would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Oahu and looking for some great snorkeling!

This was a great experience! This was the best part of our vacation, the most fun the both of us had. The crew members really helped to make the trip memorable and so much fun. The crew had much knowledge and was able to answer so many questions. The best part by far was them helping me out. I was very afraid of getting in and snorkeling, I began freaking out and going back to the boat, before getting out the captain asked if I would be more comfortable using a floatation devise to help me out. And man that made a huge difference. Not only did they give me that device they then help me swim out to the spot and help me keep calm. This was the best thing for me, I was very frightened at first but got over it thanks to the crew thank you (:

I had a great time. すっごく楽しかった

Reviewed by: Y.S.

It was a shared trip with six people. I was the only Japanese; the others were one Canadian man, two American men, and a couple. The crew consisted of a captain and one other person, for a total of two.

We set sail at 6 AM and spent the first hour or so fishing for bait off Waikiki. We used a fish finder to track schools of fish and fished with sabiki rigs. It didn't go very well, but we managed to catch seven or eight decent-sized mackerel. The bait was prepared in advance and kept in the refrigerator.

After that, we headed further out to sea, setting up our rods and waiting patiently for big catches. There were hardly any bites in the morning, but after moving to a location from the south to the west of Oahu, we started to get some action. That day, we caught two mahi-mahi and two spear fish.

The excitement when a fish was hooked and the joy of reeling it in became a lifelong memory. The crew was kind and nice guys. However, for those who don't understand English, participating alone might be tough. I think it's better to join with multiple people or charter a group. The waves were quite high, but perhaps because I was enjoying the view from the second deck, I didn't experience seasickness. By the way, none of the other participants seemed to get seasick either.

6人の乗り合いでした。日本人は私だけ。他はカナダ人のおじさん1人、アメリカ人のおじさん2人、夫婦1組。クルーはキャプテンともう1人の計2人。
6時に出航して最初の1時間くらいはワイキキ沖でベイト釣り。探知機で魚群を追い回してサビキで釣ります。あまりうまく行きませんでしたが、尺アジを7,8匹確保。一応ベイトはあらかじめ冷蔵庫に準備されてました。
その後はさらに沖に出ながらロッドをセットして大物がかかるのをひたすら待つ。午前中はあたりもほとんどなかったのですが、場所をオアフの南から西の方面へ移動してからあたりが出始め、この日はマヒマヒ2匹、スピアフィッシュ2匹の釣果でした。
かかったときの興奮と釣り上げたときの感動は、一生の思い出になりました。
クルーは親切でナイスガイでした。ただ英語がわからない人は、1人で参加するのはきついかもしれません。複数人で参加するかグループでチャーターする方がいいと思います。波は結構高かったですが、2階のデッキで景色を眺めたりしていたからか、船酔いはありませんでした。ちなみに他の参加者にも船酔いはいませんでした。

Honolulu Deep Sea Fishing Charter from Kewalo Basin Harbor - Full Day Shared Trip

A great day with a great bunch of fellow anglers

Reviewed by: Brian

Capt mike piloting the Maggie Joe is a winning combination. My son I. Law and nephew all had a great great time. The crew, Ty and Jeremy were awesome. Catching a 212# blue marlin was just icing on the cake. I would definitely go with this. Few again

  • Proud of my catch

Great Time Deep Sea Fishing!

Reviewed by: Mauro & Mike Serrano

Mike and I had a great time fishing with your company on Saturday. Jason and Nate were a very knowledgeable crew and kept the action going throughout the trip. We enjoyed eating our part of the catch the next day. I will recommend you to my friends visiting Honolulu in the future and will look forward to another fishing adventure when I return. Thanks for a good time, Mike & Mauro Serrano

Reviewed by: Tommy's Mom

It was my First Experience going to Fishing. My Husband wanted to took our Son to the Fishing, but I wanted to keep him safe, so we desided to join this Activitie (cause, I heard this Sports fishing activitie can go with experienced staff, and safe!).
Our Son caught MahiMahi and Ahi, and he looked so happy!
Staff was very friendly and had lots of Knowledge about fishing! Thank you for the great time. We will come back again!

Overall good time

Reviewed by: Tom

Even though we didn't catch any fish, I found the experience enjoyable. I learned a lot from the friendly staff, and would go again next time I'm in Hawaii. Hopefully we'll catch something next time.
