★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 320 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $86Our pick

Meet Ohana Fun Fishing at Kewalo Basin Harbor for a three-hour shared trip along Honolulu’s coast. Captain Jay, Savannah, JP, and other crew members help beginners handle the gear as you fish near Waikiki and offshore grounds. The boat carries up to 42 people, with rods, bait, water, and onboard bathrooms provided.

“Captain has no sonar or fish finder, drift fishing from 50ft - 300ft. Very difficult to fish with rod and reel with 30lbs mono. It would help if captain would keep the. Vessel at 40-70 ft of water. Crew and everyone was very kind.”

3.3-Hour Honolulu Bottom Fishing Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 25 reviews · 3 hours · from $86

Meet the crew 20 minutes early under the 900-FISH sign at Kewalo Basin Harbor, then board Sashimi II for a shared three-hour fishing trip off Honolulu. You get gear, bait, a short lesson, hands-on help, water, and juice. No fishing experience is needed, and the crew helps you work the line and handle your catch.

“I’ve been fishing before but never with my family so my wife wanted to take our 2 boys fishing for the first time. So we all went and had amazing time, neither boys caught anything but had several bites. The crew made the experience worth it. We saw a shark, they learned how to put bait on a hook, plus more! Price was perfect. Highly recommend”
