We had such a great time on our fishing tour in Hawaii! Our guide was really easygoing, friendly, and knowledgeable, which made the whole experience so … continue reading enjoyable. We got to catch our own fish, and he did a great job cleaning everything for us afterward. He also gave us some great restaurant recommendations where we could take our fish to have it cooked, which was such a fun way to finish the experience. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely recommend this tour!

Highly recommend this charter in Kona! Our guide, Kevin, provided absolutely incredible customer service from start to finish. He is incredibly personable—the … continue reading kind of guy you’d instantly want to invite over for dinner. Instead of just sticking to one thing, we targeted several different species and had an amazing day on the water. We caught a rainbow runner, the prized nebeta, goat fish, several snappers, and some unwanted but absolutely beautiful triggerfish! To top it all off, Kevin gave us fantastic local island recommendations—including a restaurant where we took our catch afterward to have it perfectly seasoned, fried, and grilled. 10/10 experience!

Mahalo to Kihe and Tracy for taking us out for a fantastic 4-hour morning run! They are both incredibly knowledgeable, well-experienced, and total professionals … continue reading when it comes to fishing on the Big Island.
From the moment we stepped on the boat, they were friendly, welcoming, and just great fun to be around. They kept the energy high, shared awesome insights about the local waters, and made sure everyone had an amazing time. If you are looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in Hawaii, I cannot recommend Ocean Blue Fishing enough. We will definitely be back for another charter! -

Great experience with our group of 4. We were looking for a fun and active fishing experience, and got exactly that: we caught many Nabetas and Wekes, … continue reading even a Barracuda. We used "catch and cook" and had our fish at Umekes, which Kevin arranged for us. Highly recommend for a family or group of friends.
