My husband, Art, and I went on a two hour snorkel with Captain Kehi and Justis early this morning. They are both local men who were raised here and are … continue reading so knowledgeable. They educated us on many of the coastline areas and their history. They also suggested many places to walk to and explore, including the aiopio ( fish traps and many small, beautiful beaches most tourists might not see. The gave us the history of the aiopio. They helped us spot and identify many of the fish. We saw spinner dolphins, an octopus and what I believe they called a nūnū. We are not experienced snorklers and they were very good at helping us with our gear, making us feel safe and comfortable, all while letting us maintain our dignity. We laughed a lot and enjoyed their company and guidance. Highly recommend these guys and their guidance. What a beautiful and fun experience. Mahalo!!

We had a great time fishing with Ocean Blue! Everyone in our group caught fish, and we had so much fun out on the water.
Captain Kihe was great, friendly, … continue reading knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a good experience. He also cleaned all the fish for us afterward. We had some as sashimi and cooked the rest, and it was so fresh and delicious!
Also a big thank you to Tasha for making the booking process so easy. She answered all of our questions and was very patient and accommodating when we had to change our schedule a few times because of the storm Nolo.
Overall, we had a really fun and memorable experience. We would definitely recommend Ocean Blue! -

Aloha,
My 10-year-old son and I went out on the 4-hour shared fishing tour on September 22. We had Captain Kihe and Tracey, who was his co-captain. We … continue reading could not have been happier with them. They put us on the fish, and by the end of the day, we could barely feel our arms from all the fish we had to reel in. The boat was a good size, in great condition and they kept it extremely clean the entire time.
More importantly, I am very thankful for their kindness and patience with my son. He has recently found a passion for fishing, so he had tons of questions, and Captain Kihe answered every one of them without skipping a beat.
I highly recommend going out with them, and if we are lucky enough to come back to this area in the future, we will definitely be returning customers.
Respectfully,

Our fishing guide was A+. He was easy-going, friendly, and so helpful. We loved the boat ride as much as the fishing and appreciated that he let us sit … continue reading on the bow of the boat to enjoy the sun and waves. We lost a lot of bait, and he was quick to get us rebaited and back in the water. We caught a variety of fish and greatly enjoyed the experience. We took our fish to a local restaurant that evening and had a fish buffet - cooked in a variety of ways. My only regret is that we took more fish than we could eat. I wish we had left some with our guide because it was a shame to waste it. Many thanks to Ocean Blue Kona! Highly recommend for a family-style fishing experience.

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!
