BODY BOARDING is pretty easy to learn and you will soon be catching a wave. If others are boarding around you watch how they do it. The best waves are 1-3 feet.

Also, you must wear the flippers when boarding to be able to catch a wave. If the flippers rub against your feet, possibly leaving blisters, wear socks with them into the water. When paddling out, dip under incoming waves. Larger waves could flip you over.

Island of Molokini as seen from Maui

MOLOKINI is a crescent-shaped inlet,  the remnant of an exposed volcanic crater. This marine preserve is the perfect place to see lots of tropical fish, green sea turtles, dolphins, and other marine life. It is a snorkelers dream and a divers haven. The island it’s self is uninhabited and only raises 156 feet above sea level. Snorkel, SCUBA, and Snuba boat tours available. See listing for each below.

PARASAILING lets you soar like a bird. It is the ultimate way to see the Kaanapali coastline from 900 feet.

SNORKELING allows you to enter into the amazing world of the ocean and explore the incredible creatures that live in it. Some find snorkeling a bit scary at first because it is weird to have your face under water and still be able to breathe. It is very easy to get used to and opens a whole new world to you! Bring your own equipment for under $2 for a 24hr rental, $9 per week. Be sure to make a disposable underwater camera part of your equipment!!! Do not feed the fish, human food is not healthy to ocean creatures and it also causes the fish to frenzy. The best way to see the creatures is to just float and observe them doing what they naturally do. There is A LOT to see! Be a good reef visitor by not touching or taking marine life. Watch where your hands and fins are so you do not step on corals (live reef building animals) or other animals. WEAR WATERPROOF SUN SCREEN ABOVE 15 SPF!!!! If your lotion is not waterproof you will burn badly! The sun is strongest 11am-3pm. Limit your time in the direct sun to a 2 hour max to avoid burning.

SPORT FISHING: If you’ve dreamed of reeling in the biggest catch of your life the Pacific Ocean is the place to be. We recommend boats that will agree to any request to release billfish and will also allow you to take some of the catch home. The preservation of the Hawaiian fishing grounds is an important concern and fishermen releasing unneeded catch is a part in this preservation. The most popular sport fish caught around the Hawaiian Islands are Pacific Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Bigeye Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Black Marlin, Broadbill Swordfish, Shortbill Spearfish, Pacific Sailfish, Dolphinfish, Wahoo, and Yellowfin Tuna. It is a fact that all fishing places, however fantastic they are, cannot guarantee that you will catch fish. When you charter a boat you are paying for is the opportunity to catch a large fish and the story of a lifetime. The Kona area of the Big Island is known to have the best catch rates in the islands, especially during mating season (April-August). Dress comfortably and prepare for direct sun exposure. There will be a place to retreat from the sun on the boat but don’t neglect the sunscreen! A waterproof spf 30 or better. T-shirts and shorts, a light hat, polarized sunglasses, and deck shoes or sneakers are fine for a day on the water. For most boats you are asked to bring all of your food and drink aboard with you. Canned drinks, and some light snacks and sandwiches are a good idea. All boats will have fresh water, ice, and a way to keep your stuff cold aboard. There is a Hawaiian superstition that absolutely, positively, no bananas go on a fishing trip!  It is considered to be unlucky to have bananas or anything with banana in it on a boat in Hawaii. Ask your skipper more about this Hawaiian kapu.
