WEB SITE USER COMMENT: "Thank you very much for your e-mails. They're
great! I really appreciate you taking the time to send me so much useful
information." J Nowakowski, Australia
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! 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, Mahi Mahi, 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.
