Long-range tours from Honolulu
Our specialty is going farther: Molokai's north shore sea cliffs, the tallest sea cliffs in the world, Kauai's Nā Pali Coast and the offshore fishing grounds. Every tour is private. Routes depend on weather and ocean conditions.

What we catch
- Mahi-mahi Hawaiian name: mahimahi
Also called dorado or dolphinfish (no relation to dolphins), it's a fast, acrobatic fighter that flashes green, gold and blue.
- Yellowfin tuna Hawaiian name: ʻahi
A powerful, hard-pulling tuna with long yellow fins, prized in Hawaii for poke and sashimi.
- Pacific blue marlin Hawaiian name: ʻaʻu (sold in Hawaii as kajiki)
The heavyweight of Hawaiian big-game fishing, famous for long runs and spectacular jumps.
- Sailfish Hawaiian name: ʻaʻu lepe
Known for its tall, sail-like dorsal fin and long bill, and a less common catch in Hawaiian waters, which makes every one special.
What's biting depends on the season and conditions.
Kaʻena Point Natural Area Reserve
Cruise to Kaʻena Point, the westernmost point of Oahu, where the roads end and a wild, protected coastline begins. The point is a Natural Area Reserve with no road around it, so the water is a beautiful way to take in its rugged shoreline, pale sand dunes and the Waiʻanae Mountains rising behind.
- See Oahu's rugged, roadless western tip from the water
- You may spot Hawaiian monk seals and seabirds, including nesting Laysan albatross
- Seasonal: in winter, humpback whales frequent the waters around the point
- We enjoy the reserve from the boat and keep a respectful distance from all wildlife

Molokai Fish & Hunt
Fish your way across the Kaiwi Channel to Molokai, then trade the rods for a day ashore hunting axis deer with a local guide. We pull into Molokai harbor, where the guide picks the group up and heads for a valley on a remote part of the island that's home to a herd of axis deer. Along the way you'll stop at the guide's off-grid family farm, about 40 acres of bananas, coconuts, mangoes and other fruit trees, to load up on fresh fruit. Then it's back to the boat, and the lines go back in for more fishing.
- Lines out on the run from Honolulu to Molokai
- Pull into Molokai harbor and head ashore with a local guide
- A guided axis deer hunt in a remote Molokai valley
- Load up on bananas, coconuts, mangoes and other fresh fruit at an off-grid family farm
- Island treats to take home when available, such as deer jerky, coconut candy, dried banana and macadamia nuts
- Back aboard to keep fishing
Hunting is arranged with a local Molokai guide. Hunting licenses and the details of your day ashore are confirmed when you book.
