Serene Hawaiian beaches have another blissful experience for you. Join North Shore Tour Guide for a fun and exciting 1.5-hour adventure. Captain runs shore fishing trips from a beautiful beach in Kona. Away from all the hustle and bustle, you’ll have your fishing lesson in a peaceful, secluded spot.

Forget about the seasickness or worrying if the water will be choppy. You’ll be on the beach the whole time, with your bare feet resting in the soft sand. As the beach has more space than any boat you could find, there’s enough room for everybody and you won’t feel cramped. The captain welcomes groups with up to 8 guests.

Kids of all ages are welcome to join but if they want to try out fishing, they should be old enough to hold a pole on their own. This is a perfect opportunity for kids to learn how to fish, without worrying if they are going to be uncomfortable on the boat.

You’ll target different Hawaiian species, some of them being Wrasse, Rockfish, Triggerfish, Bonefish, and many more. All fish are released as soon as they are reeled in. There are 3 time slots for this trip each day, so you only need to choose what time works best for you.

The captain will provide your fishing equipment but you need to bring your snacks and drinks, or anything you would normally bring to your day on the beach, such as towels, sunscreen, etc.

North Shore Tour Guide and Captain Kenneth are here for you year-round. Come here for your slice of this Hawaiian heaven.

**Hawaii fishing license**

Required for:
Any nonresident age 15 or older, except active duty military and their families, to fish recreationally in the ocean.

Any day of fishing is better than....
1.5 Hour Trip (7:30AM) on July 1, 20242 adults

I booked a short 1.5 hr session on purpose. I wanted a quaint, small group. I wanted to meet a local expert with some fun stories. I got all of that with Kieran on the day we went. Weather was perfection and conditions were great. While I didn't hook up, the bait got plenty of bites. In our time, we watched a sea lion swim by at about 20 feet from us on the water's edge. We spotted a couple of turtles cruising by. I could see the smaller fish feeding along the coral in the clear water. It was heaven. Hats off to Kieran for the knowledge, patience, stories, and co-angling company. Took my 18YO and we fished with a family for 4 adults. Plenty of room and attention for all if us. Highly recommended and would love to go out with this service again.
