Great time for son’s first time ever fishing experience!

VERIFIED

Our family of 5 had a great time today! We learned the basics of fishing and my two sons who fished learned a lot and my youngest caught a fish within a few minutes of casting his line! Kenny was so fun and informative. I would highly recommend this excursion if you are a beginner or have more experience. Either way, you’ll have a great time.

Cliff fishing w/ Captain Kenny

VERIFIED

Had a nice time trying something new, fishing off a Cliff at South Point State Park. We are avid fisherman but it was cool to see some different species. Kenny was great, knowledgeable, provided equipment and bait. We had fun and was one of the top experiences on our Hawaiian trip for our 10 year old.
