Fishing Options

Fishing Maui is thus one of the biggest pass time and leisure activities. Using a bait, you can drift down anywhere between 50-200 feet down, in order to catch few tinier reef fish like Nabeta, Aweoweo and several others like Barracuda, Gray snapper and Trigger fish to name a few. However, fishing Maui may be lucky for you as you may just land up with a big fish in your hand. Fishing Maui is also a common pass time for the locals and a large scale activity. These fish are good enough for eating purposes too. You get these boats at competitive costs after meeting with some standard requirements. Fishing Maui is total fun and you never got to miss it.

On the other hand you also have the shore and reef fishing option while fishing Maui. This is one of the biggest crush of any tourist. Fishing Maui through the reef and shore route offers immense freedom, no liability, reservation or time limit. You can enjoy the benefits all alone in your own company. This is completely suitable for those looking for full-fledged fun and frolic. You can enjoy marvelous sceneries and silent environment apart from catching fish.

Boats to be hired and costs

You always have two options; one to hire a private charter and secondly to share a boat. Of the two, it’s important to note that private boats offer freedom for couples while the shared boats have other tourists on board. There are 4 seats on these share boats and one may have to settle with irritating passengers whom you may not be very comfortable with. Moreover, these boats do not leave for water unless the boat is filled to its capacity. The costs may be anywhere around a 1000$ for private charters considering an 8 hour trip. However, for share boats an approximate of 200$ per person is the standard rate for 8 hours.

Information you can equip yourself with

You may be wandering, how long you should go fishing Maui. The longer, the better would be the instant answer. Usually, a 6 hour time frame while hiring a boat is recommended. The child accompanying you must be at least 6 years of age. In case you have paid the money and haven’t gone fishing Maui due to unhealthy weather, refunds are not guaranteed to happen. However, if you face violent water you can request for a silent area. Fishing Maui can be fun when you are equipped with the necessary knowledge in advance. The captains are very friendly and fishing Maui promises to be pleasurable with so many offers.

second, we will be in maui from thursday afternoon until tuesday morning and were trying to decide what days of the week would be best for various activities. first, does it matter whether or not we attend a luau on a weekend night or a weeknight? and second, if we are going to drive to hana is it better to do that on a weekday or a weekend?

Aloha Michael,

Since Hawaii is so far from the mainland you don’t really see a bigger influx of tourists on the weekends. That being said, places like the beaches etc. may be busier, because the locals are on their weekend and you may find them out and about at different locations.

As far as the Maui Luaus, if you are looking for a more traditional (cultural and historical) Hawaiian style Luau then the Old Lahaina is your best bet. It is very popular with most visitors. If your more interested in the Polynesian culture than the Feast at Lele has a variety of dancers from the different islands (Hawaii, Tahiti, Tonga, Somoa). Although I haven’t been to the luaus in Maui myself yet, I would pick the Old Lahaina Luau if you can get booked, it appears to sell out fast from my research. The weekend at luaus may be a little busier, but not much. For this one you may have to settle for whatever booking you can get.

The road to Hana has about 1,000 cars on it daily with more on the weekends. I would recommend this trip on a weekday to avoid the even heavier traffic. Try to start early, before sunrise and leaving Hana after sunset and you will avoid the heavy traffic which is heaviest in the mid-moring and mid-afternoon.

Here is a good article to read on the Road to Hana:

Mahalo Michael
We hope you love your trip to da islands!

Many people come to Hawaii thinking you can travel between the islands by ferry. In fact, it’s only possible in “Maui Nui” – a family of five islands that eons ago were one. Molokai, Lanai, Molokini and Kahoolawe lie so close to Maui it seems you can reach out and touch them, creating a scenic bounty like none other, and phenomenal opportunities for adventure and exploration.

While you can’t visit Kahoolawe, which is reserved for native Hawaiians, the Marine Preserve of Molokini is one of the world’s premiere snorkeling and scuba spots. As for the main islands, Maui is consistently voted the “World’s Best Island,” for her stunning beauty, thrilling activities, incomparable golf, world-class resorts, award-winning cuisine, and endless beaches. And something more, too, something everyone calls “The Magic of Maui.” Sister island Molokai is outdoor adventure at its finest – Mother Nature’s favorite Hawaiian island. Kayak and dive pristine reefs. Bike over soaring sea cliffs. Explore untouched valleys and beaches. Secluded Lanai is an enticing island like no other. Home to two ultra-luxurious resorts, the isle is a perfect haven from the ordinary.

You’ll discover the Marine Preserve of Molokini, teeming with exotic sea life, and the majesty of Haleakala crater. Upcountry is another world – with alpine meadows, working cattle ranches, and the charming town of Makawao. Every land, sea, and air activity you can imagine; incomparable golf on fifteen championship courses; world-class shopping; award-winning Hawaii Regional Cuisine; delightful small towns like Wailuku; hip beach havens like Paia and Kihei – Maui’s wonders never cease. And surrounding everywhere, forty-two miles of glistening beaches meet the blue Pacific, where each winter thousands of Humpback whales come home to breed and give birth.
