Maui Fishing is unparalleled for the quality and quantity of fish in our waters. Enjoy a relaxing day on the water, get some sun, have some fun, and come home with some fish to cook up. These trips often pay for themselves, considering the amount of fish you can take home.

Snorkeling in Maui can be done from the shore or from a boat. Some of the best snorkeling is at Molokini Crater (only accessed by boat.) This volcanic atoll is protected inside from currents that can mix up the water and hurt visual clarity. It’s also a marine sanctuary, so lots of fish! You can also snorkel from the shore and likely run into plenty of fish and turtles.
