“The skipper and assistant, Ruben and Gabe were very skilled people who knows what they’re doing.. Gabe even took the time to explain everything we need to know about deep sea fishing (reeling in fish etc). They even cleaned and cut up the fish as requested. It was awesome.”
Review of Waikiki’s 3-hour fishing trip, with Diamond Head views, family-friendly fishing, costs, boat details, and practical booking advice.
“Fishing crew was amazing and we caught much more fish than I expected. Beautiful view Only problem was a mess up from Viator not adding is to their schedule. Somehow it didn't show in their schedule and we had to reschedule for a later time. It was very inconvenient having to uber twice there to do it. Otherwise, I recommend to anyone wanting to fish with or without experience. Recommend to call them and confirm your reservation before you go.”

The deck hands, Jake and Austin, worked their tails off all day and were awesome to hang out with. If I ever fish in Hawaii again it will be aboard the Magic.”
