Enjoy World Class Sport Fishing in Hawaii
Unique in its geography, climate, and a wide variety of natural attractions, Hawaii’s Big Island is also an incredible, world-class deep-sea fishing destination. Surrounded by prime Pacific Ocean fishing grounds, there’s plenty of opportunities to head out on a chartered boat in hunt of a prize catch or a tasty meal of your own making. The waters around Kona are home to some monster fish and high adventure, so make sure to set aside a day to do some fishing during your Big Island vacation.
Located just off the Kona Coast, the North Kona Slump and the Kiholo Ridge to the north provide a significant drop in ocean depth – between 2,000 and 4,500 meters in some spots. This provides incredible access to deep-sea fish that are generally less accessible on shorter fishing trips, making the Big Island a must-visit destination for avid fishermen. If you’re planning to visit the Big Island, make sure you check out some of the amazing fishing charters on the island to make the most of your Hawaiian adventure.
