I learned so much, saw countless fish (plus a sea turtle and even a manta ray!), and made a memory that will last a lifetime. A few tips for future spearfishers: 1 Book with Kalani and Jen -- they're amazing! Super knowledgeable, patient, and safety-focused. 2 Check your gear ahead of time. My husband had to bow out early due to an equipment issue, and we wished we'd tested everything first. 3 Book early in your trip. Kalani's top priority is safety, and he won't hesitate to reschedule if water conditions aren't ideal -- which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this experience -- truly unforgettable!

I can't speak for everyone else but me and my boyfriend enjoyed ourselves and would consider doing this tour again if we come back again.

If you're looking for sport fishing on Kauai, look no further. We had a FANTASTIC fishing trip with…read moreCaptain Jeff Brown. It started slow and we were accepting getting skunked, but it was still a beautiful boat ride out to the fishing grounds from Nawiliwili Harbor. Then came the first hit, a huge mahi mahi (dorado) that snarled all the lines, but it was brought on board safely. and lines were quickly put back in the water. Then another mahi, then a decent sized ono (wahoo), then a 30 lb. mahi. All of it was exciting as hell, especially for six novices. Captain Jeff made sure everyone had a turn reeling in the fish and we were all smiles. Then the big one hit. Something took one of the lines and fortunately, the strongest guy had the rod because it took a while to discover that a huge tuna was hooked. From one side of the boat to the other, several times, it took four of us guys to get the tuna on board! It was a happy trip back to the harbor and Captain Jeff cleaned one of the mahi to split up. We took four huge portions back to the room for some outstanding dinners. Delicious. It was the highlight of our week on Kauai and I highly recommend Captain Jeff and Island Kaui Fishing. We'll be back for sure.

This was by far the worst fishing experience I have had to date. It started off horribly, and…read morelooking back I should have saved myself by walking away. The "other couple" we were scheduled with cancelled, and Jeff demanded that we pay for their portion of the trip in cash before we go out. Seeing as how this was the only real excursion my husband and I were going on while in Kauai, we tepidly agreed and paid in order to do the 1 thing we wanted to do - catch some fish. We have a fishing boat and fish often, so we were anxiously awaiting to explore the Hawaiian waters. The same song and dance happened as the other reviews state. We had to remove our shoes, no sunscreen allowed, and were told to hold on to a 1in hand rail while we took off. No one was out in the water that day other than us, but Jeff assured us that the weather was clear despite a choppy harbor. Once we were a little bit off the coast, the seas were straight out of a Perfect Storm. His 22ft. boat crashed up and down each wave as we gripped the handle bars for our lives. He yet again assured us that these are "typical fishing waters" and that we were fine. We went out for about 30 mins before we were all covered in head to toe in vomit demanding to go back to shore. Jeff didn't want to go back and said that the seas weren't even very rough (as he was barely controlling the steering wheel). 45 mins later, no money refunded, we kept our lives and for that we are thankful. We found out that there was a small craft advisory in effect that day, the day before, and for the following two days thereafter. NO charter companies were out during those days, yet Jeff assured us it was normal. Save your money, time, and your life.

Initially coming here to kill a little time before a reserved tour, my wife and I really admired…read morethe planning and execution of the building/landscaping of this family park. Named after a pillar in the community who came to Kauai in the late 19th century, Lydgate Beach Park is 62 acres, with the Lydgate Park pathway encompassing 2.5 miles, a small part of the much larger Ke Ala Hele Makālae costal trail. There is plenty of parking, with both dedicated surface lots and street parking on the paved road. We immediately noticed surfers on electric surfboards out pretty far, even on this windy day. At the northern part of the park is where most people gather, close to modern facilities and a manned lifeguard station and a large covered event area with plenty of parking. Closer to the shore, we saw a seal just lying on the land, bathing in the sun, completely ignoring the people milling by. The very large safe man-made swimming/tide pools are great for the kekei and others, with constant refreshing of sea water over the lava rocks. There are picnic tables nearby as well with a lot of green space. My favorite feature are the man-made protected swimming pools, What I loved about it was how spread out everything was, with so many amenities. It just never felt crowded, even if a lot more people came. As we were leaving, my wife mentioned that Lydgate Beach is one of those rare parks where an ocean-loving family would intentionally live close by, just to be near this park.
