We were warned by staff, but I will say this again for them... if you've gotten seasick at all in the past, make sure you take Dramamine the night before, and the morning of the trip. Both our boys got seasick by the big swells we experienced. Ulu (captain) and crew were very accommodating and helpful the whole trip. We even went to see Ulu play music at a local restaurant a day later. Overall it was a great experience.

My wife coordinated this outing for my family in honor of my birthday, and it didn't disappoint…read more Our boat with 6 people caught 30 amberjack and skipjack fish. Parking is available near the boat for a pay by hour cost using one of two apps. Their timeline for return was accurate, and we even got to a point of being out where we had enough and were ready to return a little early. Bathrooms are available in a nearby building with key from the boat, or on the boat itself. A majority of the people on the boat took motion sickness medicine prior to the trip to avoid any issue. It was consistent waves the whole trip with no stopping so be prepared. The boat has a covered area with table and seats, along with air conditioning and fans. We brought some snacks and a cooler with drinks and food that we put out on the table for all to consume as desired. The crew put the lines in the water for the large fish which we didn't catch any of. Apparently the reel spins when a fish is on the line and you jump on it to reel it in. I've never been sport fishing to know the feeling of reeling one in or seeing one reeled in. After some time waiting for something to hit and everyone getting tired, they put the smaller poles in the water and allowed people to hold them trolling. This is how we caught the fish we did catch that ranged in size from probably 12-20". They put up a little fight and we lost a few along the way that could've been much larger but we'll never know. Upon return, a neighbor boat gave us a 25 lb fish they caught since the crew was cleaning our catch. I don't eat fish but my wife is very happy with what we brought home. The crew was very helpful in trying to provide a pleasurable experience by helping with the poles, advising, and cleaning fish to take home. Overall a great experience and we would likely return hoping to catch something larger.

I've been dropping by every time we're back on the islands for over 20 years, and it's still the first stop off the plane. I will say though, service can be a little rough sometimes. Some days are good, some days not so much. But honestly, that's never been the point of this place. You're not coming here for some polished haole sales pitch of some sort, you're coming because these guys know what they're doing and they'll get you what you need so you can get back in the water. And that's where they really shine. Need a j tube? They've got it. Need a new band? They can fab it up in like 5 minutes so you can still make it to the spot on time. They almost always have exactly what I need in stock and at a fair price. You'll see some of the best divers in the islands and honestly, some of the best in the world just casually stopping in. The shirts and designs are also totally underrated. They've got their own local style and I've of course picked up a few over the years and they hold up good. Hanapa'a is one of those rare functional places you can always rely on. it's rooted in the community, and it delivers when it counts. If you dive, you already know. If you don't, this is where you start. Just don't be a Karen and you'll be good.

Ocean Blue Hawaii is amazing! My mother in law (husband's mother) came to visit us from Texas and…read morewe reserved for the 12:30pm-4pm rotation since there's 8am-12pm and 4:30pm-7:30pm. The crew were awesome. Aunty and unka were awesome, both local and the other crew members and driver were both amazing. There was a lot of us on the boat, 41 of us, most not from here and some local (you can tell). We were already provided a fishing pole and lots of bait which they give you a cup full of bait. A few of us caught fishes. We stopped in 5 different spots to fish. Some were shallow and some were deep and since it's Hawaii waters, it was easy to see through the ocean water even while it was deep. Gotta be careful if you bring your kids, they really have to hold on tight or stay seated (dont recommend sitting on railing for kids) as the boat starts going because it's a bumpy ride with all the ocean waves and it's possible they could fall into the water if not careful but no one fell in and there's life vest available that the kids can use. They tell you what they're not responsible for before you board the boat so any kind of purses, phones, or etc...thats all your fault if it goes into the ocean. I mean makes sense...at least it's not like going to Mexico and it's shady and probably don't have any life vest available lol After we caught the fish, uncle (locals call each our elders uncle or aunti or if they're older than us but if they look the same age then we say bruddah or sista...) cooked some of the fish we caught and glazed it with secret sauce which had a spice taste to it. It was so ono (delicious)!!!!!! I recommend going to this tour! It's cheaper if you get your reservations through navy exchange or military. It was exciting and so much fun even for a local like me (filipino hawaiian) and it's probably much more exciting for visitors coming to Hawaii. It was a blast and you can bring your own beer.

Avoid This Tour - Unprofessional and Poorly Managed I had a…read morevery disappointing experience with this fishing tour and would strongly advise others to avoid it. First, the check-in address provided in the confirmation email was outdated. I followed the instructions, took an Uber to the listed location, and only discovered it was wrong after calling the company. I then had to take another Uber to their actual location to make it on time. This kind of logistical error is unacceptable and shows a lack of basic communication. When I finally arrived, I was told I needed to pay an additional $2 due to some law. That would've been fine -- if it had been mentioned anywhere in the confirmation email. Worse, they only accepted cash, or required a minimum $10 purchase to use a card. I didn't have cash on me, and when I asked if I could Venmo, the front desk staff rudely repeated that it was "cash only." When I asked where in the email this was mentioned, he falsely claimed it was included -- but when I showed him the email and asked him to point it out, he avoided the question and repeated the same line. There was no apology, just a cold attitude. In the end, other kind tourists helped us out of the situation -- not the staff. As for the tour itself: the instruction was minimal. When I asked how I would know if there was a bite, I was simply told, "You'll know it," with no further explanation. My fishing spot was poorly placed -- right in the middle of one side of the boat -- and with the wind, my line kept getting blown underneath. I kept recasting, but it didn't help. Eventually, a staff member tried fishing from the same spot and caught nothing either. Clearly, this was a bad spot for fishing in those conditions, but they assigned it anyway. Overall, this tour was disorganized, poorly managed, and left a very bad impression. Save your money and book a tour with a more professional, courteous company.
