A Big Island vacation excites the senses and inspires the adventurer. You can hike into a volcano crater, catch marlin weighing hundreds of pounds, discover our universe from the top of Mauna Ke'a, and outstare a shark from the safety of a submarine porthole. The Big Island has the world's most active volcano: Kilauea has been spewing lava intermittently since January 3, 1983. Vacation secrets abound; let us provide you a guide to the Beach and Ocean, Land, Volcano, and Bargains of the Big Island. BEACHES Hawaii's pristine beaches abound. There are 80 or more beaches, and new ones are formed when molten lava shattered as it hit cold ocean waters. Beautiful marine life can be observed by snorkeling or scuba diving from boat and from shore. OCEAN Spectacular crystal-clear Hawaiian waters await you. Experience the stunning corals, fish, turtles, dolphins, and whales that populate the islands. Kayak across the blue water and marvel at the scenery in paradise. Don't forget your underwater camera! SIGHTSEEING Hike to a scenic waterfall. Relax on a black sand beach. Explore ancient Hawaiian ruins. Experience the different climate zones, beautiful plant and animal species. Many sights and species are native only to the Hawaiian Islands. Take ample photos and videos to cherish your vacation. VOLCANO Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, offers scientists insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and visitors views of dramatic volcanic landscapes. KONA Kona is famous for sportfishing, snorkeling, sunsets and coffee. It means leeward in Hawaiian and stretches along the isles west side. The northern portion of the Kona side is also known as the Kohala district. You will see strikingly different terrain features as you travel up and down the coast. HILO Historic Downtown Hilo is alive and bustling. More laid back from the hustle of more touristy Hawaii, one can find great bargains in this quaint town. Its diverse shopping opportunities, small scale, and friendliness makes Hilo an enchanting town to visit and explore. With lots of rain, you will find Hilo exceptionally green and fertile. 2006 All Rights Reserved - Contact Let's Go Hawaii - Links Travel Resources Discount Hawaii Airfare Kona Hawaii Hotels Vacation Rentals Vacation Packages Rental Cars Hilo Hattie - Souvenirs Tours and Activities Discount Calling Cards Hawaii Travel Links Hawaii Library Maps of Big Island Travel Guides Hawaiian Islands Diving and Snorkeling Photo Galleries Hawaii Photos Hawaiian Sea Turtle Volcano Photos Sunset Photos Diving Photos Send an e-Postcard Hawaii Souvenirs Hawaiian Shirts Macadamia Nuts Hawaiian Flowers Kona Coffee Hilo Hattie Store Hawaiian Surfwear Hawaiian Shirts Guide Books Macadamia Nuts

Fishing off Maui, Hawaii: info on maui fishing, sportfishing and shore casting Fishing on Maui Hawaii Information about Maui fishing, sportfishing, and shore fishing in Hawaii. If you don't want to view with frames, visit our alternate site: http://www.mauifishing.com . Here's my site map for your convenience: WELCOME PAGE Frequently asked questions about Maui fishing A partial list of Maui fishing charter companies NOTE: I recommend only Maui's best sportfishing operators. These are the boats which fish every day, keep their equipment in good shape, and employ skilled and experienced crew. DESPERADO SPORTFISHING Lahaina Maui HINATEA SPORTFISHING Lahaina Maui (highly recommended) LUCKEY STRIKE II Lahaina Maui PIPER CHARTERS Maalaea Maui RASCAL CHARTERS Maalaea Maui (highly recommended) START ME UP SPORTFISHING Lahaina Maui (highly recommended) STRIKEZONE SPORT FISHING Maalaea, Maui (bottom fishing too) KANOA Lahaina Maui (light tackle, great with kids) About the author of this site: Aloha! My name is Mike Crawford. I've been fishing in Maui waters since the late 60's -- professionally for over 25 years. I don't operate my own sportfishing charter business anymore. Instead I rely on my experience to personally direct Maui visitors to the fishing operator which best fits their needs. At Fish Maui.com you'll find thorough, honest information about the Maui sport fishing industry. When you arrive on Maui, you're gonna find yourself BOMBARDED by activities agents -- 90% of whom know abolutely NOTHING about fishing. Most are profit driven, and will do their damndest to book you on a charter boat which pays the highest commission, regardless of the quality of the trip. I run FishMaui.com because I REALLY LOVE fishing. If you email me, you WILL receive a personal response in return, typically within a few hours. No canned, impersonal messages, no hype. Simply answers to your questions about fishing on Maui. So for now, surf the site, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email or call me at home at 877-889-7035.
