I will be flying into Honolulu. I want to see some sharks and lots of different kinds of fish. Where should I go?
Lots of different kind of fish . . . Hanauma bay Pretty safe dive. It is a fish sanctuary. Go beyond the reef. We usually came around and enter into the bay. If you are lucky, you might run into a big sea turtle. If grab its back shoulders, you can take a ride on it.
Lots of sharks . . . Mokuleia (People have been eaten there by the sharks. Definitely, not a dive without experience there.)
There are a lot of sharks in Kaneohe bay. I would not go diving there. We have fished for sharks there.
On maui, some catamaran tours take people out to molokini. You can dive in the crater there.
I have dived off the mokuluas and in the channel by bellows in the mornings. We mostly laid net back in some time ago. Usually a lot fish in the mornings, but you probably have to set up a tour. Not necessarily a good dive to see fish.
If you do set up a dive tour, the shop will most likely have some good ideas.
do you need a liscense to bounty hunt in Hawaii?
yes ask Dogg
We would love to go to Hawaii next year (March or later) and wanted any input on the best time of year to go, where to stay, vacation packages, etc. We have 5 kids (ages 4, 5, 10, 12, & 14) also, so activities for the whole family would be awesome. Any help is greatly appreciated!
That sounds like a great time to visit the islands. I’m sure you already know to avoid travel during any holiday as rates go up everywhere on the planet.
Since you have 5 children with you I would recommend staying at one of the larger resorts who now have programs for the kids. Your 12 and 14 year old are probably not going to be interested in the same things as the younger kids, but some things are great for the whole family, like the historical tours.
Regardless of where you decide to stay maybe consider hiring a local tour guide. The cost of the guide will more than pay for itself. Just book a guide through the resort, travel agency, or through Maui.net. There are so many free and fun things to do but most are not on the tourist maps. If they were then it wouldn’t be free anymore. A local guide can show you the places that local go. I am actually surprised that nobody has recommended this yet. Do not accept any guide who just approaches you are the airport or on the beach. On Maui this might be safe but in Honolulu the crime rate is just as high as any other major city and yes they do target tourists.
Anyway, Maui is my favorite island. Lahaina has all the historical sites, plus there are plenty of beaches you can go to like the park at Kihei, dive shop right across the street to rent a few masks and fins. The kids can take turns swiiming right off that beach where there is almost no current so it is fairly safe and you can see so many tropical fish, just swim right along with them. Get some of those little inflatable arm bags for the younger kids. A guide can also arrange a trip up to Haleakula park where you can go down into the crater of you like. You could rent a car and make it yourself but you would miss so much.
The only problem I see is for your 4 and 5 year olds who are just a little too small to avail of a lot of the activities. This is why one of the larger resorts who have programs for the yound kids would be a great choice.
Anyway check out http://www.maui.net to find a guide or the best prices on hotels, resorts, everything you need. This is a local website run by some guys right in Kahului, Maui..
I honestly don’t think you can have a bad time on Maui though. But do be careful in Honolulu where there is crime just like any other big city. I would get off of that island as soon as possible as all of the other islands are pretty safe. Honolulu is also a port city so plenty of shady characters around. Maybe contact Hapa Travel in Maui when you get there for more info about getting around the islands.
Have a great time
Who is the better Golfer, are there any golfers who could answer this Question?
Limbaugh ended up in the Hospital over there, chest pains,.. do you think the mere thought of having Obama so near almost gave Rush a heart attack?
Rush Limbaugh is more of an American than you and all other Liberals are put together. He rips you guys to shreds daily and will continue to do so on his hospital bed.
Yup, going to Hawaii for Christmas break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but, not much of a beach person. what kind of fishing can I do there? I honestly have no idea.
also, the techniques too.
freshwater or saltwater. preferably without charters.
I know you already put fishing in hawaii in the white box above because I know how smart you are. (just in case you might have forgotten here is the link)
I suggest you take a snorkel and fins and spend as much time under water everywhere you go.
