    A lifetime experience of fishing!!!

    We had an amazing time with North shore tours. Our guide Johnny was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. He took us to a shore where only our group was present so we had a lot of area to cover and enjoy ourselves in the beautiful day. Almost everyone in our group caught at least one fish. I would highly recommend it.

    Family Fun in Hawaii

    Johnny was a wonderful fishing guide. He had everything ready for our group of 7 and was waiting on the beach when we arrived. He gave us a brief in service and then showed us where to fish. The waves were pretty rough that day, however each of us caught fish. Johnny was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely recommend this company for your fishing adventure. Johnny and his dog absolutely made our time enjoyable and memorable.

    Response from the operator: Thank you! We appreciate you!

    A wonderful morning excursion!

    We booked a morning shore fishing trip with North Shore Tour Guides in Hilo. Kenny was our guide and he was a delight. He was funny and kind and very patient. We learned several new techniques and caught several small fish. It is catch and release but Kenny offered to meet us another day elsewhere on the island and he would show us where and how to catch the big ones to keep and eat. Sadly, we were at the end of our time on the Big Island but would recommend this tour and especially Kenny to anyone.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We will see you next time!

    Long hike with just OK finale!

    We did the beginner hick on the North Shore, it was ok. I had done several hikes on Oahu by the time we did this one and I was expecting something different, perhaps a stunning view like at the top of Diamond head or Pali lookout or perhaps tantalus lookout… it was nice but nothing like the other walks or lookouts. Our guide gave us some info on vegetation and he was nice but I was underwhelmed. I guess we wouldn’t of found the trail had it not been for him since the road looks closed off from the road so we did need to go with him to find the trail and we had lovely people on the hike with us but again I would not purchase this hike as an individual experience. If you purchase the go pass and love hiking just for the experience of walking somewhere without the payout of an unobstructed ocean view at the end of a 1.5 mile hike then this is for you. But again there are other places to hike where the final view is breathtaking

    Response from the operator: Aloha! we appreciate your feedback. We definitely have that hike for the wow factor which is the intermediate hike. The beginners hike is easier for families and an option to have somewhat of the same look at the top just not as high! If you ever come back, I recommend doing the intermediate hike! We appreciate you booking with us! mahalo!

    Hilo Shoreline Fishing: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.

    How much does Hilo Shoreline Fishing cost?

    +

    Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Island of Hawaii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hilo Shoreline Fishing take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Island of Hawaii is not rushed.

    Is Hilo Shoreline Fishing worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Big Island of Hawaii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hilo Shoreline Fishing?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Hilo Shoreline Fishing suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hilo Shoreline Fishing?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Island of Hawaii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Island of Hawaii and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hilo Shoreline Fishing start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Island of Hawaii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Big Island of Hawaii?

    +

    The Big Island is volcano country: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tours, Mauna Kea summit stargazing, night manta ray snorkels off Kona, Waipio Valley lookouts and coffee farm visits. Summit tours have real altitude rules, so we weight safety detail. On Outty we rank every Big Island of Hawaii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History, Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Big Island of Hawaii?

    +

    April to October, though the island runs year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Big Island of Hawaii?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
