Welcome to Maui! Unfortunately, you only have one day to experience the beauty of our paradise. But is any length of time ever really enough on Maui? Exactly. Millions of people from around the globe visit Maui each year, but a portion of those are only able to visit for a single day, often due to cruise ship time constraints, work trips, or simply a quick island-hopping excursion.
Fishing is central to the way of life in Hawaii. From diving to bottom fishing, thousands of Hawaii residents and restaurants rely on the ocean’s bounty. Step into the shoes of a local fisherman and head into some of Maui’s most prime fishing grounds.
For years, fishing charters around Maui have been showing visitors the ins and outs of trolling and bottom fishing in Hawaiian waters. Home to an abundance of tasty fish, you might catch mahi-mahi, amberjack, snapper, or even occasional ahi. If the stars smile upon you, you might even reel in a massive blue marlin, which will land you on the front page of The Maui News for sure.

I’ll be the first to admit that I was a bit hesitant about going on an ATV tour. We had our kids, 8 and 11, with us, and we shared one 4-person ATV. I was worried there wouldn’t be enough action and view for everyone. As it turned out, we stopped multiple times, so we all got to switch places. But it wasn’t really an issue due to there not being windows. The backseat was just as fun. Here is our experience on the Koloa ATV Tour.
