Venture Wildlife Snorkel Charter from Ko Olina

My wife and I booked this trip as our big-ticket adventure of our Oahu trip, and it lived up to it and more! We left Ko Olina on a beautiful morning, with our kids (14 &11) excited to fish. The fish weren't biting before we headed to the snorkeling spot, which was awesome with a turtle really close by and tons of different fish. That's when the skies opened up and a thunderstorm came out of nowhere. We scrambled back to the boat and our captain Mark booked it for better weather. With the marina blocked by the t-storm, he set the lines back out. And boom, 20-lb Ono! And then on our way back in, an 11-lb Mahi! Our mate Lindsey (who was awesome), said it was the biggest fish she has seen on the boat, and then the first Mahi. So I don't mean to set an expectation of a great catch if you go. We were super lucky, but it absolutely made our day and our trip. We kept a few fillets that we bbq'd that night and the rest went to the crew and workers at the marina. I can't say enough of the trip. We're extremely thankful for Mark and Lindsey. It's a family memory we'll have forever, and they were a big part of it. It was an expensive trip, but they made it worth every penny.
