If you want a great family experience in the water, then this is your excursion! - Met our guide at the simple to follow designated spot in Anini Beach. Our guide Aidden was friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. Spent time getting instructions and pertinent information. Demonstration of the sling and go around for our group then geared up and headed out. You should be comfortable in the water with snorkel gear and expect some current resistance. Once out to our first spot off we went. My Son and I got a fish! I was not expecting to and going in Aidden was clear that he did not catch anything until his 5th time out. Be realistic with your expectations. It is not as easy as it looks but great fun in trying. Once back, Aidden cleaned our fish and we prepared them that night. Great meal. We will book again next year. Thanks Stresak Family

Awesome spearfishing and great instructor - Incredible. Aidden was super knowledgeable and a great, enthusiastic teacher. Showed us an awesome spot and shot some fish! Couldn’t ask for me. Feel more prepared to do it on my own now too.

Great Experience - We had an awesome time with Aidan as our guide. He was clearly very experienced as he told us he would go in and catch a fish to demonstrate to us how it was done. Low and behold he caught a fish within 30 seconds of arriving at the fishing spot. Great dude and very helpful. Our experience was pretty awesome. We went out for a couple hours, saw amazing fish and turtles, and even caught a few fish. Aidan was cool enough to gut and process the fish. Some people in our tour did not catch fish, ultimately I think if you go out there with the mentality that you’ll catch one and aren’t afraid to take shots then you’ll get one. Just make sure it’s bigger than your Shaka. Would absolutely recommend for any adventurous group.

A wonderful activity to learn while in Kauai! - Aidden was a very kind and knowledgeable instructor. My husband and I had a wonderful time learning how to spear fish. We got to take our catch home and fry it up, and it was delicious! Highly recommend!

Great experience. The... - Great experience. The reef is a good distance out. Watch tor tide timings. Low tide makes it a bit harder to head out and back without getting scraped up.

Amazing! - Amazing Day! I was afraid that we’d be in deep water but the deepest was about 5 feet. I saw so many fish and others saw plenty of turtles. We didn’t catch dinner as it was just a day after the rains but it was still worthwhile. If you have any doubt - just do it!

Best activity in Kauai! - This was probably my favorite activity I did during my entire trip in Hawaii and that even includes comparing it to skydiving! I got lucky and managed to see and swim near a few turtles and even saw some large eels! Aidden was great. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. My only warning is that it can require a lot of strength and stamina in your dominant arm because the spear is essentially a slingshot so holding it under tension one-armed while waiting for the fish to get in the line of fire will wear you out.

Cool but not easy - Bought for my husband. Cool learning experience but a little too physically demanding. Instructor was set on taking them about 3 football lengths out in the reef (they had to swim out from the shore before even trying to fish).
