What we Do?

Fly Fishing in Hawaii! We promote fly fishing, fly fishermen, fishermen and expert guides in Hawaii. We can help you find the right guide for your next fishing adventure on Maui, Hawaii and Oahu. Guides that work with us are experts in locating and helping anglers increase their chances of catching fish in Hawaii. The fish we target are the following in order of significance:

Oio in Hawaiian is known by most as Bonefish or by its scientific name Albula vulpes. The waters in Hawaii are teaming with these elusive, giant, Hawaiian bonefish. They feed on the sandy shallow flats around the islands giving us anglers an opportunity to sight fish for them. We have seen giant bonefish, that are so big... you wouldn’t even believe us if we told you. These bonefish are so enormous, that guessing their weights would make non-believers out of the masses. We guide and teach individuals to catch these double digit fish on their own.

Paopao (Golden Trevally or Gnathanodon speciosus) are an extremely rare fish to catch, yet we provide the opportunity to catch these on the flats in Hawaii. Theses Goldens feed in the shallow sandy bottoms; the same as the bonefish, and when they do, we have the opportunity to hook them on the fly or by rod and reel. Most times, these fish are in the deeper waters, feeding on crab, mantis shrimp and other crustaceans and food sources they can find. If you do catch one of these fish, you are on a short list of individuals who have accomplished this challenge.

We have teamed up with fly fishing captains to bring you the most knowledgeable guide no matter where you are fishing.

Our website serves as a resource for all your fly fishing questions in Hawaii-FAQ, stories, tips, videos and portal to book tours. We hope you enjoy some of the stories presented on our blog post, and hope it unlocks some of the secrets of bone fishing. We also created a series of videos on youtube to help the novice fly fisher get started in this highly addicting hobby. You may also follow us on facebook and instagram.

We are a small business in Hawaii specializing in Fly Fishing, Light Tackle Fishing, Bottom Fishing, GT Fishing and other types of fishing. We are a USMC Veteran and Hawaiian owned small business operating in Hawaii. We are based on Oahu.

OWNER AND CHIEF CAPTAIN - MAKANI CHRISTENSEN

Born and raised in Hawaii, Makani has been fishing since he was 2 years old. His experience throughout the years include shore casting, deep sea fishing, bottom fishing, cast netting, commercial fishing, ikashibi, spearfishing, and fly fishing. His experience gained throughout the years have added to his understanding of fish habits and movement. This expert knowledge sets him apart from most Charter Captains in Hawaii.

Makani is also the only Captain to have gone to Kamehameha Schools, the Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland, The Basic School in Quantico, and to war. As an officer in the United States Marine Corps, Makani earned his combat action ribbon fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. He was honorably discharged in 2008, at which time he created Keawe Adventures- a company dedicated to private tours ranging from surfing to hiking.

During the infancy of Keawe Adventures, Makani joined a commercial fishing crew to pay the bills. During his commercial fishing years, he studied the habits of fish and their migration throughout the calendar year. Overtime, commercial fishing subsided with the growth of Keawe Adventures. Keawe Adventures employees specialize in World War II History, Hawaiian history and culture, surfing, fly fishing, spear fishing, and hiking. In 2017, Makani separated the fly fishing portion of his business and started Fly Fishing Hawaii- a stand alone company.

Other accomplishments: 2009 Lahaina Jackpot Tournament Winner, 2012 Ironman Finisher, Candidate US Senate 2016, President of Hunting, Farming and Fishing Association, President United States Naval Academy Alumni Association.
