Located in the rustic Central Oahu community of Wahiawa, Ali’i Agriculture Farms presents visiting fishers (with kids in tow) with one of the more unique experiences they can enjoy on the island. The recreational fishing farm has three ponds that are teeming with healthy tilapia, catfish and grass-carp. There is also a separate pond for prawn fishing. Armed with a traditional bamboo pole, you and/or your kids are practically guaranteed to hook a fish. If you want to enjoy your fresh catch on-site (instead of relegating it to the mini-fridge in your hotel) you can use the farm’s cleaning and cooking service for a small extra fee.

While this activity isn’t for everyone, it’s a huge draw for fishing enthusiasts along with those who appreciate how closely fishing is tied to the melting-pot cultures of Hawai’i.
