Fishing enthusiasts, this one’s for you. While it’s true that anyone can fish with a pole on the Hawaiian shore without a salt-water fishing license, there are few places in the Aloha State where you can go freshwater fishing. The next time you’re in the mood for a fun day trip destination the entire family will love, head on over to Ali’i Agricultural Farms where you will discover three well-stocked ponds perfect for casting a line and catching some fish. 

Managed by Ali’i Agriculture Farms and nestled in central Oahu, Fishing Farms Hawaii offers recreational fishing services that are fun for the entire family.
