Molokai Fish and Dive

FOOD REVIEW ONLY!!! This is for Ono Fish & Shrimp in the parking lot of Molokai Fish and Dive. I am not sure if it’s the same company. There does not appear to be a separate business on here.
Molokai Fish and Dive has a little trailer just to the left of the main building (when facing from the street) that sells lunch from 10am — 3pm from Wed — Sat. THIS IS THE BEST FOOD ON THE ISLAND!!! No lie. I wish they were open everyday.
It’s a low-​frills food truck type of place. They use fish caught from the fishing excursions. We learned this from Captain Tim during our snorkeling adventure.
Order at the window. Take it to go or eat at picnic tables behind the trailer. They bring it out to you if you dine on-​site.
I had the taco plate which consists of two tacos with a hot or mild sauce, spanish-​style rice, and choose from a salad or kimchee cucumbers. I chose fish and shrimp tacos with the hot sauce and the kimchee cucumbers.
The tacos were EXCELLENT! The fish and shrimp were grilled. They were served on corn tortillas (important to someone needing gluten free). In addition to the hot sauce, they come with sliced red cabbage and a mango pico.
The spanish rice was basically basmati with some chili powder. Simple, but tasty. The kimchee cukes were tasty as well.
My wife had the daily special — grilled freshly caught ono with a garlic sauce, white rice and the kimchee cucumbers. Again … they nailed it! The fish was cooked perfectly. It was the quality of something from a high-​end seafood restaurant. No old or dirty fish taste. The sauce was a great accent to it.
I wish we had known about this place during our first week on Moloka’i. We would’ve hit them up at least a couple more times. This is a must stop for everyone on the island — local or visitor!

We are visiting from Oahu and we just want to say that Gabe was amazing and made our diving experience here on Molokai one to remember! Captain Tim was great too! We will be back for sure!

We had a great time. Tim and Gabe were great. The two sites they picked worked out great. The trip was a lot of fun and we saw plenty. Sea turtles and so many fish. The coral was also beautiful. I know they are the only ones on island but they are still very good. Not a big operation like on Maui, but they show much Aloha.

We just came back from a great vacation on Molokai. Unfortunately we did not do any diving since Molokai Fish & Dive is the only dive company available. We booked a snorkel trip with them first-​thinking it was a good way to check them out before booking a bunch of dives. Boy were we glad we did. The snorkel trip was just ok. The first site they took us to had horrible visibility. Instead of going somewhere else they made us stay there for 40 minutes. Here’s a suggestion… maybe send Gabe in first to evaluate the viz before sending everyone in. That way if viz is bad you can go to a different site… I mean we are in a boat so we could actually move to a different site. The second site was great– we saw turtles, an eagle ray and a Manta ray. Visibility was 80+feet like you expect in Hawaii. The swim step was broken so we had to get out of the water without it. And the owner’s daughter sat at the back of the boat and watched everybody struggle to get back in the boat without offering to help. We are used to dive operators like the ones on Maui and the Big Island that are incredibly helpful so it didn’t make us happy.
We also spoke to the two divers that were on the boat with us and they were not happy with their dives or their rental equipment. Needless to say… We decided to save our money. We did several snorkel trips right off the south shore beaches and saw lots of fish. We will come back to Molokai but unless things change or another dive operator comes in we will dive elsewhere.

I had a brief, yet good experience at this store. There was an adorable black cat who liked me a lot too. They are open early and sell a lot of stuff and gear, but I just got some coffee. In my two visits, the people working here are very friendly.

We arrived on time for a snorkel but the boat was reserved for a private party and we were asked to get off and come back later. We were disappointed.

Our family of 4 had 2 tremendous dives today. 6 divers total and 6 snorklers. There was plenty of room on the USCG certified boat. Gabe is a great dive master. We went to a turtle cleaning station. Amazing. He also took us to see a group of 6″ seahorses. No joke. Chris was a knowledgeable captain and the gregarious Tim was quite the host. Highly recommended.

We booked three excursions thru Molokai Fish and Dive. Owner Tim was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating of our schedule. We did a early morning whale watch with Tim and his deck hand Gabe. Saw lots of humpbacks including one that swam right up to the boat and put on a close up show for a good ten minutes. Next day, early on Christmas morning, we chartered Tim’s boat for a fishing trip for our family of six. Barely out of the harbor hubby caught a beautiful mahimahi. A couple hours later my son-​in-​law brought in a barracuda. All the while we saw great humpback displays in every direction and learned a lot about island life, history, and politics through discussions with Tim and Gabe. An incredible trip we will never forget!
They also arranged our guided hike to the falls in Halawa Valley. Our guide, Greg, was a native of the valley and knew a lot about the history, culture, flora and fauna. Another excellent adventure!
Tip for hike: bring mosquito repellent!

AWESOME! Tim and Gabe were great instructors.
Gabe gave us great training in the pool, explained all the safety steps and procedures in case of emergency and helped us get familiar with all the gear.
After that it was straight to the open water. We trolled around til they found some clear water and we jumped right in. Tim helped us get acclimated to the depth and there was a lot of neat fish and very up close coral. We brought our GoPro camera and it worked out great.
Highly recommend them if your on island. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

One look in Molokai Fish & Dive and you know these guys are hard core. How nice it must be to be the big fish in a pond as nice as Molokai. Whatever they have going in Molokai, this seems the place to get hooked up. From a short glance, the prices seem reasonable also. Good work guys.
I’ll give ‘em five stars for being as good as it gets on Molokai.

Great place and very nice people. The captain and his helper really look out for you. Remember to get your gear the night before from the store in town. The water and visibility is very awesome.

We booked a snorkel trip through Molokai Fish and Dive and had a terrific day! There was only one other couple in group which made for a far more personalized experience. We were able to visit two different sites along the huge barrier reef of Molokai’s southern shore.
The variety of marine life is endless. From over twenty species of butterfly fish, to the state fish Humuhumunukunukuapua’a, there is something for everyone. We also had the luck of swimming alongside tons of sea turtles, definitely my boyfriend’s favorite part! The corals exhibit a wide of array of colors from yellow, to blue, to lavender.
Have experienced other snorkel adventures in Hawaii this was one of the better excursions. It seemed as if we had the entire ocean to ourselves. We could snorkel at our leisure and weren’t surrounded by a hundred other snorkelers splashing about. The crew provided drinks, snorkel gear, and wet suits. Even with the warm tropical water the wet suits were great! Wearing them allowed us to snorkel about longer without getting chilled as quickly.
Make sure to bring a towel, sunglasses and sunscreen! It can be very sunny and windy while traveling to and from the various sites.
Check out Molokai Fish and Dive, they are sure to please!

molokai fish and dive is the about the only company on the island for outdoor sports. tim is the dive master and is laid back and easy going. the dives are fairly easy with tons of hard corral and lots of turtles. the bcs and regulators are good but id bring my own wetsuit and fins.

Google «activities on Molokai» and Molokai Fish and Dive is one of the first things that comes up. They’ve got pretty much every activity from whale watching to hiking dialed in. The BF dropped them an email and pretty much just gave them the dates we were going to be there and said «we want to do stuff!»
They booked us for whale watching, hiking to Halewa falls, snorkeling and coordinated our mule ride to the former leper colony. We just had to show up!
There was a bit of confusion about what day we were booked for the always sold out mule ride but the mule people were able to work it out, albeit on a different day than we were told we were booked for. But we got to go, so all was well.
I would definitely recommend Molokai Fish and Dive for all your Molokai activity scheduling needs!
