Sounds like you had the trip of a lifetime mate,spinner dolphins are incredible when a large pod perform,any plans on going back?

IVE BEEN TWICE MATE AND WHILST ITS A SPECIAL PLACE IVE DONE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING I WANTED TO.IT TAKES 28-30 HOURS TRAVELLING ASWELL WHICH IS A NIGHTMARE.(TAXIS,3 PLANES AND WAITING IN AIRPORTS)

 

AND IT COSTS ALOT AND IM ALWAYS SKINT SO MAYBE ITS GOING TO HAVE TO BE TURKEY OR SPAIN FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

 

I DO FANCY GOING TO AMERICA SOMETIME TO DO SOME TERRIERWORK AND PIG HUNTING OVER THERE.

 

I THINK MY HAWAIIAN HOST IS MISSING OUT ON NOT GOING AFTER THE MONGOOSE,RATS AND ROCK WALLABIES PLUS WILD GOAT THAT INHABIT THE ISLANDS OF HAWAII BUT THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT PIGS.

 

THERE WAS A POD OF AROUND FIFTY.THEY WERE IN QUITE SHALLOW,MURKY WATER BUT WERE CLOSER THAN WHAT THEY WERE THE LAST TIME I WENT IN THE WATER WITH THEM.

 

THE HIGHLIGHT WAS SEEING A WHALE SHARK.

I was in a canoe in the Bohol straits a few years ago,the sun was just up,I could feel the heat already,and a LOT of spinners were performing around us,great sight,been in the water with a whale shark in Thailand,but your pig hunting sounds as if it would eclipse any other experience

I DONT KNOW MATE,BEING IN THE WATER WITH A WHALE SHARK WOULD BE SOMETHING SPECIAL.WHEN I FIRST SAW THAT ONES FIN COME OUT THE WATER I THOUGHT IT WAS A HUMPBACK THAT HADNT LEFT LAST MONTH WITH THE OTHERS.

 

 

the shark was caught 0.6 mile off waikikki beach.the boat dosent use anything to draw fish in exceptu the bait on the hook.they cant be seen to encourage sharks into the area incase one of the thousands of people who swim off waikikki gets bitten or eaten.

awesome, more pics please!

 

did it rain every day, were you staying with locals or in a hotel?

[pointer 543]

there were a few showers like i expected at this time of year.hawaii had a small heat wave with temps upto 87.some days were overcast looking because a volcano on another island was spitting out fumes.

 

i stayed in a hotel and didnt take anymore pics,i prefer to video stuff.

 

on the second hunt it rained hard for about an hour which made the forest floor really slippy.you could hurt yourself in that place,they wore funny looking shoes with a spike on the front.
