Did you know that Hawai'i has game animals to hunt? Looking to possibly make a trip to Hawai'i and do a little hunting? Contact us today and we can put you in contact with a hunting guide!
Here is some helpful information on how to acquire your state hunting license along with hunting rules and regulations.
According to Hawaii law, all hunters born after December 31, 1971, or before January 1, 1972, and have never held a previous Hawaii hunting license, must complete hunter education certification in order to purchase a hunting license in Hawaii. All U.S. states, provinces, and countries that have mandatory hunter education requirements will accept the Hawaii Hunter Education Certificate. Likewise, Hawaii will accept Hunter Education certifications that are issued by other jurisdictions that meet official IHEA-USA requirements. (This is known as “reciprocity.”)
