    Our family did the Niihau & Lehua Scuba Adventure and it was AWESOME ! Clay, Tom & Savannah are amazing. It's a FULL day of adventure. 2 hour boat ride out & back. 3 tank dives. Each dive site was totally different. We have some aweosme shark & seal experiences. Beautiful wildlife! The food was fantastic. They really took care of us and helped make memories that will last a lifetime!

    I have been diving with Bubbles for many years. Even before the current owners who have run it for quite a number of years now. I dove with this crew yesterday and the gear was brand new. Attention to detail. Humor. Knowledge of the territory and the wildlife. I went out with a different company a week ago just to fit another dive in. The difference is remarkable. With unnamed company the boots were worn through. I soon learned why as the fins proceeded to wear holes in my hide and now I get to deal with that throughout my vacation. Trust me... Clay and Blondie at Bubbles are the real deal Kind, and yet serious about safety. Go with them.

    Everything you would want from a dive shop. Safety, knowledge, and fun. Blondy, Clay, Manny, and Tom are all great fun and great personalities. DMs with expert eyes both above and below water.. we took a few whale detours and Manny was spotting Honu silhouettes from 20ft away in mildly cloudy viz, not to mention all the rarer smaller critters. Looking forward to diving with them again when we eventually come back for Ni'ihau.

    Great view!

    Great experience! I went on the dive as a swimmer/snorkeler while my bro and sis in law dove. Clay and team were awesome and made sure everyone was safe and had a great time! Blonde is awesome too!! Swimming with spinner dolphins was epic.

    Bubble Below gave us an amazing scuba diving experience. From Blondy in the office to Captain Clay and Divemaster Jake on the ocean, everything was top notch. They focus on safety, being good to the environment and having fun. As new divers we felt super comfortable and would absolutely dive with them again. They took us to an excellent spot where we saw pretty much everything under the sun, it was amazing! Mahalo Bubbles Below!

    Happy Dive Team!

    Bubbles Below runs a class act from the moment you book until you leave the boat. Blondie is very colorful and has a sparkly personality at the office. Clay is not only a great Captain, but he is funny and keeps a careful eye on the customers and crew. Dive master Jack was extremely educated on all the sea life and was fun to dive with. My wife Summer and I couldn't have been more happy with our two tank dives and the service. Thank you Bubbles Below! Keith and Summer Haviland

    Bubbles below was a great Dive Team to get certified with. My family including 11 y/o daughter got PADI open water certified. Jake was amazing, super patient and very helpful. Clay, Matt and Tim great on the boat. Blondie was great to work with to book our trip and all the logistics/paperwork. The dive sites were amazing and saw sharks, turtles including a Hawksbill, eels, Eagle Ray, barracuda, and to s of fish including frog and lion fish. We saw a few Dolphin and whales as well. Very relaxed and fun group. I'd highly recommend taking classes or strip with this Dive Team.

    Rock formations and fish near Ni'ihau

    We dove with Clay in September 2022, and I highly recommend the company. We did three different dive sites, two near Kauai, and one off Ni'ihau. Clay and his crew were professional, courteous, and effective. The gear they provided was in good shape. Divemasters Jake and Mercedes were very good guides too, taking the time shepherd the group and show us the wildlife. The two local dives were pleasant, getting us back to diving condition after several years. The Ni'ihau dive was extraordinary, and well worth the premium; we saw a couple monk seals, sharks, and the dive sites had very interesting geography, formations and arches, plus all the critters you'd expect. However, the boat ride back to Kauai from Ni'ihau was very unpleasant, with a strong headwind making the sea quite agitated; one diver had to get a strong dose of medicine to knock them asleep, and I had to keep my eye fixed on the horizon to keep my stomach in place. All the bumping up and down, for three hours, gave me a strong headache. I wish Clay wins the lottery, so he can get a catamaran. Or, partner with the snorkeler company that used a catamaran to get to Ni'ihau. All this said, I do recommend people do the Ni'ihau dive, at least once.

They were organized, professional, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. We traveled the morning of July 9th (for credit to our crew). We did the breakfast/lunch snorkel and Nāpali coast catamaran. What stood out most was how well they cared for everyone on the boat. They were constantly checking in to make sure guests were comfortable, helping people safely up and down the stairs, serving food and drinks, and making the entire experience feel like an all-inclusive resort on the water. Every crew member was kind, upbeat, and made you feel like they were truly happy you were there. Our captain was fantastic--he was fun, knowledgeable, and full of interesting information about the Nā Pali Coast. We never felt rushed, and they even stopped so everyone could take photos of the breathtaking scenery. We traveled with our 15-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter, and both had an amazing time. There were also several younger children on board, and the crew was wonderful with them as well. The boat was clean, spacious, and easy to move around, which made the trip comfortable for everyone. The food was delicious, and the entire day exceeded our expectations. As if the stunning coastline wasn't enough, we were lucky enough to see two different pods of dolphins swimming alongside the boat--an unforgettable experience! The biggest compliment I can give? The next morning my 10-year-old daughter asked if we could book another trip because she loved it that much. If you're considering a Nā Pali Coast tour, don't hesitate--book with Blue Dolphin Charters. It was worth every penny, and the views are truly once-in-a-lifetime.

We passed by a Captain Andy's catamaran during the tour, and ours honestly looked better.

The food was also surprisingly delicious and honestly, it was even better than the food we had at the luau we went to! Overall, it was an awesome experience, and we'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kauai.

Captain Max was incredible--his sense of humor kept us laughing even as the rain and mist rolled in. The two women on the crew (I wish I could remember their names) were fantastic, making sure everyone was comfortable and answering all our questions with a smile. The playlist on board was spot on, setting the perfect vibe. I wish I could find it on Spotify! Despite the weather, the views were breathtaking, and getting a little drenched just added to the adventure. The food was delicious, especially the smoked pork, salad, and fresh fruit, and my husband loved the mai tais. Even without the sunset, the whole experience was magical. After chatting with other travelers, I'm convinced we had one of the best tours available. especially after talking to a couple at our hotel pool who had paid more than we did and only got snacks limited alcohol. I can't recommend Holo Holo Charters enough, and I'm already looking forward to trying their breakfast or snorkel cruise next time. If you're looking for an amazing adventure, this is it!

Price was $250 per person and we booked a couple days before the tour date. (we went at the end of March - the weather was fantastic and not too hot, also not raining). Although it was pricey, I felt like it was worth the experience and highly recommend anyone do a tour, even if it's not with this company. We got back to shore around 7-7:30pm, so total time was 5 hours ish. Pros: - the Na Pali coast is BEAUTIFUL - the views were truly a once in a life time experience for me and I saw the fullest rainbow I've ever seen - The tour guide was super informative, we learned a lot about whales, and they also taught us a lot about certain mountains and waterfalls that we passed on the Na Pali Coast (like where Kauai kings were buried). - We stopped to watch whales multiple times and it was really cool! - The 3 staff working on board the ship were extremely helpful in answering questions, providing drinks, and instructing people from a safety perspective - Safety - I felt very well taken care of the whole time. It's a barefoot cruise but people can choose to keep their shoes on if they want. They provided bags for people feeling nauseous and gave good advice when people were feeling seasick. - Food provided - it's not fine dining or anything (chicken teriyaki, salad, etc) but it does beat having to pack your own food or go hungry around dinner time. Also unlimited alcohol or nonalcoholic drinks. - The staff helped us take photos and there's a lot of great photo opportunities at the coast - Champagne toast at sunset, which was beautiful to watch out on the water - bathrooms available on board - My husband didn't feel like eating on board due to the motion sickness so they were kind enough to pack a to-go box for us! - Parking was easy and the meet up location was easy to find - we stood outside for most of the ride since it felt better than sitting inside, so we did get a bunch of sea-spray and got super wet from the 10 ft swells, but it felt really fun! Cons: - I think they need to put a huge disclaimer with statistics or something to show people how common it is for people to get seasick and vomit. I think maybe 5 people from our whole boat got really sick and either fell or vomited during the trip (can feel a little weird enjoying the beautiful view while someone smells like vomit next to you lol). They do tell you at the beginning that you can walk away and get a full refund after hearing the captain briefing during the meet up starting spot, but I don't think they really emphasize just how many people get sick. I personally felt fine but I felt really bad for people who had to gut through the five hour round trip feeling terrible. bring Dramamine!! This was definitely a highlight of my first time in Kauai, I wouldn't necessarily do it more than once due to the price, but it was a fantastic experience for the views!

    DRAMAMINE, y'all…read more You're choosing to do the Na'Pali coast from the North Shore, which means smaller boats, and choppier waves. I took one Dramamine, the night before. Then another, an hour before our departure. AND THE BOAT RIDE WAS GREAT. I was all smiles and adventure and breathing -in the ocean air and wind! Unlike, a few folks, who were NOT doing so well. (One or two barfed over the side, but thankfully I didn't notice. Know how your body handles boats and waves. Don't do tours like this, without proper prep. It will NOT be fun if you underestimate it.) Check-In staff was super friendly, and personal. They remembered me from my original email. Sweet. Parking was easy. Shuttles team was super friendly. The strangers we rode with, all turned out to be cool. 2 boats go out (mini-catamarans, with cover from the sun). They expertly traverse the waves, and cliffs, and the caves, giving you some amazing first-hand visuals and photos. But yeah, that boat will be a rockin', during those up-close cave moments. Spoiler: You probably won't see whales, unless you're there before May. But we DID see a cute pod of Dolphins, who cozy'd up to our boat for a while. Our boat had Casey and Spencer. They were wise beyond their years, in all things Kauai. Funny and friendly. Spencer navigated the heck out of those waves, while Casey handled the nauseous passengers with MOTHERLY CARE. Spencer was 50/50 on allowing us to snorkel, based on conditions and a previous scare, a few weeks prior. But he ultimately made the call to GET IN THE WATER. He wisely kept us on a leash (not literally), whistling at swimmers when they got too close to a reef (with waves that could wash you onto the reef). It was fun and chill. Saw a HUGE, MASSIVE KING DADDY SEA TURTLE. He did not enjoy us as much as we enjoyed him and he bounced. Followed by a JR. Turtle, who stuck around a bit longer. Tons of fish. Spencer & Casey gave us good food and hike recommendations, and everyone treated us like friends / family. Highly recommend this team if you're going out. And you already know I highly recommend some Dramamine.

I…read morewas scared to hike as I'm not physically fit for that and helicopter rides were a no for me. So I opted for a boat tour! I chose makana charters because of how detailed they were in their information as different tours tour the coast in different areas. With this tour, included lunch and snorkeling. What I didn't want was a fancy lunch because what I'm really there for is to see the Na Pali Coast and everything else was just an extra for me. The lunch was very simple which I like especially because it can get very nauseous. I wanted to do the snorkeling part, but I also wanted my husband to do it, but he's not a confident swimmer so I stayed with him and watched people snorkel which was totally fine. We did the early morning tour and it was beautiful! The weather was perfect! Our tour guides went around us as we were enjoying the way to the coast and asked us where we were from. They also showed us the forbidden island and told us some history of the island and how certain areas locals would camp but a permit would be needed. They also tried to get into caves as deep as they can go and also showed us where Mary J Blige recorded her music video for everything. We also saw some dolphins going and come back from the coast! The coast was just as magical and beautiful!

Some positives about this tour includes: free parking by their main stop, an emcee that was quite hilarious, a boat captain that made the boat ride at 15 knots super fun, and some history lessons along with the tour. So what was wrong? The area where we were snorkeling was quite bland. We only saw a few fish and didnt see a turtle until after we all got on the boat. After only about 30 min of snorkeling around I was bored (they give you an hour). At the beginning of the tour we were told that if you feel sick at anytime, to let them know and they'll have some remedies. Well...when I came back on the boat after snorkeling, I started feeling woozy. It was mainly because the boat was anchored and started swaying. I did take Dramamine an hour before the trip so that helped a little. I told one of the crew members how I was feeling and her suggestion was, "I would stand in the back so noone will see you get sick. Also, I wouldn't go in the bathroom because the enclosed space will make you feel worse." Not the remedies I was expecting. haha. I did not take her advice. Instead I stayed standing in the front and looked at the horizon as everyone else was enjoying their sandwiches and chips. The captain, at least, gave me a little piece of mind by telling me he'll have us back on shore in 50 minutes. So I stood there, feeling like I was on a speed boat, jumping with every big wave, wind blowing my hair and salty water on my face. Surprisingly, I felt better after that ride back. But I felt a whole lot better being on land.
