    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.

    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!

    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.

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!

Our group had 14 people ranging in age, and somehow Captain Rob and Logan managed to make the entire experience incredible for EVERYONE. These two were exceptional. They matched our energy perfectly, kept the vibes fun and upbeat, and made everyone feel comfortable and included. The conversation was engaging, hilarious, and never felt forced. They were also incredibly knowledgeable about Hawaiian history, the surrounding area, and all of the amazing sights we passed along the way. I learned so much while having an absolute blast. One of the coolest parts of the entire excursion was getting to ride into some of the sea caves! It was such a unique experience and definitely something I'll never forget. Captain Rob navigated the caves with such confidence, skill, and expertise. You could tell he knew the waters extremely well and knew exactly how to navigate those areas safely while still giving us an incredible experience. And Logan was the perfect co-captain. The two of them worked together so seamlessly and were clearly in sync throughout the entire trip. It was obvious that they trusted and complemented each other, which made the whole experience feel effortless. Logan was attentive, helpful, knowledgeable, and just as much a part of making the day amazing as Rob was. And then there was the way we came back into the dock with AC/DC's *Thunderstruck* playing. THE PERFECT ending! The energy was absolutely unmatched, and our entire group was having the time of our lives. Rob and Logan truly made this excursion what it was. They were professional, knowledgeable, personable, hilarious, and genuinely fun to be around. More than anything, they made our entire group feel like we were there to have an amazing time... not just on a tour. If you're considering booking this excursion, DO IT. You won't regret it. The scenery, sea caves, Hawaiian history, adventure, laughs, music, and especially the crew made this one of the absolute highlights of our trip. A huge thank you to Captain Rob and Logan for making our day on the water so memorable! We came back with huge smiles, great stories, and memories we'll be talking about for a long time.

    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.

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!
