Review of Ni’ihau scuba trip from Kauai: fast crossing, small groups, monk seals, sharks, equipment, lunch, costs, and booking tips.
“Hands down, this was the BEST experience! First off, Nick and Jessie are adorable. The entire day felt like we were hanging out with close friends on their boat. Nick is a confident sea captain so the ride to and from Ni'ihau in the winter (which typically could be a bit bumpy) was safe and smooth. Jessie's love for the ocean and it's creatures was contagious. During our dives, she enthusiastically guided my family of 6 through what is clearly her favorite place on earth-pointing out curious Hawaiian Monk Seals and gorgeous sharks. On the boat, she shared her knowledge of all the creatures around us-giving us an increased appreciation.…”

“Parking and check-in was easy with Jeff. Great dive shop too. Carlo’s was our guide, he is the man! So cool, like diving with a friend. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He showed us what we needed to know and off we went on our two tank dive. The spot was amazing with great visibility. He knew right where to go to see large schools of fish, turtles, and he had an eye to spot Octopus. We encountered at least 5. Seaport has great reviews for a reason. They are excellent.”

“People were nice but there were a few issues with the guide flags in the sea, they were too further out which meant going up and down all the time to check we were in the right place. Apparently this was incorrectly placed by someone and moved by the current. We also were in a group with a little child and it was his first time so he struggled. We are not allowed to be separated so if the child couldn't dive we were told to go up again.. It was so messy and we waited so long to dive that i got sea sick and i gave up. So…”

We saw lots of turtles, eels, a lion fish and an octopus. We went early and were under for an hour. Great dive”
Swim with wild Hawaiian green sea turtles at Koloa Landing on a guided Kauai shore scuba outing for certified divers.
“Natalie and I were on Kauai with the Pride of America and I booked this dive for one of our days in port. I have a few dozen dives logged, but this was her first after certification and first in actual open water. Carlos was a great guide; got us geared up, dive/safety brief, and kept us on track for two amazing dives. We didn’t see an octopus, not for lack of his trying, but we did see dive with more sea turtles than I could keep count of…highly recommend!”
