We loved our time with Blue Wilderness Dive Adventures! A great crew took us out-- Flipper, Colin and Sam. Thanks guys for an excellent adventure. The two tank morning dive this week departed around 7:45-8am. There were three of us with one dive master, Flipper. Mahalo!

We had a great time and appreciated all the knowledge and information that was given to us about the local area, and ocean wildlife. Would go back again.

We did the snorkel and dive manta ray excursion and couldn't have been happier! The guides (April, Flipper and captain Mike) were enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They easily accommodated people of all different skill levels and were sensitive to a swimmer with medical conditions. They provided all the equipment - wet suits, snorkels, masks and dive gear for the scuba folks. The mantas were active and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The swim itself was 30 min. The boat ride was about 20 min including putting down the anchor. I cannot recommend them enough!

THE. ABSOLUTE. BEST. EXPERIENCE. EVER!
Flipper, Sam, and Colin made this adventure the greatest experience of our entire vacation. I can't recommend Blue Wilderness Dive Adventure any more. You've never seen Manta Rays this close and will NOT be disappointed.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Fred C.Chula Vista, CA017Jul 20, 2023Updated review
Great two-tank dive! Hats off to Dive Master Flipper and Boat Operator Colin who took great care of us! Not a cattle boat operation which is great. Lots of local history and interesting information on all of the marine life from Flipper and Colin. A great time!

What a great day! The crew Flipper, Steve, and April where friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable. Just one thing... if you dive with them you better be up on your Caddie Shack movie lines.

I've been out with this company on multiple trips for many reasons. The reef is great. The visibility is usually amazing and you can get 2 full dives in and still be back by 11:30am. Seems like some other companies actually come to the same area from further away. I always see amazing marine life. On my last dive a few weeks ago, I saw a manta ray, turtles, shark, octopus, eel, went through well lit swim throughs and saw several endemic fish. The staff works hard to make everyone comfortable. There are some beautiful beaches to visit next to Puako Bay too. In my last review I said they did not take us into deep water, but they certainly did this time. Flipper is good every day, but better on Monday.

Great diving and back around 12pm after 2 tanks is a win. Short boat rides to the reef. Nice staff. Dive sites are shallow which some like and some don't. The cookies are almost as good as the diving. - Brandon H.West Monroe, LA01Jun 22, 2023
Our two tank dive with Blue Wilderness Dive Adventure was everything we expected and then some. Flipper and Collin went above and beyond to make our experience one to remember. My wife was on her first ocean dive post-certification and was a bit apprehensive. Flipper stayed with her for the entire dive and put her mind at ease.
If you are debating whether to bring your own gear or rent, don't be afraid to choose the latter option. The gear provided by Blue Wilderness was far better, both in condition and level of function, than any rental gear from any other outfitter I have used.
We have already booked a night dive with Blue Wilderness, and if we have time may try to fit in another daytime dive before we grudgingly head home to the mainland.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Evelyn C.Henderson, NV8010664Sep 14, 2022
April, captain mike and flipper are masters of snorkeling, diving and our manta ray experience! Kind, funny, and able to help in every way to help ensure a wonderful experience. They provided the gear, flippers and a treat! Thank you for your patience, kindness and knowledge!!!

Did a night Manta Ray Dive with Blue Wilderness.
It is the smaller dive operators like THIS that make diving fun! The DM, Phil was one of the nicest Dive Masters I have ever met! He made everyone comfortable and really did a great job!
The boat is a trailered boat, and the ramp is quiet and out of the way from the hub-bub of the other dive outfits. This made the trip that much more enjoyable.
As I was on SCUBA, my daughter enjoyed the snorkeling experience and she will never forget it!
I would highly recommend Blue Wilderness for any dive!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
