We fell in love with the gorgeous Pacific island of Niue, a tropical paradise on one of the world’s largest raised coral atolls. Here, we take people diving in some of the clearest waters in the world, with visibility reaching 80 metres. We take people snorkelling in pristine coves and caves, exploring chasms and reefs bursting with vibrant marine life, or interacting with whales and dolphins in their natural environment – in waters that are warm year-round. We recently purchased Buccaneer Adventures Niue Dive in early 2020, and have renamed it Niue Blue.

In the middle of getting our heads around the planning for Niue Blue, COVID-19 hit our shores and slightly put our plans awry. To put it mildly, probably not the best time to buy a dive business overseas! But we have, and we are pretty excited about it.

We started looking during 2017 and totally fell in love with Niue, the island, the people, its blue water, and its laidback style. Evan and Jana and their family joined forces with Kate and Jeroen, making a pretty strong and passionate team.

The owners in Niue Blue have been in business together running Dive! Tutukaka, operating NZ’s largest dive and snorkel operator out to the Poor Knights Islands for over 20 years, so you can be sure this is not our first rodeo! Combine this with 30 years of an existing Niue dive business, and that is almost fifty years of marine adventure experience – and we are still keen to learn more.

We’re excited to be continuing the existing long-standing relationship with the people of Niue, and further building on the reputation for delivering safe and fun marine adventure experiences from New Zealand into the South Pacific.
