  • Awesome dive shop. I did 5 days of back to back trips and would have done more if I could. Massive thanks to Evan, Jana and the whole crew! They really put so much care into what they do, can't wait to come back!

  • We had THE most wonderful experience being taken swimming with whales and snorkelling at some amazing locations off Alofi. The guys at Niue Blue were so informative and helpful. Couldn’t recommend them too highly.

  • Lee G Very well run, professional, well equipped and friendly organization. Definitely 5 stars!

  • Being new to any ‘Pacific Experience’, for me Niue was a a hidden treasure with the Niue Blue company as the incredible ‘icing on the cake’!! The level of professionalism up-held by the Niue Blue team was impressive. From the outset their HQ was a welcoming space, the equipment distributed to us was new, clean and great to wear & use, the transport & boats modern, clean, comfortable and fabulously manhandled, and health & safety was a number 1 priority demonstrated by the incredibly friendly, engaged and passionate staff. The Niue Blue Experience is a very obvious Must Do when visiting gorgeous Niue. THANK YOU Team!!

  • Absolutely loved our trip out whale watching. Swimming with the humpback whales and dolphins. Just so mind blowing. Great team of people. Highly recommended.

  • We went to Niue in July and stayed at the Scenic Matavai resort. This was very handy as Niue blue was right through a very pretty path from the resort. We had a wonderful time on the boats with the awesome crew. We got to see dolphins and snorkel with a range of sea life in breathtaking crystal clear waters. One of the owners Jana, was SUPER helpful and a very lovely person. She helped us out all week with anything, really embracing the kind Niuean culture, she even found us a last minute hire car! We loved every minute. Sadly, we were too early for the whale season but we were able to do another snorkeling tour which was again incredible. We hired two of their electric bikes which was a great experience as we were able to slowly explore the island. Also along with snorkel gear which was fitted perfectly for us and helped us to enjoy the beautiful ocean. Thank you Niue blue!
