As an experienced snorkeler, I prefer regular snorkeling, as you have more control, but I would highly recommend this for non-swimmers. The submarine scooter goes anbout 10 ft down annd goes very slowly while tethered to the boat. Even for experienced snorkelers, you still get time to just snorkel. The crew were fantastic! There were lots of fish and several green sea turtles getting groomed by the fish. I had a great time!

The guides are awesome! My wife was so afraid of the ocean and going in they were patient, funny and were attentive to her above water and below.
Linda_B, May 2026
Excellent service by the entire crew. There were several of us who were abit nervous about diving down in the water. Everyone had an experienced diver throughout the entire activity to ensure our safety and guide us down to see 👀 the sealife below. You could go snorkeling while you waited for your parties turn to go down. The crew members were all professional, kind and friendly people. Highly recommend. Special thanks to Finn, Boom and Uncle for making this an awesome experience.

Amazing experience! Highly recommended for anyone. The guides are always with you and never felt scared.
Kellie_J, May 2026
Anyone can do it. Once in a lifetime experience. The guides were awesome. They also give you lots of information about the island.
Kelly_V, Apr 2026
Even if you are scared do it. I almost came back up but talked myself into staying. Glad I did it. Was worth it
Ricardo_P, Apr 2026
The crew was great 👍👍 submarine scooter was really cool. Bring your own towels sum people may get sea sick

They are making a fortune of these scooters $200 for 20 min in water max depth 10 feet. Not worth the price and when got to shop they had some completely other deal. I was 10 min late it’s far away 1hr from most places keep that in mind had to pay $20 for water taxi which was reasonable. If you know how to snorkel just do a snorkel tour which range from $60-120 and you get up to 3hrs on water. I would maybe do this activity if it was $80 but $189 is a rip off. Everything in Hawaii is expensive
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Aloha,
Thank you for your review. We do want to clarify several points for accuracy.
Our tour is priced at $180 and includes approximately 20 minutes on the underwater scooter along with about 80 minutes of snorkeling time. It is not a 20-minute experience, but a full excursion of water activities, combining both components.
All guests receive detailed location instructions at the time of booking, as well as a reminder the day prior. As noted during your call with our office, the location had not been reviewed in advance. You arrived approximately 40 minutes after the required check-in time, which impacts scheduled departures for all guests.
Despite this, our team made an effort to accommodate you by arranging a discounted water taxi at $20 (standard rate $50), which is not always available on short notice.
We stand by the value of our experience and the efforts of our staff to assist guests, even in challenging situations. We encourage future visitors to review all booking details carefully and allow sufficient travel time to ensure a smooth experience.
Mahalo.

I am a no swimmer, and was for sure apprehensive about doing this. But they were great with me! Capt Boone stayed with me throughout the whole tour! It was amazing! So glad I didn’t chicken out! I highly recommend this!
Sarah_K, Apr 2026
Can I give 10 stars?! This was so incredible! They said it's one of only 3 places in the world that you can do this and let me tell ya, it's worth every single penny! My dad is claustrophobic and was apprehensive but we each had our own professional diver with us so it was 1:1 and they pointed out fish and turtles and took amazing care of us!! My only one minor* complaint is that it was loud in there with the oxygen flowing but you're only in there for 20 minutes so not long but like I said, worth it! Dad hasn't stopped talking about it so that's saying something from him!!

Bring your own towels to dry. Bring waterproof filming equipment because it will get wet. Your face will get wet. Your hair will get wet. You are required to dive under water for a short amount of time. Only light snacks and water are provided on the boat. No place to change so you gotta already change first before getting onto the boat.
Veronica_M, Apr 2026
This was the coolest experience ever! Couldn’t recommend it enough! My fiancé and I were so excited to do this on our week long vacation in Hawaii and it didn’t disappoint!! You go in the water in the scooter for 20 minutes and you get to see turtles and they have a bag of fish food attached to your scooter and it makes all the fish come real close and swarm around it’s so awesome! We even got to see some dolphins while we were out there.
Vandana_P, Apr 2026
Perfect for non swimmers who want snorkeling experience. I was very nervous and excited but this was my most memorable experience ❤️
Matthew_M, Mar 2026
Very easy! 10 out of 10!!! The crew is amazing. No bathroom so make sure to go before. And get the pictures!!
Angad_S, Mar 2026
Once in a lifetime experience. Had tons of fun, excellent staff and divers. My wife doesn’t know how to swim and she was able to do this comfortably thanks to the divers. We both enjoyed our 20 minute experience thoroughly and got good pictures out of it.
Kaelor_B, Mar 2026
Such a fun experience. The divers were all so nice and informative and made the experience such a good time.
Carrie_H, Mar 2026
The Captain’s were great and very knowledgeable. This is an experience and not just another tour. They are great with all ages and swimming abilities.
Nancy_M, Mar 2026
Great staff, very professional and friendly.. We would recommend this submarine scooter tour. We also were able to do a little snorkeling.
Maggie, Mar 2026
The crew were nice. They have free snorkel equipments that we can use when others are driving with the scooter.
The scooter have this loud and high pitch sound... my friend can barely stand it, and also the pressure went high, so she finished her scooter experience quickly. I guarantee you that it is really loud and uncomfortable. But I wanted to see the turtles so I stayed..
I didn't see the turtles when driving scooter, but I did see it when I was free snorkeling around. It was fun. The crew taught me how to snorkel and put on everything. Love them.
Daniela_O, Mar 2026
I had an amazing experience doing the submarine scooter dive! The entire team was professional, friendly, and made us feel safe from the moment we arrived. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the whole experience very relaxing and fun.
Riding the scooter underwater was such a unique and unforgettable way to explore the ocean, we even got to see some beautiful marine life up close. Everything was well organized, and the staff made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the dive.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something exciting and different. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and I’ll definitely do it again on my next trip back to Oahu.
James_R, Mar 2026
It got canceled due to rough weather. It would have been wonderful if the weather had been better. This would have been our second time. The crew was great and we had a wonderful time. We saw lots of fish and turtles.
Saijal_K, Mar 2026
Overall, this was a cool and unique experience in Oahu. The crew was friendly, helpful, and made everything feel easy and safe. I did expect to see more marine life than we saw, but we did get to see some sea turtles so would definitely recommend if you want to do something different while visiting Hawaii. We also went on a day when the weather was very windy so the ocean was choppy, be prepared for sea sickness.
Dillon_P, Mar 2026
The water was kinda rough the day we went out and the girls were a little nervous on getting in, but once everyone was in the water and lowered down it was great. Very neat experience none of us will forget.

What a amazing way to see the sea turtles and tropical fish. You can snorkel while waiting for other groups to go and there are all kinds of fish to gaze at.
sierra_k, Mar 2026
Me and my husband had such a great time, got to see lots of fish and a turtle. It was such a once in a life time experience. All of the guides were so friendly and helpful. I was a little nervous going into it but they were so patient and helped everyone feel comfortable. They provided snacks and water. And while we waited for out time to go into the scooters they provided snorkeling gear to kill the time! A great time overall.
PriyankaReddy_D, Mar 2026
Soooo good! We enjoyed it a lot. The instructors were friendly and supportive—kudos to them! It was lovely to see the fishes. I’m a non-swimmer, and I still felt comfortable. Highly recommended!
Judith_K, Mar 2026
My husband and I had a fantastic time SNUBA diving. The best way I can describe it is that it’s like riding a motorcycle underwater with a large helmet that allows you to breathe and go deeper into the sea. It’s truly an experience you don’t want to miss.
The crew was very friendly, helpful, and made everyone feel comfortable. There were a few people on our boat who were not strong swimmers, and the crew took extra care to make sure they felt safe and confident. After their SNUBA experience, they were already saying they wanted to do it again!
My husband and I had a wonderful time and took some great pictures with our underwater camera. We also purchased the photo and video package, and we were very glad we did.
This is a must-do experience — you won’t regret it!
Marianna_A, Mar 2026
What an incredible afternoon adventure. The staff that is included is so kind and so patient and so skilled. Once you’re underwater it’s like no other experience. Hats off to an amazing staff who patiently helped everyone have a magical time.
Alena_M, Mar 2026
This is a great experience. Unique and exhilarating. For those who get motion sickness, take medicine beforehand.
