10/10! Such an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!! Everyone is extremely kind and patient. Explained exactly what we would be doing multiple times. Definitely a bucket list experience I recommend everyone to do!!! Be weary if you are claustrophobic. Can be scary at first but so worth it.

The experience was wonderful. You don’t need to know how to swim to do this. The crew was amazing and very patient. We can’t wait to see the pictures. Stay for a bite to eat at the restaurant. The food was delicious! Kudos to the chef.

It is fun, however, you don't see alot of different types of fish and no turtles. Staff was very nice!

Research hypocopnia before you do this. We consider our experience a dive accident, and I will be reporting it to DAN.
Within less than 5 minutes of starting, we had all the symptoms of CO2 toxicity: breathing became abnormal, we felt starved for oxygen, we had headaches, and mild panic developed. By the time we got to the (unfortunate) fish feeding/photo op, I signalled a guide to give me his alternate air mouthpiece. That was around 10-12 minutes from the start. The guides stopped the activity for everyone and took us back to the mooring station. We improved steadily as soon as we got into air at the surface. We informed staff that we had had a very bad experience, and they asked us to stay to talk to someone. We sat alone and recovered on their patio, but left after a few minutes. At no time did anyone check on our health or sit with us to make sure we recovered.
Here are some things they should have done:
1. A complete safety review of what to expect, including how the scooters and helmets functioned. There was no explanation of normal and abnormal breathing.
2. No explanation for how to signal a guide (who you often could not see) if you were in distress. Knowing hand signs isn’t enough.
3. Take malfunctioning equipment out of service. My “scooter” was not functioning properly, and the guide had to frequently come operate my power controller when it didn’t work.
4. Have procedures in place to immediately treat accidents.
Other:
1. I am an experienced scuba diver, which helped me deal with this incident. But children, non swimmers, etc would probably not know what to do if faced with similar experiences.
2. There was little to nothing to see in this activity: no fish, no wreck.
3. Feeding fish (white bread in this case) is never acceptable. I was embarrassed and angry that this happened where they took photos of us. Not a memory I’m happy to have paid for.

This was a great experience. My friend can’t swim and she had an amazing experience underwater. The instructors were so helpful. The experience was beautiful to see all the fish.

Our party of 4 did the Aquafari recently. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Instructions and signals are paramount to a good experience. Beware of the large rope as you exit the inlet and when you return. This is as you begin trying to navigate the driving of the aqua-scooter. The coral appeared to be dead or at least unhealthy, which was sad. Few fish on our trip. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because we didn't see much more than you would actually snorkeling. 12 feet deep was definitely better than snorkel-depth, at least in my case, but in retrospect it seems a little pricey albeit truly unique.

Absolutely wonderful first time adventure for us. Staff made us feel safe and comfortable during entire excursion from hotel pick up to sub adventure to return back to hotel. My wife wanted to go back in immediately after our dive ended, lol! Highly recommend if never done before!
Theresa_C, Aug 2026
We absolutely loved this excursion! The staff were amazing and made us feel very welcome. I can’t get over the gorgeous waters, and beautiful sea life we were able to see. Highly recommend!

I purchased the digital copies of my photos and paid the additional $15 to have them emailed to me. I was told I would receive them by email, but it’s now been 7 days and I still haven’t received anything. I checked my spam folder as well and still nothing 🤔
Sheila_H, Jul 2026
A little nervous at first. Be sure to tell them if you need more 02. The scooters are easy to navigate thru the water. Tour guide awesome with the pictures
Melvin_W, Jul 2026
It was a great experience. The staff was great and work very well with the kids. Was not too far from port, great location.
Amoriah_P, Jul 2026
Exceptional service, thoughtful divers. What an amazing experience. Fed the fish and to be able to scooter underwater was a dream. My husband can’t swim and they made him feel comfortable getting on the scooter. Great food too

I had an amazing experience with this water activity! From start to finish, everything was well organized, safe, and so much fun. The staff was friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable before we got started. The equipment was in excellent condition, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area, and I can’t wait to do it again. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We booked the Aquafari underwater tour for my daughter’s 16th birthday, and overall it was a great experience. The staff was friendly, and the professional divers were kind, patient, and very attentive.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to complete the tour because the pressure in my ears became too uncomfortable. As soon as I let the divers know, one of them quickly and safely escorted me back to the surface, and I really appreciated how caring and professional they were.
My daughter was able to finish the entire tour, and she absolutely loved it! She especially enjoyed feeding the fish and had an unforgettable birthday experience.
Although I couldn’t complete the tour myself, the excellent customer service and the wonderful experience my daughter had made it well worth it. I would definitely recommend Aquafari to anyone looking for a unique underwater adventure.
Tracey_T, Jul 2026
Worth the experience but lost likely its something I would not do again. We saw similar fish snorkeling. Also one of the machines failed and a piece broke off which left my friend feeling really anxious so she didnt go. It didnt occur to be they should have refunded her entire fee. Either way no regrets but not something I can rave about. Staff were friendly and engaging.
Desiree_T, Jun 2026
If you love sea life & water activities, this is a must do!! The staff makes sure you're knowledgeable b4 going in & are constantly checking on you to make sure you're good throughout the experience. We got to feed some fish even, it's great!!
takiya_h, Jun 2026
What can I say other than this was AMAZING and is a must on your itinerary. You will never be able to be up close and personal with the underwater life more than this. From beginning to end, the guides and instructors were knowledgeable, patient, experienced and fun. The subtle underwater touches were top tier. Also, I was so excited to be surrounded by the different types of sea creatures, I was reacting like a child with such awe and disbelief. Round of applause for Aquafari and it's staff. I hope to experience this excursion again. Thank you for providing such a memorable lifetime experience for my fiancée and I.

Great experience for all ages! Instructors were very patient and continuously checked on all participants.

This experience was so much fun, we saw numerous fish and even a turtle. Can’t wait to see the pictures when they come back.

This was a fun and unique experience. The main challenges to be aware of would be if someone has claustrophobia, ear issues when it comes to pressure from elevated heights and depths and being self aware of yourself to be able to communicate with the divers when you need assistance with more oxygen or the pressure is too much or your just not feeling well even.
Overall, everyone was friendly and patient. You watch a informational/ safety video in advance. The photo package wasn't very expensive. There's a bar where you can get non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks for a cost, not included. And you can also arrange transportation if you don't have a rental. That cost is a bit expensive. Also, there are some medical instances that may prevent you from participating so that is something also to make note of before booking.

The experience was really nice but I paid for photos and videos during the underwater aqua scooter experience but was never sent the footage despite me reaching out to them.

Fun but no fish. Yes, it was a cool experience but I would do this same thing somewhere else where there actually some fish. The tour operator coxing some fish to come close with food for a photo Op doesn't make it worth it.
Marco_H, Apr 2026
Don't panic! You will love that you try something new, and get to see some amazing underwater sights. Highly recommend, don't miss doing this if you have the chance!
Yasmin_S, Apr 2026
Was so cool 10/10. I’m claustrophobic and it did not bother me one bit. So happy I went for it!! Just do it!!
Akerya_B, Apr 2026
