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!

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.

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!

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.
Zulma_T, Mar 2026
Would definitely recommend to give this place a try. Everyone is super patient especially with anyone who is nervous or afraid to go deep underwater.
Nicole_D, Mar 2026
I was scared at first, to go under the scooter helmet, because I am slightly claustrophobic and not knowing how this thing was going to feel, especially being underwater. Let me tell you, the staff was great. They encouraging me to try this and that I would be ok, they will watch me the whole time.. I was surprised when I got under the helmet, how easy and open it felt. I could breath with ease. There was nothing touching your face or head. There was even room to put my hand up in it and get your hair off your face. This was so amazing and beautiful, something my daughter and I could experience together for the first time. The water was clear, the turtles were amazing and the colors of the fish were like what you see on TV. Great experience you should try. Will definitely do this again.

Our family enjoyed this throughly!! My husband and I are experienced snorkelers (I’m a certified diver) but my 82 year old mother who cannot swim really wanted to try the underwater scooters, so we took her. Wow!! Are we glad we did! She was apprehensive, but the staff took especially good care of her, making her feel comfortable and confident as they helped her into her scooter. After we were all in (super easy process!) it was incredible. We saw fish, so many turtles, and even an octopus that we were able to hold! My mom smiled ear to ear the entire time! The divers in the water with us stayed close by and not only kept us safe, they took lots of great photos for us. I would 1000% recommend!
Arthur_A, Feb 2026
One of the most amazing, breathtaking experiences of my life! The crew was awesome, made sure we had a wonderful safe time!
Caffie_T, Feb 2026
Ladies should know your hair gets wet, there’s storage for your things while you’re in the water on the boat,.The crew was exceptional! Interaction with the marine life was cool. Bring money or Venmo for tips.
Antoinette_S, Feb 2026
Such a great time, the captain and team guided us through everything. Felt very comfortable with there help and enjoyed every moment. Will totally do it again!
Dionne_H, Feb 2026
One of the best things that I've done! Being that I can't swim the divers were very helpful with directing me towards the turtles and fish! Would definitely do this again!
Guillermo_G, Feb 2026
Me and wife decided to do this the day of best decision we made crew was very friendly and funny making jokes with us. They made sure we were safe the whole time and talked with us the whole time.
