Traveler Tips

There is also snorkel gear and wetsuits available to use when you are not on the scooter.

If the weather is windy, take motion sickness pills so you can fully enjoy the adventure.

The boat you take to get to the scooters does get very turbulent with the waves, so if you are prone to motion sickness, I would recommend taking some Dramamine before doing this adventure.

Scooter and snorkel

Crystal_M, Aug 2022

We had the best time! It was so cool to see the turtles and get so close to the fish. The guides were so cool and very professional. I loved that we were able to snorkel and swim until it was our turn to get on the scooter. We will definitely do this again on our next visit.

This is a Must-do!

Michallene_T, Aug 2022

The crew was amazing. They were friendly and so helpful. If you have any nervousness, they make you feel so comfortable. Take advantage of the time because it goes fast—go snorkeling as soon as they say you can!!

A must do!!

NormaJean_Z, Aug 2022

The staff was amazing and very assuring of our safety. I was very scared but they made me feel safe. The experience was amazing. A mist do!! Thank you

A very cool excursion…must book.

Chris_B, Aug 2022

Had a fantastic time doing both snorkeling and utilizing the scuba scooter. The guides do a fantastic job of getting you by turtles and fish. It’s a once in a lifetime feel when you’re in the scuba scooters. I’d highly recommend this excursion!

Have to Try and see it to believe it. AMAZING

Tyr_B, Aug 2022

It was the most AMAZING adventure I have EVER experienced. The crew was amazing and made the trip fun! One thing- BEING YIUR OWN TOWELS and if you have bigger than average feet, bring your own flippers for snorkeling. I will 100% do this again!

Disappointed

Rachel_S, Aug 2022

I had higher expectations. First of all, it’s only about 20 minutes under the water. The rest of the two hours you are stuck on a boat with 30 other cold, wet strangers. The snacks are bags of chips and they charge $60 for pictures and one video that they may or may not even send to you. This was definitely not worth the money. The staff were friendly and it was fun enough but it was a little hard to breath in the tank and you don’t go down very deep. There also wasn’t much to see. If they were going to fix this, I would recommend taking less people out at a time. For the amount that I paid for the activity plus the photo, they should have enough to not be greedy.

Super fun, Beautiful Experience and Great Staff!

Mahree_M, Aug 2022

We had a great time and the staff group was awesome! My partner can't swim and they helped give her the confidence to go for it, and she loved it! It was a fun and accommodating group and we would definitely go again. The only thing I wish is that we got to be in the scooter a little longer but we had a full group and everyone had to get their turn, but we got to snorkel for the rest of the time so that was awesome. Definitely recommend!

LOVED IT

Miesha_J, Aug 2022

The water was a bit too choppy for me stomach, but once you get off the boat and get on the scooter you forget about what is going on on the surface. The guides were amazing. They talk you through the entire process even though I was panicking. He calmed me down and then all of a sudden your underwater and looking at the fish and turtles. Highly recommend this experience for any and everyone. TRULY AMAZING

David_M, Aug 2022

Our family had a fantastic time! Would highly recommend this unique experience with Island Water Sports. Great team that are professional and personable.

Swimming with the fishes ;)

Jennifer_H, Aug 2022

We were a little nervous because neither of us can really swim but the staff was amazing. They took all of the fear away with their expertise and attention. We snorkeled, which was a first for us both and feeding the fish right out of your hands under water was unforgettable! Huge thank you to the crew!!!

Amazing experience!

Thomas_R, Aug 2022

Amazing experience, and amazing crew, tip them well, they deserve it! Must do if you're visiting Honolulu.

What an experience

Lori_R, Aug 2022

I was so nervous at first, because I don't know how to swim, but there is someone with you at all times. So, that made me feel a lot better. What a great experience. I am so glad I did it. It was so much fun. The fish come right up to you. I highly recommend it.

Best vacation ever!

Henry_C, Aug 2022

A must do! The water is crystal clear. The fish literally eat out of your hand. You don’t have to know how to swim to enjoy this experience.

Excellent Safety Measures! Fun activity for families.

Karen_W, Jul 2022

My daughter just turned 10 and we’ve been wanting to do this for quite sometime. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but was equally impressed with the safety measures in place. They had one instructor in the water per scooter, and focused on that one person. This saved my worrying about my child getting in and out of the scooter by herself. Crazy enough, they even had some folks on the boat that couldn’t swim at all, that still booked this. They seemed to do well, also. Overall a great excursion with family. They also take photos and videos for you ($20 extra per person) which made our excursion even better. Do recommend!

It was a great...

Kosta_P, Jul 2022
