Simple: the adventure per se,awesome! The only complaint is when you have to wait all the time in the boat while others do the scooter and you are not provided with a snorkel and a mask or something else so you can keep enjoying your tour. Imagine waiting approx 3 hours in a boat waiting for your turn just sitting there...good tour, but it needs some tweaks

Really great fun. I prebooked this before we left for Hawaii, and had no idea what the weather was going to be like. Unfortunately for us, it was a pretty horrible day, raining lots. This made the ocean choppy. The guys running the show were really friendly and helpful._br/_ Getting into the submarine scooter I was a little nervous, but this was more because of the choppy water. Once I was in and settled myself, it was really good. There is a diver for every scooter, so you feel safe. _br/_ The scooter didn't seem to move much under the water, I wonder if this was because of the choppiness. Anyway, I have never been able to go diving, and so this was the next best thing, and I loved being able to be under the water. They are there every day, so the fish are pretty much expecting you, so you won't be disappointed. There is a photographer taking photos and a video. We paid for both, and for this once in a lifetime experience, it was worth the cost._br/_ We could have gone snorkelling after the scooter, but the weather wasn't good for it, so we finished early and went back to shore. Had the weather been better, this would have been an even better experience. So if you can check the weather forecast before booking, I recommend doing so. But I HIGHLY recommend giving this a go. They say they can even have kids as young as 5 doing it._br/_ Best part... I got to pat a wild sea turtle. Where am I ever going to get that experience again!

Put this one on your bucket list for Oahu! I can swim and snorkel but wouldnt be up to scuba diving so when I found this on Viator for Oahu it ticked all the boxes. Most amazing experience, only short ride out to the scooters and the excellent staff guided us on safety and how to work scooters. You are told how to enter the bubble, a short dunk under water and they position the bubble over your head, you resurface and are inside the bubble, you are breathing air and sitting on a scooter. Each person gets approx 15 mins on scooters with the crew with you at all times pulling you down 30 feet to sandy bottom where you see green turtles and beautiful coloured fish. They come right up to you as there is a basket of bread in your hand to entice them. Photos and a short video are taken of your experience. It costs extra but absolutely worth it as I relive this most amazing experience regularly. When not on the scooters you can snorkel around the boat and this was just as amazing as a turtle decided to swim through the snorkellers! All snorkeling gear is provided and you must use fins as the currents around the boat are pretty strong. Crew wonderful, boat clean, with plenty of fresh snacks and soft drinks. The restrooms in the office are just alright but just do it.

It was amazing!! It was beyond professionally organized and so much fun! Let me start off by saying that I can’t swim - and it didn’t hinder me from doing this. They have one professional diver per person. It was the most awesome thing I’ve done on any vacation. I highly recommend it!! Do it!

This experience is a lot of fun. They let you snorkel while you're not on the scooters, and we saw sea turtles and fish of many sizes. There is no coral or other sea life in that area. The water was a little rough and they recommend life jackets while snorkeling unless you're a strong swimmer, a good suggestion. They provide these as well as wetsuit shirts and snorkel gear.

Great family fun! The dive team was friendly, helpful and made our entire family feel safe during our dive with the turtles. Submarine Scooters, great concept. We had a blast.

I very much enjoyed my scooter adventure. The water was warm and there were a vast number of fish and turtles to enjoy watching white either on the sub or snorkeling around. _br/_ My only issue was that it was impossible to get back to Waikiki from the venue. We literally waited 2 hours, one hour for the bus that never came and then one hour for a taxi one came but took someone else while we were waiting. _br/_ I would suggest they provide a shuttle service or at least book taxis for their customers who haven't got their own car.

We went the day after a big storm so the water was murky and it was still a lot of fun.

We booked this experience for 5 family members, only one of which has SCUBA experience. My hope was that this would be a good introduction for those without. The actual scooter experience was fun, but frankly not as fun as SCUBA. You have a diver pushing and steering your scooter the entire time. On the day that we booked, the weather was pretty inclement. We called the company to confirm that we were still good to go out. They said it would be fine. When we arrived at the boat, we were advised that it was extremely choppy out on the water, so we should throw up off the back of the boat. About 50 of the people on board did indeed get sick. The diving experience lasted about 25 minutes, but there were only 8 scooters, so the rest of the time - about an hour and 40 minutes - were spent in the cold rain fighting back nausea. The crew said that the morning excursion on the same day was just as bad. My recommendation is to try this experience if you are keen, but dont expect this company to look out for you! Even better, try an intro to SCUBA experience and give this one a miss.
