“This is 100% worth the money. My husband and I had a life changing experience! We loved it so much we ended up booking it again a few days later after going the first time. Triston was phenomenal and was extremely knowledgeable. He made sure we were comfortable with the equipment and was super patient with those who needed a little more help. Safety was his #1 concern so we felt like we were in good hands. This was my first time snorkeling and the sea scooter made it easy to just relax and be able to enjoy the view. Triston pointed out all the cool things to look at…”

2.E-Scooter Snorkel With Photo and Video At Turtle Town

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 142 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $159

Meet at Makena Landing at 7:30 a.m. for a small-group Turtle Town snorkel using controlled sea scooters. Guides such as Joe, Rachel, Shelby, and Alec provide safety help, point out turtles and reef life, and take photos. Light swimming ability is required.

“Disappointing customer service. We booked 6 people for this trip specifically for the e-scooter portion. Otherwise, it’s very easy to rent or bring your own snorkel equipment and find great places to snorkel. When we got there, only 2 of the e-scooters were working (and one of them broke during our tour). The guide told us “well they were supposed to call you last night to tell you but I guess they didn’t.” The snorkeling experience itself went fine, but the price is certainly not worth it without the e-scooters, and they didn’t even have the courtesy of telling us ahead of time that the scooters weren’t functional. The guide…”

Meet your guide at 200 Hui Road for a three-hour Kapalua Bay snorkel tour limited to five people. You’ll learn to use Yamaha sea scooters, explore reef areas near rocky points, and look for turtles and fish. Guides such as Barbie, Martin, and G have earned praise for patient instruction and warm, personal service.

“This was the BEST snorkeling experience I've ever had! The "scooter" (Kind of a James Bond propeller engine you hang on to) made snorkeling so much better! You could go farther faster, get down easier, and you didn't even need flippers! Barbie gave a quick "course" in how to use the scooters and took us to an uncrowded beach where we got some close up encounters with several turtles and, of course, a ton of fish. I never want to do just a normal snorkeling trip again! From now on, nothing but Snorkel scooter for me! Prior to this, I had done a normal snorkel tour to Molokini and "Turtle…”

5.Turtle Town Underwater Scooter Snorkeling Tour with GoPro

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $149

Meet your guide at Maluaka Beach for a 90-minute guided sea scooter snorkeling tour. You’ll receive fins, snorkel gear, a scooter, ocean-safety instruction, and GoPro access while looking for green sea turtles, coral, butterfly fish, eels, and frogfish.

“I took this excursion with my partner and her 84-year old Mom…James had the patience of a saint, making sure Mom felt safe and comfortable (though she opted out and decided to just float while we explored the reef). Mom was more confidant when we booked this, the open water maybe being more intimidating in person than looking online, though just getting out to float by herself at that age is more than most. First time either of us had snorkeled using sea scooters, probably not the last. They are pretty handy seeing more, and help swimming against the tide/currents. James showed us a great time, and even helped us…”

Certified scuba participants use lightweight underwater scooters to explore coral, lava features, fish, turtles, and possibly caves. The group is limited to four, with equipment, snacks, and guide-taken photos included.

“We did 3 dives with Never Dry and Mike and enjoyed them all. He was very professional but also super helpful, flexible and very knowledgeable on the fish and other little animals. He also took a bunch of photos of us and what we saw (loads of turtles, sharks, lobster, octopi, shrimp, etc) and emailed them to us. My highlights were all the caves we went in, the incredible visibility out on Molokini crater and the whales singing all the time.”

We were very surprised since he’s usually timid. But our little fish was in his element and our instructor gave him courage! We would totally do it again!”
