Best adventure in Oahu!

Crew, Equipment exceeded expectation, for swimmers and non swimmers alike. IWS Underwater scooter is an event you will cherish. My wife and I were thankful they could take us on short notice. A complete package from reservation, pick up, instruction, operation, pics and drop off.

I am so glad we did the underwater scooters. Staff was professional and knowledge and very patient with the visitors with a language barrier. Would definitely do this again.

Underwater scooter experience

Reviewed by: TomP, 2018/07/13

This was amazing just like your first zip line experience except with a whole different technology and this time underwater. The staff was awesome and welcoming. Pictures/video for souvenirs and the definite conversations back home were very well done and superbly arranged by the divers - Kudos on the shots!

A Professional diver was assigned to each individual which was reassuring. A sea turtle was by us practically the whole time. Our diver caught an small octopus a let us touch it. The photos and video also was worth buying as many friends at work have enjoyed watching it and would like to try this someday!

Reviewed by: Steve M, 2018/01/02

I was treated excellently and had an absolutely wonderful time. The divers made sure I had a close-up experience with all the marine life. The only thing they could add in the advertisement is to tell clients to arrive wearing swimwear, there are no change rooms on the boat.

ok

Reviewed by: Irene, 2017/12/05

The should have better explained the process. An example would have been better. Also, they should have been more encouraging to those who were uneasy in the water and refunded part of the cost if someone was unable to participate, especially since the water was very rough and it was raining.

Great

Reviewed by: Christine , 2017/11/06

Great time, my husband and I throughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommended this to anyone, at any age, as well as at any health issues, we both felt extremely safe and you did not need to know how to swim.

My husband is not in the best of health and it was a great experience on his bucket list.

  • Really worth doing, I can’t swim and I had no fear whatsoever

Under water scooters

Reviewed by: Alan, 2017/08/23

Definitely the best value, best experience of our holiday. Awesome team, good gear and most probably the best value for money in Waikiki. Thanks guys for the experience, the photos and videos and the care and encouragement you gave my nervous wife, she is still talking about the fish and turtles she saw and how safe she felt in the scooter. Photos are now in pride of place on the photo board at home.

Reviewed by: Kim H, 2017/02/04

FAAAAAABULOUS!! Great, casual way to spend a morning or afternoon. Plenty of snorkeling, splashing, swimming. You can relax on the boat or entertain yourself in the water while you wait for your ride. The people were fun, helpful, and organized. Fish were plentiful. The sea turtle was a special treat.

Scooter Adventure

Reviewed by: Gale Moses, 2016/08/22

It would have been "a once in a lifetime" opportunity in the Pacific ocean in Hawaii. Unfortunately the three of us anxiously awaiting our turn on the underwater scooters became seasick. Had we known the swells of the ocean, from tropical storm Darby, may have affected us negatively, maybe we could have prepared better. Perhaps somewhere in the confirmation the vendor could have mentioned motion sickness and recommended we take or put on something "just in case" we might be affected. My son made it into the scooter gear but came up because bubbles kept getting in his nose, eyes. Others on the boat did have a great time! We won't go again. We will snorkel next time. It just didn't work out for us.

Unique Experience

Reviewed by: Aquablue94, 2016/08/07

You can swim, snorkel or just enjoy the scenery from the boat while small groups take their turn touring the waters below with the scooters. The crew was very helpful and courteous. Everyone had a great time!

  • Paired off with colored bands.

  • Feeding and touching fish!

  • Sea turtles nearby... divers watching over you.

  • You're riding an actual scooter you can move about underwater with!

Must try activity

Reviewed by: Annie, 2015/10/01

The submarine scooter is a must try!! Bring motion sickness pills just in case, I thought I didn't need it but I didn't have any. Doesn't require you to know how to swim, the divers will be with you most of the time and watch you from a distance when you're settled in. Lots of fishes to see. Pictures are taken by the divers and available for purchase sent via email.

Underwater Scooter - Great water experience!

Reviewed by: Marcio Rodrigues, 2015/04/07

My daughter told me about this tour when I was planing my trip to Hawaii. I booked it through hawaiiactivities.com website and I had no problems. They even called me one day prior to my activity to remind me of my pick up time and location.

The shuttle was there on time to pick me up and during the drive and took us the check-in location. After the safety briefing we started the tour.
The crew was really nice and informative. They are very professional and committed to provided us a unforgettable experience.

While waiting for our turn to go, we spend some time snorkeling and relaxing on the boat, Maunalua Bay is a paradise.

Once underwater you have a guide taking care of you during the whole time. It's so wonderful to see all the marine life coming right next to you, I saw dozens of colorful fishes and a lot of turtles.

The underwater scooter was for sure one of the coolest thing I have ever done.
