Fabulous experience - I would highly recommend this to everyone. Well organised, helpful staff, who went out of their way to make it an amazing experience for all. Plenty of time to snorkel when it wasn't your turn to ride on the underwater scooter. We saw turtles and lots of different types of fish. The photographer took great photos and a video, which you can pay to download later if you want to. A perfect day and I loved every minute of it.
One tip - take a sweatshirt. The weather wasn't great the day we went. Whilst the sea was warm, we were provided with wet suit tops so we were fine during the activity but we were a bit cold when we got out of the water, during the pack up and the boat ride back to shore.

My son had a phenomenal time and can’t wait to go again. I have issues snorkeling but I was hopeful I wouldn’t have issues with this. Let’s just say I am extremely thankful that I did it once and that the staff was so very patient and helpful with people like me (who have water issues). I can’t say enough about how great the people are who work this tour and everyone should do it (at least once)

The diver propulsion vehicles are an extra bonus that no other tour operator offers that set apart Trident Adventures from others. Will definitely do again upon my next visit to Oahu.

The waves were calm and it was very comfortable.
However, I think it's better for those who are feeling unwell or are prone to seasickness to prepare some anti-nausea medication.
I applied for the photos, but they haven't arrived, so I sent them to another address via email, but I haven't received a response. Please look into this.

I participated with my family in their 80s, and it seems everyone had a great time. The hospitality from the staff and other participants was high, and we were blessed with good weather, making it comfortable. Tropical fish gathered around the food in our hands, and if you're lucky, you might see sea turtles swimming by your feet or right in front of you. I think it's also recommendable for elderly people.
**Notes:**
1. It's best to take motion sickness medication first thing in the morning before participating. A few people forgot to take it and got seasick.
2. After getting out of the water, it gets very cold on the boat, so regardless of age or health, everyone needs to wear beach towels, raincoats, or windbreakers to avoid getting cold.
3. Since it's bright, I think it would be good to bring sunglasses. If you have polarized sunglasses for fishing, you might be able to see into the water from the boat when it's sunny.
80代の家族と一緒に参加しました。とても楽しめたようでよかったです。
スタッフや参加者の方々のホスピタリティーも高く、天気にも恵まれたので快適でした。熱帯魚が手元の餌に群がり、運が良ければウミガメが足元の海底や目の前を泳いでいきます。高齢の方にもお勧めできると思います。
【注意】
①朝起きたら、まず酔い止め薬を飲んでから参加したほうがいいです。酔い止めを飲み忘れて何人か船酔いしていました。
②水から出た後、船上はとても寒いので年齢や体調に関わらず"全員"、ビーチタオルやレインコート、ウィンドブレーカーを着て体を冷やさないようにする必要があります。
③眩しいのでサングラスを持っていくとなおいいかと思います。釣り用の偏光サングラスがあれば、晴れていたら船上から海の中を見ることもできるかもしれません。

Pick from driver was prompt and on time. Once we arrived, we were given very clear instructions once on the boat, all the staff and the captain was very friendly and once we were on our way, everything we needed to know was explained clearly.
The actual scooter came on another boat and we were told how to get in and out of it, and I have to say the experience was unlike anything I've ever done before! We were only about 10-12 feet down but it was so wonderful to be in the water and not having to worry about anything.
The divers were very very professional and attentive, very friendly and very knowledgeable, and once we were done with the scuba scooter experience, it was a nice relaxing time on the boat to either go snorkeling or just enjoy the beautiful scenery around us!
Highly recommended, the staff was absolutely great and the captain was "cherry"!
Will definitely do it again next time we are in Honolulu! Highly recommended!!

Sea walking is available everywhere, but underwater biking is only here!
About 20 years ago, there was one at Manza Beach in Okinawa, but it couldn't operate due to the weather at that time, and it has been gone since then, which I found disappointing!
However, I found it in Hawaii this time and it was definitely the right decision to sign up without hesitation.
It's quite disappointing that the number of fish has significantly decreased compared to the old Hawaii, but considering this attraction over the fish, I definitely recommend it!
シーウォークはどこにでもあるが、水中バイクはここでしかない!
沖縄にも20年くらい前に万座ビーチにあったが、その時は気候でできなく、それ以来なくなっており残念に思ってました!
しかし今回のハワイで見つけて迷わずに申し込みをして正解だった。
魚の数が昔のハワイに比べてかなり減っているのが残念でならないが、魚よりもこのアトラクションって考えると是非おすすめですね!

I haven't received any updates regarding the photos taken underwater. Aside from that… the instructor was kind and pleasant, and the fish that came close were incredibly moving, almost like the images I had in mind.
You can experience the same level of excitement while scuba diving, but since my wife can't swim, the underwater scooter was a lifesaver.
[Additional note] I posted this, but after the VELTRA help desk contacted the organizing company, I was able to obtain the photos, so I changed my rating to the highest.

Loved going snorkeling with Trident Adventures! We ended up doing a last minute upgrade from the snorkel package to the PADI Skindiver Program and it was so worth it. The main thing the upgrade got for us was the use of one of their DPVs, which is an Diver Propulsion Vehicle. Its basically an underwater scooter that you hold on to and cruise around. It was a little awkward at first, but with some tips and pointers from the instructor I was able to get the hang of it and had so much fun cruising around the reef! Apparently these things are very expensive, so it's very unique for a dive shop to have them available to non-SCUBA divers.

This was one of the best activities I tried in Hawai’i.
The crew were friendly, helpful and always made time for you.
The trip out was fun too.
The Underwater Scooter was easy to navigate and the crew always helped if needed.
The video of the trip was worthwhile purchasing, as there is good clear footage.
The crew gave you bread to feed the fish from the boat and kept you entertained if you choose to not snorkel while waiting for the other people to take their turn on the Underwater Scooter
Highly recommended!
So glad to hear you had a great time on our submarine scooters! We will be sure to let the crew know about your experience. Thank you for coming out with us and we hope to see you again in future!

The scooter experience was great. Very unique. If you tend to seasickness go with the first group. Luckily, I did or I don’t think I could have done it. The area where we scootered is rough, and quite a few people got sick. I had hoped to snorkel and swim afterwards, but was too sick. My companions were just fine.
Saw several turtles and different kinds of fish. Also, morning trips are supposed to be calmer than afternoon.

I love their motto of “we treat everyone as non swimmers...” Their patience is great with all participants. Very knowledgeable about their equipment, their staff and the environment.

The lecture is given in Japanese at the beginning, so there are no issues with understanding how to do it.
You can't really move the scooter by yourself, but you can see the fish up close!
I was able to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle!
However, while the scooter part is fine, you need to wait on the boat for about an hour, which can make you quite seasick, haha.
If your turn for the scooter is later, I think the seasickness will go away by then.
Since there is air around your head, you can dive without stress, which is a new sensation.
日本語で最初にレクチャーしてくれるのでやり方は問題ないです。
スクーターはあまり自分で動かせませんが、魚たちを間近で見ることができます!
ウミガメをちらっとみれました!
ただ、スクーター中はいいのですが、船の上で1時間くらい待つ必要があるのでだいぶ酔います笑
スクーターの順番が後ならそこで酔いはなくなると思います。
頭の周りが空気なので、ストレスなくダイビングできるので新感覚です。

This is a must do adventure, and well worth the price. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised at the 1-to-1 ratio of divers to BOBs in the water. They really make sure everyone is comfortable in the BOBs and are doing okay throughout the dive. The 1 hour of free time is basically during the time others are in the BOBs. They provide snorkeling equipment if you want to hop in the water during that time. We had a gray and windy day, so it was quite cool on the boat during the off time. So if your weather is not the best, consider bringing a windbreaker.
So glad to hear you had such a great time! We will be sure to let our crew know about your experience. Thank you again for coming out with us! We appreciate all referrals and especially your review! Mahalo!

My husband and I did this excursion together. He loves scuba diving, so he enjoyed it, but not as much as he does diving. I, on the other hand, get claustrophobic diving, so I LOVED this because I didn’t have to have anything touching my face/a mouthpiece. While under water, we saw tons of fish and sea turtles. In addition to scuba scootering, we got to snorkeling while we waited our turn for the scooters, so it was like two excursions in one. The staff were all great too!

You will drive to the tour office, where you will watch an instructional video on how to ride the scooter. After that, you will head out to sea on a boat and ride the scooter. A staff member will accompany you on one scooter. Since the staff are locals and speak very little Japanese, it's recommended to pay close attention to the video to learn how to operate the scooter. In the water, many fish will come to the bait, which is a lot of fun. We even encountered a sea turtle!!!
