About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- brookeaB1578WN0 contributionsFun times!We had a lot of fun! We liked that we didn’t have to have a guide and could go at our own pace and decide which beach to use the equipment at. We saw turtles, a reef shark and all kinds of beautiful fish. Would definitely rent from here again!🩵 Shop owner was friendly, helpful and great to work with!Written December 30, 2024
- 981frederickc0 contributionsIt was ok not what you thinkThe motors aren’t strong enough to pull a 200 pound person —the motors last for 45 minutes and I got cut up on the reef with bloody knees . Why they do 3 hours rentals is beyond me.Written October 15, 2024
- ronvX2498VJ0 contributionsWonderful experience!The check-in process was quick and easy and Kelly was delightful to work with. The equipment worked well and we got great videos on our go pro.Written September 19, 2024
- Christykeim760 contributionsSea Scootors Were A BlastLocal business providing snorkeling gear and sea scooters. Great experience! We were provided all the snorkeling gear including a scooters. We were provided maps of the best snorkeling beach for that days weather. Great instruction for use of the gear and finding best areas of the water to find fish and sea turtles. Highly recommend and will rent from them again!!Written August 12, 2024
- TinaBjk0890 contributionsBest Experience Snorkeling on KauaiWe had a blast using the scooters to snorkel. They lasted for the whole time we were snorkeling in the water. We swam with 2 turtles and lots of colorful fish. The coral was like nothing I have ever seen before. This was one of our favorite experiences on Kauai. We absolutely recommend snorkeling with these scooters. Go see Sensational Sea Adventures in Lihue.Written May 21, 2024
- B4031YBmattheww0 contributionsIts just equipment rentalIts in the listing so not their fault, but just wanted to reiterate, its just equipment rental, not a tour and you have to drive to usage location. Usage area is 30 min drive from rental location. battery died on one of the jet packs after about 45 minWritten April 29, 2024
- 552bret0 contributionsAmazingThis was such an amazing activity to do! My family and I have never been snorkeling before and this experience was awesome!!!! 100% recommend ❤️Written March 29, 2024
- chrisbQ3441ZD0 contributionsAwesomeFantastic experience swimming around the coral and tropical fish. Saw an octopus hiding in the rocks. The sea scooters worked great. Had an awesome time at Poipu Beach, only wish we had found the sea turtles in the water.Written March 27, 2024
- T9728IOanthonyh0 contributions10 out of 10This was absolutely amazing. The owner was great and gave us so much information to go on. I would recommend this to everyone I know because it one of the best things to do on this island 🏝 👌Written March 27, 2024
- Happiness793240 contributionsGreat snorkeling gear and great adviceLoved this service and would definitely use it again. We got all the gear we would need for a day of snorkeling adventures, as well as detailed guidance on where to go and what to expect. We then got to enjoy the day at our own pace with the loaned gear, which was wonderful (note, this service doesn’t include transportation or a tour guide). Super friendly and helpful. Thank you for helping us make some great memories.Written March 21, 2024
- dawndT5302HN0 contributionsTurtles, fish, eels and sea cucumbers!!Easy and so much fun!! Experience NOT needed. Kelly was terrific at guiding us to a great beach for snorkeling. Use common sense and your battery will last for hours. I pulsed and never used high speed. Awesome.Written September 13, 2023
- larryfW5251YQ0 contributionsDeceptive tourVery disappointing. You picked up the snorkel and jet pack and then travel in your own car a hour to get to the beach. We still had 3 hours to snorkel which was fine. When I asked how long the battery lasted she told me everyone came back with 1/2 or 2/3 of battery life left. My battery died after an hour and all the other 3 died shortly afterwards. When I complained to the owner she then said oh the batteries only last 45 minutes to an hour. Very disappointingWritten July 20, 2023

The sea scooters are awesome and super helpful when snorkeling, I would definitely recommend booking the scooters. My husband and I rented the scooters for two separate days during our trip and we loved them. The owner is also super sweet and knowledgeable, she was beyond helpful! Next time we return to Kauai we will definitely be renting the scooters through sensational sea adventure again! The service was spectacular!

We rented two scooters and a GoPro for the day. Kelly was very accommodating with pickup and drop off locations to ensure we got the most snorkeling time possible with our rental. The scooters allowed us to go further out at Anini Beach and we saw at least ten sea turtles! Whether you need a little help or just want to see as much as you can in a day, these scooters and this company are the best!!

Perfect experience for adults and kids. The sea scooters were a fun way to snorkel even though we did not get to see much sea life.

Mahalo for your review. We are glad you had fun with the Sea Scooters. Most the Sea life hides within the reefs.

The Sea Scooters were great. But after returning them, we received a phone call saying that both of the Sea Scooters were mysteriously broken in half, and were unusable, even though neither of them was broken when we returned them, and they both worked great. They said we would need to pay $200 + $200 = $400 (which later turned into $250 + $250 = $500 including shipping), and that we were getting off easy. So we took time away from our trip to go all the way back there. It was a good thing we had taken a photo of the contract, because that and our videos both clearly showed that one of the broken Sea Scooters was not even rented by us. (Their log book would have showed that too, but they somehow couldn't find it to verify.) They eventually acknowledged that and the fact the other Sea Scooter only broke AFTER we had already returned it, but still maintained we would need to pay for it regardless. So literally zero of the Sea Scooters were broken when we returned them, and they both worked perfectly, but we were still asked to pay $250. We reluctantly agreed to pay $200 (which then turned into $218.42 because "tax" was added, as if we were purchasing something instead of covering damage). We noticed another reviewer reported a similar incident eight months earlier. The company agreed that breaks are usually the result of prior damage, and that they really should factor the cost of wear and tear into their pricing. But they said they won't do so because the company is too new (according to the Hawaii Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs' Business Registration Division, it incorporated 2.5 years ago in November 2020). Beware that you may be pressured to pay for damage caused by others.

Mahalo for your review. We have a policy and a contract like many other companies, if you break it you buy it. One of the scooters you used had a handle that was broken in half when you returned it. Due to the severity of the break, yes you would be asked to pay half $200 plus tax for the cost to replace it. However, I understand that this is not the outcome either of us would have liked. These scooters are made to take a beating. Only pure negligence would cause such a break. I hand out the gear in working order as I state to every customer and I expect them back in working order. I was so distraught over losing a Sea Scooter, that I set the contract to the side under my notebook. I found your contract in a matter of seconds. I would never hand out broken equipment that had prior damage from some ones else's negligence. How would that ever make any sense? As a former KPD Forensic Scientist everything I do is documented. If they were returned in working order you would not have to pay for a broken scooter and I would not be out so much more money. I will go months waiting for a replacement scooter, so yes you are getting off easy at $200. I opened my business in November 2020 and received my 1st customer in July 2021. Mahalo for your concern about when I started my business.
