Additional Information

Enjoy a unique underwater journey with a 90-minute Snorkel & Seabob Reef Tour in a small group setting in Fort Lauderdale. The tour extends across a 2-mile underwater terrain. The seabob, an aquatic machine similar to a jet ski, but designed for underwater use, provides a dynamic blend of Snorkeling, Scuba diving, and Jet skiing experiences - all without the necessity for swimming skills. Seabob, on the surface, transports you through splashes of water and fish swarms, while far beneath, it offers you the chance to mingle with a variety of sea life.

At the beginning of the tour, you’ll convene at the beach where a professional instructor will equip you with essentials like a mask, an optional wetsuit, and a safety harness tethered to the seabob, making swimming skills unnecessary. After signing a waiver and getting briefed on safety measures, you’ll embark on your seabob journey towards the reef, joining a small group.

During the exploration of the reef, our experienced guides will introduce you to a stunning diversity of sea creatures including Angelfish, Parrotfish, Sergeant Major Fish, Hogfish, Sea Turtles, and more.

  • We recommend you bring your own water with you.
  • For windy days we highly recommend taking over the counter motion sickness pills like Dramamine.
  • We provide you with masks at no charge. Wet suits are available optionally for an upcharge during the winter time.
  • Showers are available on the beach, however there are no changing rooms available.
  • No license is required to operate a seabob, and you will be provided with a short safety briefing and instruction prior to your tour.
  • Clothing is of choice, however a long sleeve shirt is recommended to ride on the seabob to protect from the sun and also from the friction between the seabob and the pilot belt. You should also bring a towel and sandals for the beach and put sunblock on.
  • You do not need to know how to swim to participate in this tour. However, you are required to wear a pilot belt which will be attached to the seabob while operating which makes it very safe. The seabob also acts like a life jacket and floats on the surface. While in the water we always have one of our instructors out there with you.

Don’t hesitate to book just book! Definitely no reason to be afraid amazing tour guides! - I thought I would be afraid going that far out into the ocean but it doesn’t get as deep as you would think! What a beautiful experience 😍 if you ever get the slightest motion sickness I highly recommend taking an anti nausea prior by the 3rd reef I was ready to float away and missed out but will definitely book again and now I know for future!

WE LOVE SEABOB! - Excellent experience for anyone that likes the water and trying new things. Our wife and I went snorkeling last year, but she had trouble getting deep enough to see everything. These machines take you 5-15 feet down in just seconds and are super easy (AND FUN) to operate. Highly recommend!!

SeaBobs, Sharks and Coral Reefs - The SeaBobs were great with Chris leading the team and Rob making sure all was set up properly. Wetsuits and a GoPro topped off the service of this activity. Saw coral reefs and even sharks. A must do activity when in Fort LauderDale.

Amazing and Memorable Experience! - If you want to experience a part of the ocean unreachable by a swim then this is an unforgettable experience. Renee and his team provide excellent customer service and an outstanding experience. The SeaBob adventure is a must-do when visiting Fort Lauderdale. Great reef experience with colorful wildlife, turtles and even the occasional manta ray. You won’t regret taking this tour!

Great Day in the Ocean - Got the chance yesterday to try snorkeling using a SeaBob. If we ever live near an ocean, I'm getting one. I was super happy because the owner of Beach Ventures in Ft Lauderdale was willing to take me out when I was the only one. We got three last minute companions which made it even better. Check them out if your in the area! We saw so many beautiful fish, held a conch and returned it to his home in the ocean and I got a little bit of a tan. Rene, the owner, was fabulous!
