Best snorkeling experience EVER! - 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 Town." The snorkel scooter experience blew both of those away!

Sea scooter! - Great view of turtles and fish. Was a little weird because we went to someone’s home for this. We were the only 2 which turned out well because we didn’t have to follow a bigger group. He really cares about the ocean. We did have fun and saw lots of fish and turtles.

Fun, private snorkeling experience - Fun snorkeling in the bay! We had never used a scooter before and it was really fun. Tony was great! He explained everything very clearly so we knew exactly what to do once we got to the bay and in the water. We highly recommend purchasing the GoPro package so you have pictures and videos from your experience. We would do this again!

Great morning snorkeling! - We did a morning tour with our family led by Barbie and really enjoyed ourselves. My wife and I did the floating wetsuits and found they gave us an extra degree of confidence when snorkeling. I didn't think the scooters were as powerful as they turned out to be and ended up wishing we could take them home with us. Kapalua Bay is great for snorkeling, even when crowded, with lots of reef fish and sea turtles. Barbie does great work with the disabled community with the float suits and is an excellent tour guide, we strongly recommend her for both the experience and value.

Amazing experience - This was an awesome experience. My wife is not a swimmer. The wetsuit provided has floatation it in that would not allow her to sink. Then we were provided a sea scooter. It took two minutes for our guide to make sure my wife was comfortable, and next thing I knew my wife was zipping around like a pro. We saw alot of fish and swam around 4 sea turtles!
The owner is wonderful and very passionate about what she does with these wetsuits. I honestly can't fathom a company that doesn't have those on hand for Snorkeling. They are great for beginners and handi capped. I would highly recommend this!

Beach water scooter tour - Nice educational presentation about the use of the scooters and the different marine life we would encounter. The tour director and guide were both very friendly. The tour was an appropriate amount of time. We all enjoyed it.

Amazing sea scooting fun! - What an amazing time! Even though I’m a newbie and can’t swim, I felt really safe in the ocean with the wetsuit! My husband is a bit more of a pro and loved the sea scooter. The host was knowledgeable and we had an amazing time! I’m glad we found this because the sea scooter made snorkeling fun! We also got to rent a GoPro!

You Just Can’t Beat It. - It’s always awesome to be given a tour and understanding of the island by locals. they show you the best things to look at they understand the wildlife and the sea life better than anyone, this activity is top notch and they know what they’re talking about and they’re doing great things for the environment as well. Our Guide Martin was just awesome and great at his job.
