Powered Snorkelling
Sea scooter tours use handheld underwater propulsion devices (battery-powered scooters that pull you through the water) to cover the reef at a pace that unassisted snorkelling cannot match. You hold the scooter, point it where you want to go, and it pulls you through the lagoon — over the coral, alongside the fish, and across the sandy channels at a gentle, controllable speed. The format is part snorkelling, part underwater flight, and the range the scooter provides (you cover a much larger section of the reef than swimming alone) adds a novelty element that makes the familiar lagoon feel different.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need experience with sea scooters?
No — the devices are simple (grip and go) and the guide provides a brief orientation. They operate at a gentle speed and are easy to control. Basic snorkelling ability is sufficient.
How long is a sea scooter tour?
Typically 1.5–2 hours including briefing and in-water time (approximately 45–75 minutes with the scooter).
How deep does the sea scooter go?
You stay on the surface (snorkelling, not diving). The scooter pulls you horizontally across the reef while you breathe through the snorkel. No diving certification required.
