Sensational Sea Scooter Rentals

This was our second time renting from Sensational Sea Scooters and it was once again such a blast! Kelly has clearly grown the business over the last few years and it's great to see how many others have enjoyed the scooters. While my family and I snorkeled multiple days on our trip and are solid swimmers, having one outing with the scooters is still a lot of fun and worth trying for anyone on the fence. Make sure to figure out which part of the island you'd like to experience with them so you know which location to book!

They were fun. I would recommend renting them day of, we reserved ahead of time and it ended up being not a great day weather wise to snorkel. But the kids still had tons of fun. You get about 45 min of battery life.

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.

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!!
