The 5 Best Scooter Rentals in Hawaiʻi You Can Book

1.Submarine Scooter Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,273 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $188Our pick

Cruise from Koko Marina past Koko Crater and Diamond Head, then ride a self-propelled underwater scooter through Maunalua Bay. Guides stay with you below the surface, so swimming skill is not required. Snorkel while other small groups take their turns, and enjoy snacks, drinks, and supplied gear.

“This was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had in the ocean. This is way better than snorkeling. The weather was a bit windy and cold, which made the water not so clear but we still had a great experience. My wife was a little concerned because she does not swim well and has trouble holding her breath underwater neither one of those concerns was an issue.

They will take care of you…”

“Amazing experience. The snorkeling scooters were awesome and very easy to use. We went out first day with Seth. He was so great and took care of us like we were family. The water was not super clear (though clear to us). He told us he would offer us another day to get the full experience! We had the morning open so we met him the next day. Another cloudy water day but we saw at least 10 turtles and many fish! I totally recommend this trip to anyone. Request Seth if you can. The clarity of the water was not their fault and yet they still tried to give…”

They were very helpful at suggesting beautiful routes, extremely patient with training, and were interested in hearing about any concerns when we returned. Highly recommend over and over again!”

Pick up a hybrid e-bike at Bike Volcano in Volcano Village, then follow a GPS audio app through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

“There were 6 in our party. We road e-bikes to the volcano and back. The highways were busy and a bit scary at first but the vehicles were very accommodating to those on bikes as long as you stick to the sides of the road and adhered to the parks regulations there were no problems. The audio/map app was a bit hard to navigate, but trails and paths were easily found. Lots of maps on the way to follow. The views of the volcano spectacular. Beautiful, fun and exciting adventure. Would do it again. The e-bikes from Hilo on Bikes, were top notch and easy to operate. Fun fun activity.…”
