Snorkeling on Grand Bahama Island with sea scooter

Let the sea scooter propel you to the coral reef

Snorkel near Paradise Cove on Grand Bahama Island using a motorized sea scooter instead of swimming, with a trained guide leading small groups to a coral reef. The scooter makes it accessible even for non-swimmers. Includes snorkeling gear, training for first-timers, lunch on the beach, and six hours total.

The experience

The sea scooter does the work. You hold on, steer, and watch the reef pass underneath: no swimming required, no exhaustion. A trained guide leads the group out from Paradise Cove to a coral reef where the water stays clear enough to see the marine life up close: different species moving through the underwater scene at their own pace. The scooter's propulsion means even travelers who don't swim confidently can reach the same reef and stay there as long as they want.

The day runs six hours total. After snorkeling, you get lunch on the beach or on the patio deck overlooking it. If time remains and you want it, you can swim in the shallows or rest on the sand. A trained guide handles the group throughout, and all snorkeling gear comes with the booking: no rental fees, no separate purchase. First-time snorkelers get instruction before heading out.

What is a sea scooter and how does it work for snorkeling?

A sea scooter is a motorized handheld device that propels you underwater without requiring you to swim or kick. You hold the handles, steer it toward the reef, and it does the physical work, making snorkeling accessible even for non-swimmers and reducing fatigue for anyone who wants to conserve energy and stay longer at the reef.

Do I need to know how to swim to snorkel with the sea scooter?

No. The sea scooter is designed so non-swimmers can go underwater and see marine life up close. A trained guide leads the group and provides instruction for first-timers before you head out to the coral reef.

What happens after the snorkeling part of the day?

After snorkeling, you return to Paradise Cove for lunch served on the beach or on the patio deck overlooking it. If time remains, you can swim in the shallows or relax on the sand before the activity ends.

Is snorkeling gear included, or do I need to bring my own?

All snorkeling equipment is included with the booking. You don't need to rent or purchase anything separately.
