This 90-minute small group tour offers a unique 2-mile underwater aquatic experience in Fort Lauderdale. The Seabob, akin to an underwater jet ski, combines the thrills of snorkeling, scuba diving, and jet skiing, requiring no swimming to navigate the water. On the surface, the Seabob propels you, allowing you to view fish, and then you can dive below to swim with them.
Your tour begins on the beach where an instructor will provide all necessary equipment, including a mask, an optional wetsuit, and a safety harness connected to the Seabob, eliminating the need for swimming skills. After signing a waiver and receiving a brief safety overview, you'll enter the water and proceed to the reef in a small group.
Our guides will lead you on a reef exploration, showcasing a diverse array of marine life, including Angelfish, Parrotfish, Sergeant Major Fish, Hogfish, Sea Turtles, and more.

Chris was so great. He led us out past 2 gorgeous reefs and we saw so many cool fish. The seabobs are so fun and easy to use. If we had any questions about marine life Chris would know the answer!

Needs to be organized
Stephanie_L, August 2026
When we first arrived, the instructor didn’t even know we were coming. We didn’t start our excursion till an hour later. Although Chris, the instructor was great and the experience was good. I would suggest it be more organized. It made it difficult for us to get to our next excursion for the day because it was so late.

Seabobs are awesome
965benjaminy, June 2026
First time trying a seabob, and had a blast. Easy to use and a really fun way to explore the reef. Our guide, Chris, was great - knowledgeable, made the setup process effortless and took some great photos and videos of the experience. I’d definitely do it again.

Fun and unique experience
Brian_H, April 2026
The Seabobs are an amazing experience. We’ve tried them before on a cruise excursion and were excited to see them available at our resort. This experience was even better than Aruba! Chris was a great guide and trained us well before heading out to see two different reefs. We saw lots of fish and a lobster at the second reef in particular. Chris even showed us a live conch he found and released. Chris was super focused on safety but also allowed us to experience the full power of the Seabobs on the way back. Overall this was a fun and unique land excursion.
