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!

Itinerary
This 90-Minute Small Group Snorkel & Seabob Guided Reef Tour one-of-a-kind 2 mile underwater aquatic experience located in Fort Lauderdale. What is a seabob? This machine is similar to an underwater jet ski, and combines the experience of Snorkeling, Scuba Diving, and Jet Skiing (no swimming required to move through the water). On the surface, the seabob pulls you through the water where you can see fish and underwater where you be able to swim with the fish. First you'll meet on the beach where an Instructor will provide you with everything you need on this guided tour, including a mask; optional wetsuit; and safety harness which is connected to the machine so no swimming skills are required. After signing the waiver and going over a short safety briefing you'll head into the water where you'll venture off on your seabob and head to the reef in a small group. Our guides will take you on a reef tour where you will see a great variety of sea life including Angelfish, Parrotfish, Sergeant Major Fish, Hog fish, Sea Turtles and more.

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.
This experience was so great. Chris is wonderful and knows the best spots to see some neat marine life. Definitely recommmend following their advice if you are prone to motion sickness and take Dramamine ahead of time. Glad I got to experience it!
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.
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.
Rene and Chris are excellent hosts and guides. The SeaBobs are brand new and make the snorkel experience so fun and easy. They were helpful yet very focused on safety. We snorkeled from the shore, not from a boat, so had to get out past the waves and SeaBob about 20 minutes to the reef, where we saw lots of fish.
We had a fantastic time. Guide Chris was excellent and has patience for any age. It was an experience of a lifetime! This is the only place in the US that offers such a ride!
Chris and Matt are great. The sea Bob was so so fun. We saw fish and two turtles. Amazing underwater experience! We will definitely do it again!!
What an experienced!!! Had a free day in Fort Lauderdale before my cruise & had to try a Seabob! Thank you Chris from Beach Ventures for giving me an incredible one-on-one experience!!
This was extremely cool. It does wear you out. My husband, on the other hand, was a pro at it! He was doing barrels and one handed moves. I did get a little nauseous towards the end. I should have taken some dramamine. Usually I do not have motion sickness. Was fun though. My husband now wants one for our lake house in Michigan. Instructor was amazing.
Get ready to have a lot of fun! Chris was amazing and explained everything well. He really took care of us! The Seabobs were a blast!
Alex and Chris were fantastic. Using the Seabob made it very easy to see everything without the issues that come with scuba diving. I highly recommend this to anyone in the Ft Lauderdale area looking for something active to do! I will be doing this again the next time I am in the area.
Alexander and Renee were great guides and made sure everything was configured and fitted nicely. Was super hot out, and they made sure even the sand was sprayed down in the walking area as to not burn our feet. Very nice experience.
Such an amazing experience! Saw lots of sea life and the instructors were amazing. Thank you so much!!
1. Be sure to reserve your spot through the Viator app. 2. Use a cashback app like Rakuten—percentages vary based on the app and booking time. 3. Pay with a travel rewards credit card to maximize benefits. 4. Expect a waiver to be sent via message the morning of your activity—sign it promptly. 5. Paid parking is available in front of the hotel. Reserve at least 3 hours. Use the “PayByPhone” app or the nearby parking meter. 6. All participants—men and women—must wear waterproof shorts and a T-shirt. The Seabob creates friction against your body, so proper clothing is essential. 7. If you wear water shoes, remove them before the ride to avoid losing them. 8. Avoid applying sunscreen to your face—it can irritate your eyes when wearing diving goggles. 9. They provide diving goggles; test them onshore to ensure they don’t leak. 10. Check that the rope connecting you to the Seabob is long enough. Your arms should be fully extended for proper control. 11. Photos taken during the experience cost $40 and are payable via Venmo only. Credit card payments incur additional fees. 12. To avoid those fees, consider tipping your guide directly instead of paying via card—the machine will prompt you for a tip. Overall, it’s a fantastic experience. The Seabob is new and exciting, and the guide was incredibly kind, patient, and informative. You’ll have a great time!
Easy to operate and get to see much more with the propulsion units. We saw a lot of fish and a couple sea turtles Chris the owner and operator was great.
An amazing experience first time Seabob Tour guide was great and give clear instructions Everything delivered as promised
Fantastic experience! Our family of 5 with three boys ages 9, 12 and 13 had so much fun. Our guide, Chris, was great. Highly recommend.
An amazing adventurous excursion! The guys were phenomenal and made us feel comfortable using the Seabobs. We were able to see a lot of fish and turtles at the reefs that we went to. I definitely recommend!!!
Awesome fun experience. The seabobs are really cool and we saw some great reefs with tropical fish. Also saw a lion fish. Chris was an excellent guide and made sure everyone was safe and having fun!
A very fun experience! Excellent guide and equipment. Sineres woman, tie your hair up well, wear a swimsuit with sleeves and sunscreen I recommend it.
Fantastic experience. Seabob was good fun and quite straightforward to use. We saw beautiful fish, huge conch shells and a sea turtle. The guide was brilliant, and even nin-swimmers in the group felt comfortable managing the activity. Would definitely recommend.
Extremely fun. The guide was friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and fun to explore with. Well worth doing again.
This adventure is a must in Ft Lauderdale. Chris, our guide, made sure we had a blast. He gave us plenty of time for an amazing underwater experience to get as close to the fish in the reefs below as we'll as "zoom time" on the sea bobs. I absolutely loved it! For me, Chris was also understanding of my situation. I have a mild case of cerebral palsy on my left side and had a tiny setback. Chris was very helpful and made it fun and enjoyable!
I was with my twins 11-year old. At first we were afraid of doing the activity. The instructor was very accommodating and friendly, that helped us to have a good experience.
Fantastic!! Guides Chris and Keanu were great!! Kids and husband had the best time!! Saw tons of fish!!
Sadly the visibility was a bit low from storms the days before AND it was still very beautiful and a super free feeling! I would do it again with friends!
I went on a seabob tour with Chris who was awesome! He put me at ease about using the machine and took me pretty far out from shore where we got to see some wildlife and enjoy the beautiful day in the water! He was professional, knowledgeable and kind! The seabob was extremely easy to use and so much fun! I took dramamine before my tour and experienced zero sickness. I would recommend everyone try this at least once!
The experience was amazing for our 2 sons in their 20's. Chris was a great instructor and guide who knew his stuff and did his best to give our sons a great experience! It was very cold that morning, but he was willing to be cold for us--thank you, Chris!! The pictures were also very nice to have. The kids enjoyed it so much and think about it more fondly now that they are warm!
The seabob experience is a lot of fun. Our instructor Chris did a good job explaining how to use the seabob and he is a very patient guy with a good sense of humor. You should definitely take the Dramamine like they recommend
Chris led us on a great tour of a few reefs and was very comforting for the nervous one in our group of 4. We saved this event for our last day and it was a great send off. Fun, fun, fun!
Chris was a wonderful guide and we had a great time. The water was very clear so we could easily see the reefs and any marine life. I recommend this trip.
Great experience Chris was very helpful and knowledgeable, was great he took pictures for us Would recommend highly to go
I cancelled my attraction more than 24 hrs in advance and talk to them in person and still got charged for it. I cancelled it because hurricanes were coming. He said he would cancel it but he did not.
The best water experience we had! Rene and Chris are awesome and fun. They will guide you over different reefs and show you turtles, Parrot fishes and so on... Thanks a lot guys and see you next time!
This was one of the coolest things I have ever done. Take care to read all the correspondence that you are sent because we were late on accident. The requested arrival time could be earlier than your scheduled time when you are supposed to enter the water. Chris was amazing. He was patient and constantly checking in. He offers to take any pictures or video you want with his underwater camera. They suggest taking a motion sickness pill beforehand and I strongly recommend doing so. Even though I have never had a problem with motion sickness before, the waves were a bit choppy and there is no reprieve once you are out in the middle of the sea. I was not the only one to feel queasy either- including one participant who grew up around boats. If you get ill, you either have to stick it out or the whole tour ends early for all participants. Also, listen to his advice because it can be quite a workout if you are fighting against the machine instead of going with it. (many people in the reviews mention sore arms.) Also we were told that mornings are best for calm seas and the opportunity to see more marine life. Overall, it's worth it and I will do it again if I ever return to the Fort Lauderdale area. Money very well spent

Wonderful experience!! If you’re nervous about going, don’t worry it’s safe and you’ll end up being more excited than nervous!!! I am not the best swimmer and was nervous about being so far out from the shore but 5 minutes in and I wasn’t even worried about it!!! Definitely go and take your family.
Absolutely awesome experience Our guide Chris was outstanding person calm, friendly knowledgeable no rush no nerves, absolutely great. Snorkeling on a sea bobs it’s basically give you the best of two worlds you have the ability to dive to good depth easily and see plenty of marine life and at the same time you don’t have the bulkiness of scuba gears Again I would recommend this experience to anyone especially to families with older teens my kids were very happy We had a great time.
This was a fantastic experience for me and my 16 year old son. I can't swim well and was nervous, but the harness and seabob kept me afloat with ease. We saw a nurse shark, and many colorful fish, which was exciting. I would definitely do it again.
Thank you Rene, and Chris! The tour to the reefs, incredible, the use of using the seabob was awesome, you guys made the trip so so much fun! And such a beautiful view of the ocean! Thank you again, I hope when I come back with my family you'll remember me!! ❤️
Fantastic tour guides . Great introduction to seabobs . Felt super comfortable. Was hoping for clear waters but no fault of the tour . It was super fun . Even signed up to do it twice . Can’t say enough nice things about the owner and guide .
The Sea Bobs were soooo fun! We ended with a fun group (we are a couple). Chris-our leader/guide was excellent-personable, knowledgeable, enthusiastic. Honestly he made the adventure.
My wife and I had a wonderful experience! This was our first attempt at the Seabob snorkeling experience and we had an absolute blast! Our guide, Chris, was amazing! He explained everything to us, kept us informed when boats were around and made it fun. I would recommend that you make sure that your harness is at the right length so that the Seabob does its job and allows your arms to rest. Otherwise your arms will get tired! I’m really looking forward to doing this again! If you are with Chris, you’ll really enjoy it!
Amazing experience! We enjoyed a lot and saw beautiful marine life. The team was very kind and helpful.
I loved doing snorkeling there. Chris was an amazing instructor in his guidance I was able to let my fear go. Will do this again when I come back to FLL.
Great experience, the guys so welcoming! Great time . Good tutorial on seabobs , and easy to use. Plenty of time in the water also . A tad expensive, but worth it
Great, would do it again. The guides were nice, professional and knowledgeable. They tools lots of pics & videos for us too!
The communication was excellent! Rene kept us informed every step of the way! My son had a lot of fun and it was just an amazing experience from start to finish. Also, the location was beautiful and we loved the Pelican Grand Beach Resort.
10 stars! Rene and Chris were amazing!That was our first time riding a sea bob,it was surprisingly easy to operate.We got to see lots of fish,a nurse shark,conch and the reef was very pretty. We had a long night before and had to push ourselves to get to the beach.Im so glad we did,it was so much fun!
