Amazing time with Iruka team snorkeling with Sea Turtles

5.00We had an amazing time with this team. The staff is super friendly, funny, and supportive. The kids had enjoyed every minute, boat ride, snorkeling and the staff were around us the entire time in the water. I strongly recommend this Iruka and would definately book with them again.
Highlight of our trip!

5.00The turtle swim with the Iruka Hawaii Dolphin was the highlight of our trip! The crew (Wylie, Tanner, and pilot Ryan) were exceptional in their knowledge, care of the environment, and care and safety of the passengers. We learned so much and swam with four turtles! Truly unforgettable. We can't say enough about how accommodating the crew was to our requests for pictures of this special trip. Can't recommend this trip highly enough.
Nice time!

5.00All of the staff was patient and kind during our tour. They made sure we were comfortable in the water. We saw so many turtles and even saw a whale on the way back to the dock! The only complaint is that I wish we would've gotten more pictures while in the water from other angles.
Rockstar staff, standout tour from pickup to drop off

5.00Unbelievable experience! We saw tons of fish, 8-9 turtles, and a pod of dolphins!!!! The tour size was pretty small, definitely manageable for Captain Ryan, Sam, and Wylie (sp?). Sam and Wylie were in the water the whole time, pointing out different wildlife and sharing knowledge. The staff was bilingual (English and Japanese), and their chill vibe really made it a great trip. The crew is professional, and they take safety seriously. One tourist had a medical emergency, and the staff took care of him with confidence and composure. Lastly, the pickup and drop off were on time, the bus was clean, and the driver was friendly. A+++ overall. I intend to bring my family back the next time we visit Hawaii!!
Turtles and spinner dolphins

5.00We happened to have great conditions on the ocean. Very friendly and knowledgeable guides gave us good snorkeling instructions. We were able to see turtles and many colorful fish. A medical emergency was handled smoothly and the participant received EMT help as we had an early return to the start. We were still able to go back out for photos and to see dolphins.

5.00Our whole crew was great (Ryan, Wylie and Kristi). Saw some turtles up close, fish and coral (and a pod of spinner dolphins on our way back). Some hot tea/cocoa to warm back up in the sun. A great, safe, easy enjoyable afternoon excursion! Would definitely recommend!
