5.00We missed our boat because we went to the wrong marina and Iruka made sure to work with us and the captains to get us on a different tour. They stayed in contact throughout the process and the customer service was amazing! Once on the boat, we had the most amazing captain and guide and were greeted with tons of spinner dolphins and sea turtles. The snorkeling was like nothing we have ever seen and we also saw a huge pod of dolphins while underwater. I highly recommend this company!
Must do!

5.00Absolutely INCREDIBLE! From start to finish it was an amazing experience with a fantastic team, thank you Captain Jason, Koha and Minako!! They made it so fun, safe and worthwhile - swam with a pod of dolphins and saw many green sea turtles upclose. I recommend renting a GoPro to capture the wonderful time as well as being in the moment! Everything I dreamed for 10/10, Chee hoo ☀️🐬🐢

Unfortunately no swimming with dolphins

1.00Unfortunately, we cannot fully agree with the very positive reviews. We participated in the tour for swimming with dolphins in Oahu. Much of the time was spent organising, picking up and returning the participants. We only saw dolphins from a distance, a swim with them – as announced in the tour description – unfortunately did not take place. When dolphins were sighted, a lot of time passed before everyone was in the water, so the chances were very low. Overall, we found the tour very expensive in relation to the price. It was also a pity that we were not offered a (partial) refund, but only a discount for another tour – which is unfortunately not an option for guests from Germany. The tour itself was not extended to search for more dolphins.
The Iruka team were...

5.00The Iruka team were amazing! This was definitely the highlight of my trip to Hawaii. Convenient hotel pick up from Waikiki early in the morning to get into the water as early as possible. We were fortunate to have a small group on the boat and I truly appreciated the very personal touch and interaction we could have with the crew, and their thoughtful and considerate care. We had 3 dolphin drops and swam (at a safe distance) with 3 different pods of spotted dolphins! After the dolphin drops we had a laid back snorkel at the reef to see turtles and other fish, and then wrapped up with a turkey sandwich all included. Great preparation from the friendly crew, Captain Stef, guide Brooke and Yuya our photographer. A gorgeous, perfect morning in nature. Photo and video package is not included in the package price and has to be purchased separately, but worth buying if you want to live in the moment while swimming with the dolphins not having to worry about your own camera.
