5.00This was a fantastic tour with a fantastic crew! We saw tons of dolphins and some sea turtles. The crew was high energy and obviously all had a great love for the ocean and the animals in it. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. Very highly recommend!
Great experience

5.00We had an awesome experience. To start the day, our shuttle driver called me cause we were waiting at valet but they have a dedicated shuttle pick up locale at our hotel that we weren’t aware of. He gave step-by-step walking directions for us and patiently waited as my entire group (7 +1 disabled) made their way to the shuttle. The crew in the boat were incredible. They were fun, informative, helpful and safe…both in and out of the water. Definitely recommend!!!
Fun

5.00I participated on weekdays, but I was relieved to know that about half of the participants were Japanese and the crew were very good at Japanese! The atmosphere is quite friendly and there are a lot of participants, so it doesn't seem awkward at all even if it's a bit of a communicative problem (laughs). My wife was a little worried because she couldn't swim, but she lent me a life jacket plus a float that I could grab with my hand, so I enjoyed it without any problems. I think this tour is easy for people who are not good swimmers. We were able to see sea turtles many times, and on the way back we were very happy to see whales! In the past word of mouth said to take off your shoes before boarding the boat, but now it's time to take off your shoes after boarding the boat, so I recommend going with sandals. The caveat is that the ship shakes quite a bit. There were actually a few people who were quite drunk, so I think you should take the pills beforehand. Also, after we get out of the sea, it's quite cold with the wind. Many women in particular were cold, so I think a jacket that can be worn is a must. Wetsuits can be rented for cash. There was also a photo sale, but I regret that I missed the right time and couldn't buy it.... Maybe the photos were cash too, so it might be a relief to bring some cash with you!
Best Hawaii Experience!

5.00My mom and I step outside our comfort zone and did this. Best decision ever. Our guides were beyond awesome and amazing! They helped my mom out so much. She was afraid and they got her back to the boat with ease. While I said in and enjoyed the sites of turtles, a star fish, and all the fish just swim by underneath us. If you have to choose with company to go with go with Iruka Hawai’i. They were just amazing. Sam, Katie, Kristine and the caption!!!
I would highly recommend....
