Iruka Hawaii Dolphin

Following shuttle bus from Honolulu out to Waianae. Driver between Red Hill and Pearl City is an idiot. At Red Hill, driver is in second from left lane, that lane goes to Aiea, driver is driving 50 mph, observe driver cut in front of a Bus Handivan after going over Red Hill as going to Waianae and not Aiea. Handivan changed lane after the cut in front. Thinking why the sudden last minute change in lane. Did not get a good look at driver as was 6:30am and still dark outside. Lic # 2IRUKA. Wish I had a dash cam, would post idiot driving. If there were people inside I wonder what they were thinking about the driving.

Such a great snorkel trip! We went with our 3 young girls ages 6,6, &7.. It was their first snorkeling trip ever, so we were a little nervous. The crew made our girls feel so safe and comfortable! I feel bad I can't remember everyone's name, but I do remember Vivian's name. She was so great with our girls, and made them feel so comfortable! Maki was so sweet, helpful and always smiling! We definitely recommend the turtle snorkel trip! Thanks again to the Iruka crew for giving us so many incredible memories!

This was a great experience to do in Hawaii. The fact I was dipping into the Pacific Ocean with sea life was beyond me! The staff here were fabulous. Super friendly, entertaining and very definitely making sure we were all good and felt safe which is important. The activity itself is a bit overpriced (like everything in Hawaii) but in terms of this group taking you and making you feel comfotable is great! I'd recommend this place for dolphin and seat turtle swimming!

I have now done the Oahu dolphin tour 3x and the Oahu turtle tour 1x. I first discovered them a year ago and had the absolute privilege of meeting the owner herself! What a treat, Yuriko is the sweetest and I'm ever so thankful our paths crossed.The dolphin tour out of Waianae Harbor is most definitely a show stopper! It was my first time ever swimming in open water with dolphins. I've been lucky enough to see spinner and spotted dolphins on this tour! The last time we lucked up on a nursing pod and there were wee babies too!!! Absolutely breathtaking experience on the double decker boat with a slide, climbing wall, paddle boards etc.While we were cruising around we crossed across another pod and one spotted dolphin in particular was having a ball jumping through our wake a few times! Hahahaha it was fantastic first time experience for me on that one too. I swear he was giggling at all of us squealing at how cool he was! LolThe dolphin tour comes with a light lunch, juice, and water.The turtle tour goes out of Waikiki and its a much smaller boat, really enjoyed the small group for that tour. Max and Nate make a great team! We got the early morning tour so had a nice sunrise cruise out to the turtle spot. Lucky enough to get there so early because it got super crowded after about an hour and a bunch of other boats showed up and those guests from the other boats were loud and splish splashing and well rude. After swimming around and away from the gobs of people our group got blessed with a young turtle that popped up right in front of our group and hung out for a bit before we packed it on up and headed back. The cruise back was just as beautiful as the ride out with the sunrise. Such a peaceful and beautiful experience.Bring your own light snacks and water bottles on the turtle cruise.For both tours. All gear is provided so just bring some reef safe sunblock, wear your swimsuit and enjoy the views.Highly recommend and cannot wait to take my next swim!

Sarah, Noah, and Ryan amazing crew. It was an amazing sunset cruise. We may not have seen whales but the sunset was unbelievable.

Fun experience. The crew is extremely friendly and nice. Highly recommend!!! We did the sunset tour and the kids loved it.

My husband and I went on a snorkel trip with Captain Lauren, and I believe the two crew were Rebecca and Megan. It was a fantastic trip. They were extremely capable, patient, communicated well and all had a good sense of humor. We were shocked by how many pilot whales we saw! It was the best thing we did on our trip to Hawaii! There was also someone on our boat that was very scared to get in the water, but Megan assisted her and was very sweet with her. Highly recommend doing this excursion.Jackie C. Westfield, New Jersey

What a great crew we had for this trip. Capt. Ali, Vivian, Parker, Maki and Sam.Mahalo to you all.Safe and comfort for all of their guests onboard.

Staff is so kind, they really care about making a great and safe experience for everyone. We brought our kids ages 9,3,1. The older kids got to do the snorkeling. Baby and I got to sit on the Lily Pad and hang out in the water during snorkeling. We also got to swim with pilot dolphin/whales (only the adults). This was really special because they're rare and the second largest dolphin in the world next to orcas. Thank you Iruka team!

The snorkeling tour was great. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I don't know how to swim and the crew made me feel very comfortable in the water. Kristin was very thorough with her instructions. Sam was very kind to my mom who was nervous about getting in the water, he helped her get more comfortable. Jake was very friendly and took great photos. Overall the experience was great. I got to see turtles, dolphins and fish. The dolphins weee a bonus !
