We had the best time!!! - We are 4 sisters from Australia and love out water activities! We researched the various snorkelling trips available and found this one with Iruka to be the best option - so we booked it! On the date, it was an early start with a comfortable bus pick up from our hotel in Waikiki, straight to the Ko’Olina wharf. Our 4 crew members, Elena, Tim, Abbie and Gaylene were all so kind, welcoming and ready to make sure we had a great time. We set out to sea, participating in the prayer song to grant us safely on our journey, it was a lovely and unique experience. We were able to go out and stand on the bow which gave us such a thrill powering through the swell, on our search for wildlife - not for everyone, but we loved it!! On our trip, we saw many whales, dolphins and even a shark! The snorkelling portion of the trip was also enjoyable - especially when our girl 'Gaylene' drove down to retrieve a starfish for us all to see up close! Access on and off the boat was very easy, especially when getting in and out of the water. The lunch provided was also enjoyable too! If you want to go out on a boat or go snorkelling - don't hesitate to book this tour! Thank you again Elena, Tim, Abbie and Gaylene - we had a great time! Mahalo!

I was able to photograph dolphins jumping~ - This time I took my 81-year-old mother on a dolphin tour. The weather was nice and the dolphins wore a lot (about 200?) and swam the tip of the boat. My mother enjoyed watching dolphins all the time in the best place. I was snorkeling with my 15-year-old son, and Honu (turtles) came and we swam together. The level of hospitality of the crew! There were people who spoke Japanese, so I enjoyed many things. I would love to participate again.

Oahu dolphin, turtles, and snorkeling tour - Travis, Morgan, and Dustin were amazing on our trip out on the water! They were so educated on wildlife and the area so we felt so informed and left with a deeper appreciation for the ocean and Hawaii! We saw a humpback, turtles, and dolphins.
