Loved it and a must go!! - I was traveling with my family and I was very skeptical about deep water swimming as all of us were not pro swimmers. The crew was so friendly and helped us throughout the experience. They gave us life jackets and helped my family members if they were struggling. We also had a special treat of seeing dolphins swim right next to us and the boat :) the sun the water the island the wildlife and the crew was an amazing package all in all! I loved this a lot and will definitely have to come back :)

WE SWAM WITH DOLPHINS - Wow ! Booking with Iruka was a great choice. As someone who lives and works on Oahu, I was impressed by their professionalism and safety on board. I brought my sister who is visiting and we had a blast. Abby, captain and crew took great care. and... WE SWAM WITH DOLPHINS!

My dream is complete. Words can’t describe how amazing this trip was.Thank you 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬 - What a day on the Poseidon . Best ever .We saw turtles,A Whale shark ,Hammerhead shark ,Stingrays,beautiful colourful fish and the ultimate wish swimming with wild Dolphins. Mother and baby dolphin playing together. Pods of Dolphins swimming underneath us. Once back in the boat the pod of dolphins swam right at the front for about 500m like they were escorting us back to the marina. The Captain and the crew were absolutely amazing so passionate about their job. The safety of the passengers was their top priority in and out of the water. Thank you to all of the crew (sorry I can’t remember all of their names) for contributing to full filling my dream of swimming with wild dolphins.

Magic of Mana in Oahu - Professional from the start - good communication, shuttle bus wa comfortable and had seatbelts, great boat, well-kept equipment, and warm and knowledgeable crew. This late in the season we had a humpback whale swim right next to the boat for a bit - flukes and tail slaps and all! We swam with a pod of dolphins and chilled with some honu (turtles). Even met an octopus on the snorkel! 10/10 Highly recommend!

incredibly good time. be wary of sea sickness - Had a great time on the poseidon. We first stopped by a reef to snorkel and sea some fish and sea turtles ( as close up as you can legally get!). We then got to swim with some bottlenose dolphins, and got vert close with all of them. We finally got to see some very chill pilot whales. The only negative part of the tour was the sea sickness when going out to see these animals as you are several miles from shore. Overall a great experience at least once.

So nice to be out on the water and this slide was real cool too - It was an early start and a decent 1 Hour Dr. out to the boat. The crew and staff on the boat seemed knowledgeable and were very nice and friendly. I recommend staying on the boat when others go out to swim with the Dolphins unless there’s a ton of dolphins out there… Hundred plus.100+… the view from the boat is way better. Snorkeling over a 20 foot deep coral was refreshing and nice. Saw several different colors of fish and turtles. Yes, absolutely… The slide was fast and fun.

Not the best overall - Really disappointed that wetsuits were an add on, for the price it could have easily been included. Wasn’t able to get a suit that fitted, chose a smaller suit than a suit that was 2-3 sizes too big. Similar tours in Australia all equipment including suits included with lots of sizes available. We saw some dolphins by the boat but couldn’t swim with them. Saw 2 turtles on the snorkel swim and a variety of fish. Lunch was ordinary.

Terrible experience - They did not comply with what was offered, not a single dolphin to swin with in the water, the first time in the water the guide pressured me to go fast and the second time they did no let me get off, they also offered me Photoshop and the never sent them to me, finally, they didn’t give me the option of a new tour because i hadn’t seen dolphins when i was swimming, that was supposed to be his guarantee.

Drill Sergeant tour. Very regimented and disappointing. - They did find a few dolphins, but not very many. Maybe 10 or 12 that we only saw for about 45 seconds. They ran the tour like you are in the Army. We’re on vacation, don’t order us around like we’re Privates in the Army. The Skippers First Mate yelled the entire time. Very uneasy. I’ve been on over two dozen similar tours and I’ve never been treated like that. Would not recommend this tour.
