Amazing - Seeing wild dolphins swimming freely in the ocean was truly magical — they came so close, and we even had a chance to swim near them in their natural habitat. Not long after, we spotted several beautiful sea turtles and were able to snorkel gently nearby without disturbing them. It felt like being part of a real-life nature documentary!

Highlight of our trip! - This excursion was incredible. Captain Jason and Dallen were fabulous guides. Their knowledge, spirit, and enthusiasm was obvious and we loved being with them. We saw, and swam with, a very large pod of dolphins, huge sea turtles, and so many fish. We will never forget this experience!

An unforgettable experience – absolutely recommend - We did the Hawaii Iruka Dolphin Tour with Jason and Devlin (Delan?) – and it was simply amazing! Shortly after we started, we saw several dolphins up close – a magical moment! 🐬 Later on, we also encountered sea turtles and even a spotted eagle ray – it was incredible to see such a variety of marine life.
Jason and Devlin were fantastic! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They shared lots of interesting facts about the ocean and its creatures, and you could really feel their love and respect for marine life. 🐠💙
A huge thank-you for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure – we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Family fun day out - We had an unforgettable experience on the dolphin tour with Captain Jason and his amazing crew, Koa and Raoshi! From the moment we stepped aboard, the team made us feel welcome, safe, and excited for the adventure ahead. Captain Jason’s knowledge of the ocean and marine life was impressive, and his passion really set the tone for the day. Koa and Raoshi were incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of energy, making sure everyone had a great time. We were lucky enough to see several pods of dolphins up close — truly magical! The crew also provided great snorkeling opportunities and shared interesting facts throughout the tour. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the entire experience felt well-organized and relaxed. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. A perfect day on the water with a top-notch team. Mahalo, Captain Jason, Koa, and Raoshi!

In the same space as dolphins! - I used it while I was on Oahu for my honeymoon. If you are not good at swimming, I recommend it. I was impressed by the way you watch dolphins from above. The captain and crew will liven you up and support you well. Peace of mind when you have children. Swim in a life jacket. Swimming slowly to avoid creating splashes without rushing your feet clears your view and allows you to watch dolphins, their parents and children, and groups of dolphins pass by. We had several chances to see the dolphins safely. It seems that the shuttle bus is only available to English-speaking drivers, but the Japanese-speaking guide is always on board the boat. So we put it safely and securely in the water. Dolphins, sea turtles and whales can be seen in the cold weather. You can choose to see Oahu from a distance along the way or take a break on the boat if you get tired of swimming, depending on your physical condition. Snacks are included and if you can't eat it, you can take it home. If you're worried, don't forget to take some anti-sickness pills (^^)
