The Iruka team were... - The Iruka team were amazing! This was definitely the highlight of my trip to Hawaii. Convenient hotel pick up from Waikiki early in the morning to get into the water as early as possible. We were fortunate to have a small group on the boat and I truly appreciated the very personal touch and interaction we could have with the crew, and their thoughtful and considerate care. We had 3 dolphin drops and swam (at a safe distance) with 3 different pods of spotted dolphins! After the dolphin drops we had a laid back snorkel at the reef to see turtles and other fish, and then wrapped up with a turkey sandwich all included. Great preparation from the friendly crew, Captain Stef, guide Brooke and Yuya our photographer. A gorgeous, perfect morning in nature.
Photo and video package is not included in the package price and has to be purchased separately, but worth buying if you want to live in the moment while swimming with the dolphins not having to worry about your own camera.

Magnificent !!!!! - First, I had a great experience and would highly recommend. The tour was incredibly well-managed. The captain and all crew are excellent guide and extremely attentive to every participants that made us feel safe and comfortable. They are proficient, knowledgeable, respectful, very friendly, kind, funny, and tried their best to make our tour enjoyable.
Watching dolphins and swimming in ocean was wonderful and magical experience. We also saw many turtles and swam with them closely.
Thank you so much Mr. Ryuichi for driving a long way between the hotel and the harbor safely and guided us whole time.
A special talented photographer, Mr. Yuya, known as Japanese Clark Little, guided us and took an amazingly beautiful wonderful world-class pictures and videos.
Thank you so much for everything.
Sending very best wishes to Iluka Hawaii.

Best Dolphin Excursion! - This was the best boat dolphin experience I've had. I know dolphins were not guaranteed, but these boys made sure we had the gear and were ready. It didn't take long before we found them. Yuya was our picture guy an d so enthusiastic about the ocean, dolphins and everyone on the boat. Yuya made us laugh and smile. He stayed with us tracked dolphins and shot pictures underwater of all the animals we saw. We swat least 4 species that day. We go free time to snorkeling the reef and chase water bubbles & swim with fish At the end of the day we had the option to buy the photos he took. I got them all.
I wold definitely do this trip again. Thank you Captain and crew for providing our group with a great time. Hope to see you next time.

Amazing and Worth Every Penny! - Our family did the Speed Boat Swim with Dolphins on Aug 4 and it was nothing short of amazing. Captain Jason, Koa and Ryuchi (sorry if I misspelled) were welcoming and full of energy. They truly treated it like an adventure and it was obvious that while this was work to them, they love their job. We were able to get four drops and some of those were right near a nursery pod so we were able to see babies with their mommas. It was the best excursion our family has done on any vacation and if we find ourselves back in this beautiful state, we will definitely be signing up for another one with them. The name Kolohe has followed my nine year old back home with us and we are happy to be a part of the Iruka Ohana :)

Unfortunately no swimming with dolphins - Unfortunately, we cannot fully agree with the very positive reviews. We participated in the tour for swimming with dolphins in Oahu. Much of the time was spent organising, picking up and returning the participants. We only saw dolphins from a distance, a swim with them – as announced in the tour description – unfortunately did not take place. When dolphins were sighted, a lot of time passed before everyone was in the water, so the chances were very low. Overall, we found the tour very expensive in relation to the price. It was also a pity that we were not offered a (partial) refund, but only a discount for another tour – which is unfortunately not an option for guests from Germany. The tour itself was not extended to search for more dolphins.
