I saw a dolphin - The scenery was very beautiful and nice. It was a very valuable experience to see a pod of dolphins. Also, if I have an opportunity like this, I would like to experience it. It was great to see sea turtles too. The guide's behavior was also great. He was a very bright and nice person.

Snorkeling - During this snorkeling trip, I was able to swim with and see many dolphins, which was a great experience. I was also able to see turtles twice, which was a very valuable experience. I would like to let other people know about this and make this snorkeling famous.

Speedboat is the way to go! - So surreal! We swam with big pods of Dolphins, baby dolphins, turtles and reef fish. Lauren was an excellent instructor. A smaller boat with fewer people was ideal for personal space while connecting with marine life. Especially if everyone in your group is an adult. Larger vessels are more kids-oriented. Would book again!

The Best Most Memorable Day - This was THE 5-Star experience! Lauren, Alicia and Mike were great at making sure everyone saw turtles and dolphins. I swam 6" from a giant sea turtle and we saw both mother and calf of whales and dolphins. Such a great time, perfect weather and the kindest, most helpful and fun hosts. Thank you Iruka Hawai'i!

A wonderful new adventure - I really loved the snorkeling and seen all the fish and a couple of sea turtles. It was especially wonderful to be able to hold a live octopus.
I can’t wait until I come back to the island for another fun trip on the tour to visit the dolphins, oh and we saw whales how great is that .
