Best experience ever! Bucket list checked. - My mom and I step outside our comfort zone and did this. Best decision ever. Our guides were beyond awesome and amazing! They helped my mom out so much. She was afraid and they got her back to the boat with ease. While I said in and enjoyed the sites of turtles, a star fish, and all the fish just swim by underneath us. If you have to choose with company to go with go with Iruka Hawai’i. They were just amazing. Sam, Katie, Kristine and the caption!!!

You can see cute turtles up close! - He and his wife participated. The wind was strong that day and the sea water was a little muddy, but I could see turtles up close and it was very cute. There were quite a lot of other fish, too, which was a sight to behold. If you are lucky, you can see dolphins and whales too✨ We made it the type with a Japanese guide, but he was cheerful and good to talk to, which was fun!
