Best Turtle Snorkel Adventure Ever - This was an awesome adventure! I am a novice snorkeler and was very nervous about jumping in the water at Turtle Canyon. However, Brynn, my angle of the water, helped me feel safe and comfortable. The entire crew were awesome as well. Highly recommend Iruka to all visitors to Oahu.

100% Recommend! Family Friendly - 100% recommend! We had an amazing time! The first time our crew was Captain Nick, Taylor and Eugene (Japanese Translator) and they did a great job. My eight year old daughter instantly bonded with Taylor! Taylor was extremely patient and kind to her. The crew did a wonderful job making sure everyone was safe and still having a great time! The second time we had Brin, Maki (Japanese Translator), Sarah and Captain Cam or Noland..can’t remember and TAYLOR (again). The crew was fantastic. They provided everything we needed to feel safe, helped with goggles, constantly were available for questions or equipment issues, helped locate turtles and fish and overall were very friendly! Taylor and Maki were awesome with my kids! My eight year old even got a turtle while on vacation and named her Taylor after our snorkeling adventure. So thank you to everyone that made our snorkeling adventures awesome but a special shout out to Taylor that made one eight year have an adventure she will never forget!

Book your tour now! - Captain Nolan, Sara and Brynn were amazing! So kind, down to earth and informative with the animals we got to see! I cannot recommend booking any of their tours enough! We did the snorkel tour to see turtles and the whale watching tour. Both were a lot of fun.

So many turtles! - I honestly didn’t expect this to be that great… it was incredible! There were so many turtles and the whole experience was extraordinary. The crew made it for me though. I like to push limits, and Yuji very kindly helped keep me safe. He and Taylor showed me how to dive properly and enthusiastically shared about turtles and dolphins (oh yeah! Our captain, Nolan, spotted some dolphins and brought us in for a closer look as a bonus) - everyone was really fun and engaging. Highly recommended!!!

Exceeded Expectations! - My husband and I LOVED our experience with Iruka! The captain of the boat, staff, and photographer were incredibly kind, helpful, and fun! There were sea turtles EVERYWHERE as well as eels, dolphins, and tropical fish! We walked away with one-of-a-kind memories and photos!
