Best Tour Staff We've Ever Had - Iruka was amazing to work with! Our originally booked tour never showed up. Iruka was at the same location as the one that never showed. Iruka’s staff bent over backwards to help get us on one of their tours that was leaving that same morning. They were so friendly and kind. They never acted like we were an inconvenience or a burden.
During the tour all staff were amazing and friendly. They clearly explained what to expect during the tour and what to consider before jumping into the water. For example, to be in the water near the dolphins, you will need to jump into the water while the boat is moving and them swim quickly away from the boat with the staff. This information was really important because it allowed my mom to make the smart decision to stay on the boat instead of going into the water as originally planned. Despite staying on the boat, Mom enjoyed watching the dolphins swimming and jumping. In fact, she probably had a better view of the dolphins than those of us in the water.
The staff were wonderful with both adults and kids. I watched them help kids who started to panic in the water. They were great at calming them down and provided any additional assistance they could to make everyone’s tour enjoyable.
I would greatly recommend this company to anyone looking to do tours.

Dolphin Deluxe Tour - Had an amazing time!
We were very fortunately to be able to swim with 2 different pods of dolphins, but one group was alot more friendly than the other.
Definitely worth the money and the early morning start.
However you need to be a strong swimmer to keep up with the front of the group to be able to see the dolphins.
A few people stayed on board the boat and said the captain was also amazing at maneuvering the boat around so they could also get close enough to get some photos as they were all close to the surface, which wasn't always the case.
Staff were very friendly and made my family feel so welcome and taken care of as we had some nauseous people in our group.
Big shout out and Mahalo to our crew Drew, Geylen, Joanna, Laura, photographer Uyaya and caption Steph.
