Best day ever in Hawaii!!! - Best day ever in our 2 weeks in Hawaii!! We booked this tour through Jeff Roberts and couldn’t be happier. Totally exceeded our expectations. Boat, staff (Stefen and crew), food and drinks were great. Snorkeling was excellent with turtles, eels, and tropical fish galore. We loved every minute of it and we’ll book more tours with this company in Kona!! Thank you so much IRUKA!!!

Amazing Experience with Fantastic Service! - We had an incredible time on this tour! The crew was extremely friendly and professional, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The highlight was definitely seeing **so many dolphins** swimming and jumping around our boat—it was absolutely magical! The snorkeling was also wonderful, with clear waters and beautiful marine life. But what really made the experience special was the **photographer**—he captured **stunning photos** of our adventure! The shots were so beautiful, and we’re thrilled to have these memories preserved so perfectly. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and unforgettable day at sea. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Unforgettable First-Time Adventure with Iruka - I had the most incredible first-time experience with Iruka Cruise! Swimming with dolphins and turtles, and even trying the slide, was absolutely magical. I was a bit nervous since I had a sea arc, but the team was incredibly attentive and supportive. They were with us in the water the whole time, making sure we felt safe and comfortable. Their care and professionalism truly made this experience unforgettable. Thank you, Iruka Hawaii dolphin, for making my dream come true!

Amazing Cruise and Better Crew - This was the best money spent on any activity. The whole crew was very nice and incredibly informative. They were happy to chat, explain things, and have a laugh. I honestly expected 1 or 2 dolphins, but there were easily 30+ around the boat We went with my son who is not yet 2, he did have a couple breakdowns and there was not a single issue. The crew was helpful and very chill with a baby being a baby. The first mate helped him get his life jacket on despite the tantrums. They helped get him on and off the boat for swimming. The whole crew deserves so much praise. I will definitely do this again if I come back to Hawaii. Well worth the money. It was an unforgettable experience, and the whole crew made sure it was the best experience possible for us.

It was one of my best memories in Hawaii! - We were able to see so many dolphins and whales from the top of the boat and also swim with sea turtles in the snorkel. I was worried because I couldn't swim, but it was no problem at all. The staff were also very friendly and kind, and it was really good to participate!!! Thank you very much.
