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!

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!

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 .
