Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The crew is friendly and amazing. They provide vegan and turkey wraps so as a Muslim I feel save to have them. The only thing I want them to know is I think the photo package is too expensive. Probably you guys can reconsider the price cause when I had parasailing activities, I paid $45 and they put all of my pictures in an SD Card.

We had a great trip! Boat was super clean and well maintained. Crew was very friendly and helpful. We got to see spinner dolphins swim around the boat for a good amount of time, then had lunch and snorkeling. Due to the rough water we ended up snorkeling a little closer in, we saw about 6 sea turtles which was truly beautiful! Kids enjoyed the water slide and paddle board as well. Only took off the last star because there weren’t tons of fish, but everything else was awesome!

We really saw dolphins! There is a guide who can speak Japanese, so you can rest assured.
It had been over 15 years since I last swam, so to be honest, it was really tough to jump into the strong waves offshore and follow him (my husband can't swim, so he retired after the first dive), but it was a great memory.
When I snorkeled in the shallow water, the waves were calm and even my husband, who can't swim, was able to go into the water and see some sea turtles. We had a wonderful photographer take a lot of pictures, so we were able to get some memories of her husband at the beach, who didn't spend much time at the beach!
The service was also good and I was very satisfied. it's recommended.

My son (nine years old) and I had the best time in this trip to snorkel with turtles! The crew was knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. We would definitely take another trip with them!

The boat ride made me extremely Sea sick
So I couldn’t participate in the activities. The most memorable thing about it was the beautiful prayer we sang to the ocean asking for safe travels. I had chills as the wind blew on my face and I felt so much peace. After we threw our flowers in the ocean, spinnaker dolphins immediately showed up and gave us a spectacular show. It was pure magic. My friends who weren’t seasick said the best part was the snorkeling and paddle boarding. The crew was very nice and helpful to
Me while I was sick. My friends didn’t really like the dolphin swim part because it was chaotic and not
Much result. It was better to view the dolphins from boat than trying to follow them around in the ocean. I think I got sick because we went around in circles searching for the dolphins.

Aloha, thank you for sharing your experience on our dolphin swim and snorkel tour. We apologize for any feelings of discomfort on some parts of our tour. We recommend taking seasickness medication an hour before boarding our boats and will look for better ways to express this to our guests. We are glad you were still able to see dolphins from the boat and that you felt the magic of our Oli chant. We hope to see you again in the future. Mahalo for choosing Iruka

Amazing outcome seeing Orcas. Boys and myself were blown away and the crew were so great being excited to see the whales themselves but still had their tour guide hats on and did what was best for us. All the stars for the crew Mahalo
