WHAT ARE GUESTS ARE SAYING

“My wife and I setup last minute three hour snorkeling tour with Iruka Hawai’i. Wow! What an amazing time. The staff-Trevor, Diego, and Tamar were organized, helpful, and very friendly. We made two stops to see abundant amount of tropical fish. Between our two stops we drove off shore looking for other wild life. The biggest treat was how they were able to locate a pod of pilot whales just two miles off shore.” – Russ Hattig
