Iruka Hawaii

Waikiki Turtle Canyon Snorkel

The Waikiki Turtle Canyon Snorkel departs from Kewalo Basin Harbor in Honolulu, a short drive from the Waikiki area and right next to Ala Moana Beach Park. The trip includes a scenic cruise along the Waikiki coastline toward Diamond Head and a snorkeling stop at Turtle Canyon, where Hawaiian green sea turtles live alongside coral reefs and tropical fish. Expert guides share information about the turtles during the outing. All snorkel gear, masks, fins, and life jackets are provided, and no prior snorkeling experience is needed. Guests should arrive early, since check-in opens before the boat departs and the boat leaves on schedule. Food and beverages are welcome on board, and alcohol is permitted as long as it is not in a glass bottle. Transportation to the harbor is not included, so plan to get there independently. Private charter options are available by request. The operator can be reached by phone for scheduling questions or changes.

Catamaran Dolphin Watching with Water Activities & Snorkel

This tour departs from Waianae Small Boat Harbor on Oahu and begins with a traditional Hawaiian oli, an ancient prayer for safe passage, before the catamaran heads out to search for wild Hawaiian spinner dolphins. Dolphins are watched from the boat as they move through their natural habitat. After the dolphin watching, the catamaran moves to a snorkeling spot on the west side of Oahu, where guests can snorkel and look for sea turtles and reef fish. The double-decker catamaran, Poseidon, has a water slide, a climbing wall, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and a large floating mat, along with shaded deck space and restrooms. Lunch and soft beverages are included, as are snorkel gear and life jackets. Transportation is available from Waikiki and Ko'Olina for those who prefer not to drive to the harbor. Free public parking is available at the harbor for guests who drive themselves. The tour suits families, children of activity age and anyone who enjoys outdoor water activities. Military and Kamaaina rates are available.

Catamaran Swim with Dolphins

Catamaran Swim with Dolphins departs from Waianae Small Boat Harbor on Oahu, where guests board a catamaran and head out along the Waianae coastline to swim with wild dolphins in the open ocean. The tour also includes a water slide, paddle boards, and snorkeling, making it a good fit for families and beginners who want a mix of activities in one outing. Snorkel gear, lunch, and beverages are all included. Transportation from select hotels in the Waikiki area is available, and free public parking is at the harbor for those who drive themselves. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated on request, and guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks. Alcohol is permitted as long as it is not in a glass bottle. If no dolphins appear, the operator will offer a spot on a future tour at a reduced rate rather than a refund. Check-in at the harbor opens before the tour begins. Private charters are also available for groups who want the boat to themselves.

Waikiki Sunset Cruise

Naturalist guides share information about the surrounding marine life and Hawaii's marine ecosystem. During the winter months, from December through March, whale watching is also part of the experience, and the trip runs slightly longer during that season than it does the rest of the year. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages, including alcohol, though glass bottles are not permitted on board. The cruise is operated by Iruka Hawaii and is suited to those who want to see the Waikiki coastline from the water and watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean. The duration varies by season, with the whale-watching period covering December through March and the standard season running April through November. Cancellations must be made by phone rather than email, and the operator's contact number and business hours are provided in the booking details.

Speed Boat Swim with Dolphins

Once underway, guides lead a safety briefing and an oli, a chant in the ancient Hawaiian tradition. The itinerary includes a swim with dolphins, a dolphin watch, and a snorkel stop at a reef area where sea turtles and tropical fish are present. Whales may also be spotted during certain months of the year. Snorkel gear, including a mask and fins, and a safety jacket come with every booking. Transportation to the harbor is also included. Prescription masks are available on request. Wetsuit rentals are available for an added fee, payable by card or Venmo at the harbor. Guests may bring their own food and non-glass beverages, including alcohol. This tour suits experienced swimmers who are comfortable in deep, open water. Children must meet the minimum participation age.

Waikiki Whale Watch

Waikiki Whale Watch departs from Kewalo Basin Harbor and cruises along the Waikiki coastline toward Diamond Head in search of humpback whales during their seasonal return to the Hawaiian islands. The crew and captain introduce themselves at the start, walk guests through safety measures, and share information about the whales and the local area throughout the trip. A small snack, water, and hot cocoa or tea are provided on board. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages, though glass bottles are not allowed. Because whales are wild animals, sightings are not promised, but the operator offers free rescheduling when no whales or wildlife are spotted, subject to availability. Before heading out, plan to arrive at the harbor kiosk well ahead of departure. Bringing a jacket is recommended in case temperatures drop on the water. The schedule may shift depending on weather and ocean conditions.
