Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

Sunset dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Trish

Just did the Snorkel and Sunset dinner cruise. I would definitely do this again. The. Staff was absolutely awesome and very very patient. I sometime feel very constrained with all the rules but the staff did a very good job explaining why they have to do what they do to keep all of us safe and still have the best time. The music was great, the food was wonderful. And everybody on the boat seemed to have a good time. Oh and the sunset on the water was epic. I highly recommend this to all!

West Oahu Dolphin Watch & Reef Snorkel Tour with Ocean Activities - Iruka Hawaii

Incredible Experience

Reviewed by: Jess Detko

Absolutely incredible experience! Every crew member was friendly, knowledgeable, and joy to be around. We saw two large pods of dolphins (crew estimated each pod to be about 100 spotted dolphins) - it was awe inspiring to see these beautiful animals in their natural environment. After two separate snorkel tours for dolphins, we moved to shallower water for various activities - the crew members were so helpful and great with kids wanting to try everything! Splurge and purchase the professional photos! We highly recommend this tour to everyone and will definitely go again the next time we visit.

Too Crowded

Reviewed by: Megan Rish

The dolphin tour was so crowded and even though the guide was friendly and the people were very friendly there were just too many. Many people didn’t actually get to see the dolphins in the water and were being kicked with fins because of how crowded it was. We will not be doing that again unless there are less people.

Great crew, awful photographer

Reviewed by: Cece

The crew were friendly, but the photographer was no good. Don’t purchase the pictures. They are not worth it. She basically only took pictures of u on the boat, which u can also do with your own camera. When it’s time to go under water, the photographer was too busy snorkeling herself. We had to chase her down for some pictures, but it came out super blurry. At the end when the pictures package were emailed to us, it consists many Google under water sea life images. I’d recommend u bring ur own phone with waterproof pouch, the pictures will be so much better.

I think I came to Hawaii for this. This made me like Hawaii! The first thing I did after iClouding every video of dolphins was buying a shirts that says i love hawaii.

Not covid safe

Reviewed by: Sheila

While the tour itself was great- we did see dolphins and turtles- this company has no regard for covid protocols. They pick you up and I asked prior to see if they enforced masks on the bus- as that is the law. They assured me they were. When we got picked up the driver wasn’t wearing a mask! When I asked him he basically ignored me. Half the passengers weren’t. My family double masked but with no windows open it was very unsafe. If you want a safe experience- I would not pick this company.

Worth every penny, We will be doing this again when we return to the islands. The crew was friendly, interactive with everyone, and also very caring and attentive to the folks that didn’t have their sea legs. The day we went, we swam with 3 spinner dolphins, and some bottle nose, then on the way to the coral reef we saw a pod of over 500 dolphins. The snorkel, slide, paddle board spot was rad as well, legit like diving into a nature film. Getting to see a sea turtle in nature was just an amazing end to an already awesome day! To the crew and cpt. Mahalo for such a great adventure!

3-Hour West Coast Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise, Lunch, Drinks & Transportation

Nothing special.

Reviewed by: OKM

This excursion was okay at best. Though we were able to see dolphins, which was lovely, the snorkeling was blah. First the company took us south along the island, versus out into the ocean, and guided us snorkeling right by a power plant on the shoreline. There were some pretty fish, maybe 3-4 different species. The coral was not colorful; they informed us that is typical for Hawaii. Friends we have that live on the islands state there are beautiful coral reefs, you just need to know where to find them. Apparently, this company does not know where to find these reefs. The catamaran ride was just lovely, but that's it. Again, nothing special. The crew were fine when talking to us as a group but not one-on-one. Then they seemed guarded and annoyed. I would not recommend this excursion.

So much FUN! Worth every penny!

Reviewed by: HAPPY IN HAWAII!!

First, the crew was amazing! They were so helpful and made sure we were well equipped to enjoy every minute we were on this adventure. I was so excited to see the dolphins- I started hyperventilating a little as I was swimming toward the cree member that was finding the dolphin pods for our group. I didn’t want to cause a fuss or embarrass myself - so I just tried to calm myself and was promptly helped by another crew member who saw me and helped me to relax and calm my breathing so I could continue swimming. After watching the dolphins for several minutes under the water- they started showing off for us and jumping out of the water. It was thrilling. We stayed in the water for 20-30 min it seemed and I was amazed by the beauty of it all. Then we all returned to the boat - and we’re offered snacks and water and we traveled to a reef where we got back into the water and saw many fish and a sea turtle and snorkeled around looking at all the sea life as the captain anchored the boat and crew members inflated a large slide on the boat. The photographers were very attentive- and if you paid for a photo package- they made sure they took every picture possible of you. I’m 51 and I had a blast on the slide along with my daughter who is 19. Finally, when it was time to go- we were offered food again as the crew entertained us with dancing and music all the way back to shore. We returned to our hotel by 1pm (6 hours after the start) WORTH EVERY PENNY!! We crashed the rest of the day having had so much fun! THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!

We couldn’t” be happier with the whole adventure. Relaxing, exciting, entertaining, and educational all in one trip. We were fortunate to have everything we expected. We learned to snorkel. We saw many beautiful fish while in the water, attracting many by using the fish food we bought and scattering it around. While on board we learned a bit about the Catamaran we were on and how it was sailed. The sights were identified and all our questions were answered by the knowledgeable seaman. They offered many fun facts as well along the way. They were alway alert to our needs, assuring that we had fun and stayed safe. When the dolphins appeared, the nature and habits of the creatures were discussed, The differences between the type of dolphin following the boat and other dolphins was made. We were fortunate enough to have a sea turtle come and check us out as well. The people we had on board with us were friendly and polite and enjoyed the trip as well. I heard no complaints from anyone. I would recommend this company for this adventure to anyone who wants to have a fun snorkeling trip with a great crew, and an adventure that is safe and informative.

Amazing Day!

Reviewed by: Heather

The experience on this trip was amazing. We are avid snorkelers and love the ocean and animals so our expectations were high. The crew was friendly, fun, kind, (even when we had to be reminded of the safety rules because we got a bit excited when we saw the dolphins) professional, talented and explained the rules and safety precautions very well. We saw a large pod of dolphins as we swam in the bluest of water, sighted whales, snorkeled with tropical fish and two turtles and cruised down the gorgeous West coast listening to Hawaiian music. Magical. Group tours have there frustrations because of the number of people trying to see things at the same time but as far as group tours go this was one of the best we have done! We appreciated the Aloha we received from all the crew! You will not regret going on this trip! Mahalo to all the crew and Tommy who greeted us on the docks.

wild dolphins 野生のイルカ

Reviewed by: ハワイ初デビュー

First of all, if you are thinking about swimming with dolphins, it's better to refrain from participating. You will only be able to see the dolphins swimming on the ocean floor from above, and that lasts just a moment.

To catch that brief glimpse, you will be waiting on the boat for a long time. However, the excitement and sense of achievement when you finally see them is incredible. I was thrilled.

You will be swimming tirelessly to reach the dolphins' location, so it can be tiring. But it's fun. You must have the determination to see the dolphins. Once everyone has seen them, there will be free time with activities like a slide, which is very enjoyable.

By the way, I heard that on the previous day's tour, they weren't able to see any dolphins, so it can depend on luck. Also, it gets cold on the way back, so don't forget to bring a jacket. I think it's a good idea to change out of your swimsuit in the restroom as well.

まずはじめにらイルカと一緒に泳げるとかと思ってる方は、参加をご遠慮したほうが良いです。　
イルカが海底で泳いでいる姿を上から眺める程度です。それも一瞬です。
この一瞬を見るためひたすら船の上で待機です。その分、見れたときの感動や達成感はすごかったです。興奮してました。
ただイルカがいる位置までひたすら泳ぐので、疲れます。でも楽しいです。絶対イルカ見てやるという気持ちでひたすら泳がなければなりません。全員が見れたら、スベり台など自由時間となります。とても楽しいです。
ちなみに、前日のツアーではイルカを見ることができなかったと言ってましたので、運にも左右されます。
こちらのツアーも帰りは寒いので上着などは忘れずに。トイレで水着から着替えるのも良いかと思います。

This was my fourth dolphin tour. This time, I participated with my son and his wife. After hearing my stories, they were both eager to go and looking forward to it. The waves were calm, the temperature was pleasantly warm, and we were blessed with great weather, which was completely different from last time. The number of dolphins we encountered was by far the highest this time! The clarity of the water was also the best it has ever been! We saw a lot of fish too! My son and his wife were very satisfied and said they would definitely go again next time. I've participated multiple times, and the staff has always been very nice. The tour bus seems to get more luxurious every time I join (laughs). I definitely want to participate again, no, I will participate!!

今回で4回目のイルカツアーでした。
今回は息子夫婦と3人で参加しました。
私の話を聞いて、二人とも絶対行きたいと、楽しみにしていました。
波も穏やかで、気温も程よく暖かく、前回とは全く違って天気に恵まれました。
イルカと会えた数、今回がダントツで一番でした！
海の透明度も今回が最高でした！魚もたくさん見れました！
息子たちも大満足で、次回も絶対に行くと言っていました。
何回も参加していますが、スタッフの方もとてもいい感じです。

It was mid-March. Since the mornings are early, the sea is still cold and chilly. The boat also sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to consider taking some medication. We were able to see a lot of wild dolphins. I was really happy because I don't think there are many opportunities to see them. Although the mornings are early, the tour ends in the morning, so you can relax and fully enjoy Hawaii in the afternoon.

3月中旬でした。朝が早いのでまだ海は冷たく寒いですね。
船も結構揺れますので酔いやすい人は酔い止め等の対応を考えた方がよいと思います。
野生のイルカはたくさん見れました。なかなか見る機会はないと思うので嬉しかったですね。

Reviewed by: すみちゃん親子

We participated as a family of three. The meeting time was early in the morning, but surprisingly, we received a wake-up call in our hotel room! The crew was incredibly energetic and worked hard to keep the atmosphere lively. We had a great time.

Whenever we spotted dolphins, we jumped in to see them. We repeated this a few times, going back and forth to where the dolphins were. (For those who are snorkeling for the first time, it might be a bit scary.) While there’s no worry of drowning since you wear a life jacket, the water is quite deep. The dolphins swam quite below us, and they were fast, so we couldn't see them up close, but we did get to see them jumping and swimming in groups.

A sea turtle swam slowly close to us, and my daughter was able to capture some photos of it up close. We also encountered whales from the boat.

The cheeseburger for lunch was quite substantial, and the pineapple was sweet and delicious! However, I think it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. If you don’t take precautions, it could be quite challenging. Floating and swimming in the deep sea is the most likely to cause seasickness.

At the end, we took a group photo, and they later sent the pictures via email. I think the service was attentive in every aspect.

We returned to Waikiki in the early afternoon, which allowed us to schedule other plans for the afternoon, so it was good to do it in the morning. Thank you for a fun day!

家族３人で参加しました。集合時間が早朝だったのですが、なんとホテルの部屋にモーニングコール(^^♪びっくりしました！
クルーの皆さんはめっちゃテンション高く、一生懸命盛り上げてくれ(^^)/
とても楽しく過ごせました。
イルカを見つけると、そこへ飛び込んでイルカを見る。また船でイルカのいる場所に行きイルカを見る・・・を何度か繰り返しました。
(シュノーケリング初めての方は怖いかもしれません）ライフジャケットを着ているので溺れる心配はありませんが、かなり深いので（汗）
イルカは私たちのかなり下を泳いでいて、スピードも早くてあまり近くでは見られませんでしたが、群れで海上をはねて泳ぐ姿も見れました。
ウミガメはゆっくり私たちの近くに泳いできてくれて、娘は至近距離で泳ぐ姿を撮影できました。船の上からは鯨にも会えました。
お昼のチーズバーガーはお肉がかなりボリュ－ムあり。パイナップルも甘くておいしかったです！
ただ、乗り物酔いする方にはかなりきついかと思います。対策していかないと、大変だと思います。船よりも、深い海で浮いて泳ぐことが一番酔います。

最後に全員で写真を撮り、後にメールで写真を送ってくださいました。
何から何まで行き届いたサービスだと思います。

ワイキキに戻るのはお昼過ぎ。午後からは違う予定を入れられるので午前にしてよかったです。
楽しい一日をありがとうございました！
