I could see a few stars in the night sky, and there were some small fireworks. However, the most difficult part was the crowded boat. There were too many people.
夜空から星が少しだけ見えたり、こじんまりした花火が観れたりってかんじでした。ただ、一番辛かったのが、満員の船でした。人が多すぎです。
Dear Shigeru,
Thank you for participating in the fireworks viewing cruise. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the view from the boat.
Thanks to your support, this tour has become quite popular and is always fully booked. I apologize for any discomfort this may have caused.
We are currently preparing to provide a larger boat for a more comfortable experience.
We would be delighted if you could join us again on your next visit to Hawaii.

I previously participated in another tour, but just before the trip, I found a free monitor tour for a second person and decided to go with this one. The shuttle service to the hotel was free, and along the way, the driver shared many recommended spots and shops.
We arrived at the yacht harbor early, and it was suggested that it would be cooler to wait in the car until the time, so we were allowed to wait inside the vehicle. All the other participants were foreigners, and all explanations and consent forms were in English, but it was perfectly fine even if you don't understand English at all.
You have to go barefoot on the boat, so I recommend wearing sandals. Inside the boat, bottled water and crackers with peanut butter were provided for free. You can bring your own alcohol, so everyone was freely putting it in their coolers.
There was time to swim until sunset, but the floaties were different from what I imagined; they were long, stick-like objects, so if you're not a good swimmer, I recommend bringing your own floatie.
The scenery was amazing! It was a breathtaking view like I had never seen before. I could see the moment the sun set clearly. On the way back, we could also see the night view, which was great!
以前は別のツアーに参加したのですが、旅行直前で2人目無料モニターツアーを見つけてこちらにしました。
ホテルまでの送迎は無料で、道中は運転手さんがオススメスポットやお店をたくさん教えてくれました。
ヨットハーバーへ早めに着くと、時間まで車で待ってたほうが涼しいとのことで、車内で待たせてくれました。
他の参加者は全員外国人で、説明や同意書も全て英語でしたが、英語が全然分からなくても大丈夫でした。
船は裸足で乗らなければならないので、サンダルで行くことをオススメします。
船内ではペットボトルの水とピーナッツクリームがサンドされたクラッカーが無料でした。お酒は持ち込み出来るので、みんなクーラーボックスに自由に入れていました。
サンセットの時間まで泳ぐ時間がありましたが、浮き輪は想像していたものとは違って長い棒状の物だったので、全然泳げない人は自分の浮き輪を持っていくことをオススメします。
景色は最高です!今まで見たことがないほどの絶景でした。太陽が沈む瞬間までハッキリ見えました。
帰りは夜景も見られるので良かったです!

It seems that the departure is after sunset to coincide with the fireworks, so the two hours in the dark are quite boring. It's impossible to swim, and I wonder where they expected us to swim?? There's no space to move since it's cramped, and we just have to endure sitting until the fireworks. It's cold, dark, and scary... and there's no restroom. I was looking forward to this since I had a great time on another company's catamaran last year, but it's disappointing.

The pickup car took a while to arrive, which made me anxious, but we managed to set sail.
Moreover, I was worried about what would happen since I heard that many activities were canceled due to a downpour right before we left, but once we set sail, it was truly Hawaii.
Swimming offshore was absolutely amazing; my whole family was very satisfied.
It's understandable that we can't control the weather.
We were able to see the sunset, and I definitely want to go again next time.
I accidentally left something in the pickup truck, which caused some trouble, but everything turned out fine, and I appreciated their sincerity.

While being caressed by the pleasant Hawaiian breeze, I distanced myself from the hustle and bustle of lively Waikiki and enjoyed the sunset and the night view over the beautiful sea, feeling isolated from daily life without any interruptions. Thank you for providing such a wonderful space and time that made everyday stress seem so trivial.
Also, the captain's dog was very clever and adorable. I heard that he was originally a rescue dog that the captain adopted. It seems that I was lucky to meet him since he is only available on Mondays. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate.

Unlike the hot daytime, the cool breeze while swaying on the boat made the sunset and the night view of Waikiki incredibly beautiful. I was a bit nervous since there were hardly any Japanese people and everything was in English, but Captain DJ took care of us and spoke to us in broken Japanese. I thought there might not be a sunset cruise for just female friends, but it was incredibly pleasant, and I'm glad I went. It might have been better that it wasn't aimed at Japanese tourists, as it allowed me to really immerse myself in the travel experience.
By the way, the pickup service is only available from limited locations, so I recommend negotiating to be picked up only for the return trip.
暑い昼間と違って涼しい風が吹く中、船に揺られて海の上から見る夕陽とワイキキの夜景がとっても綺麗でした。日本人がほとんどいないし、英語のみの対応なので大丈夫かなと緊張してましたが、キャプテンDJがわたしたちを気にかけて片言の日本語で話しかけてくれました。女友達同士でサンセットクルーズもないかなーと思いつつ参加しましたが、最高に気持ちよく、行って良かったです。かえって日本人向けじゃなくて、旅気分に浸れて良かったかも。
ちなみにピックアップサービスは限られた場所のみなので、帰りだけ乗せてもらうように交渉するのがおすすめです。

When I arrived at the meeting place on the reserved day, I was informed that only two groups were there and that we couldn't go out due to high waves. It was rescheduled for the next day. I wish they had contacted me in advance; it felt like a waste of the time I had prepared, so I gave it four stars.
The next day, more than six groups participated, and we set sail. The yacht was beautiful. The captain spoke a little Japanese and was considerate towards us; he was a kind person. The weather was great, and it felt wonderful and beautiful.
Although it was stated that only soft drinks would be provided, they served canned beer and wine, and there were fewer options for soft drinks.

A long-awaited trip to Hawaii to spend precious time with my daughter. I suggested a different way to spend our time compared to when she comes with her friends, and I made a last-minute reservation on the day of our arrival.
We waited for about 30 minutes at the pickup location... I was surprised, but I was able to wait because I confirmed by phone and there were other couples there as well.
We arrived at the port and took a boat out to sea. It was nice to have a leisurely time with a double rainbow and a sunset⛵️, but although it mentioned that soft drinks were included, there was no guidance on that... The service was lacking, so considering the price, it was a bit disappointing. Since I visit Hawaii every year and know other tours, my comments may be a bit critical.

We loved our time on the snorkeling and dinner cruise excursion. Well worth the price. Our captain gave great instruction and safety procedures. He also took us up snd close to a whale which gave us quite a show within 25 yards or so. The time by the shore snorkeling was impressive. Lots of fish.
The dinner was delicious with plenty of variety of drinks both spirited and not. I enjoyed the time to enjoy the sunset. Beautiful. There are two restrooms where you can change. Two shower hoses to rinse off after you snorkel. Staff was great. Underwater photographer was along for optional photo package you can purchase.

We were pretty disappointed with this trip. Just not as organized as we had hoped. We've been on many different snorkel trips over the years and this is one of the most unorganized we've attended. Competing boats seem to pass out gear and explain rules and safety regulations on the way to the destination. Then, once anchored, we can get in the water. This boat waits until we are on anchor, then starts the slow unorganized process of handing out gear. Takes way too long!
Food was decent, but mixed drinks were not! The captain, although tried to be funny, was not for the most part. We tried to have a conversation with him and generally got one word answers. So, he really wasn't interested in talking with us. When we were on anchor, he seemed to be more interested in flying his own personal drone around the boat.
The crew was nice and helpful, the captain, not so much! The best part of the trip was the photographer. Really a terrific individual, very personal with the guest and generally took an interest in the guest.
Overall, I wouldn't use this boat again.
Aloha and thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience on the Kai 'Oli'Oli. We are sorry your experience wasn't the best. Because of your feedback, we have thoroughly retrained the crew on how to efficiently conduct our snorkel preparation and briefings and have privately counseled the Captain about his disinterest towards you and your family. At our next crew meeting, we have food and beverage training scheduled in addition to our usual safety training. We strive to always have complete customer satisfaction and we know that at times we may fall short, so we truly appreciate your input. When you visit O'ahu again, please call us directly and we would like to host you on our boat and we will be proud to show you a better tour as a result of your review.

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.
The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.
The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

This sail packs in so much in the perfect amount of time. Not only do you get to sail along the west coast of Oahu, but you get to visit a great snorkel spot, eat your fill of delicious food and guzzle down lots of drinks!
I have done a lot of regular dinner cruises in Hawaii and in other states, but this one is definitely the most unique and you totally get a great bang for your buck. Since you are on the west side, you are literally right there as the sun dips below the horizon, and with a steady stream of drinks and as much food as you can eat, there isn't anything better!!!
The drive is like 40 minutes from Waikiki, but the transportation was comfortable and on-time. Great option if you don't want to drive and definitely a "must do" if everyone in your party is planning on knocking back a few.
Be sure to bring some cash to buy the photos that they take of you. The photographer is fantastic and takes TONS of pictures throughout the cruise, both in and out of the water. They put it on a USB drive for you and that way you don't have to worry about snapping shots and can just focus on having fun ^_^

My friends and I were finally able to get together on Oahu, and we knew that we wanted to spend it out on the water. This cruise was the perfect choice since we got to snorkel at TWO spots (both filled with fish, coral, urchins, etc.), sipped on cocktails, devoured plates and plates of food, watched the sunset AND got to see whales! We literally couldn't ask for more!
After leaving the harbor, we headed out to the first snorkel spot and got the first glimpse of whales and after we got out of the water (which was really warm by the way), we saw even MORE whales!
The food was really hearty and filling (pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, a really tasty pasta salad, white rice, veggies and fruit) and the crew kept all of our drinks topped up :)
Really happy that we got to go on this cruise, and can't wait to go again on my next visit!

Ocean Joy Snorkel & Sunset Dinner Cruise was worth every penny!!!! As Kamaaina, my husband and I enjoy participating in various so called "tourist" activities. Not everyone who lives in Hawaii has a boat...so activites that offer ocean fun is very appealing. The trip started with a very comfortable pick up and ride aboard a full sized air conditioned bus. The driver was even early for pick-up. Ocean Joy fulfilled our every need from the moment we arrived at the check-in location to the time we departed the boat. The staff were very attentive and informative. The food was plentiful and the bar was flowing. We experienced one of the best views of our local sunset and even got to see a whale breach off the side of the boat. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii and other "Locals" who are looking for new things to do.

After being in Hawaii for four days already and snorkeling each day, I am so glad I took with snorkel tour since it was by far the best snorkeling with beautiful reefs and sea life, and the photographer came into the water and took underwater photos of us! A jump drive with all the photos cost $40 and was well worth it! Of note do take some motion sickness medicine, you are on a boat! Overall I would highly recommend this trip to any one who wants to see great corral and beautiful sea life!

We came here on our honeymoon and we had an awesome experience with Ocean Joy Cruises. We scheduled for the shuttle service and the bus was right on time to pick us up from our hotel. There was a little traffic to Ko-Olina but wasn't too bad. The bus driver kindly guided us through the entire ride and it was comfortable. The cruise staff were friendly and generous. They provided everyone with ginger pills to avoid motion sickness. Snorkeling was great too. Too bad that we didn't get to see the turtles but it was fun! The food wasn't fancy or anything but it was delicious and that first sip of an icy cold beer after snorkeling was heavenly. While we were having dinner, we got to see the group of dolphins swimming right next to our cruise which was phenomenal. The sunset, of course, it was breathtaking moment. My husband and I really enjoyed the cruise and we will definitely come back with our family in the future.

first of all, people working on the boat was awesome, they were very very friendly, especially guy name mason was funny and very active and he was there every moment when we needed him
the boat was not too big and luckily we only had less than twenty people so a lot of room normally around forty people on the board. I suggest to take a pill before you go on because it really help you not to through up.
snorkeling was fun experience and they teach you everything you need to know and fun part was when you go into the water they feed the fish so the fish can come to you I'm talking about a lot of fish and it was so amazing and beautiful when can I get to see that many of fish.
after snorkeling it's cold right but this boat has warm water so you can take salt water out in warm water, that was pretty good idea for help from cold and windy weather.
the boat had every drink you could think of like from hot coffee to cold soda to alcohol beverage and people working on the boat took turn to be a bartender and they actually make good tasty drinks but just let you know that alcohol is only served after snorkeling.
I gotta talk and tell you about the food. it's most delicious Hawaiian pork bbq burger and charcoal grilled chicken was so so good and fresh Hawaiian fruits was one of my favorite
during the diner time captain called out to come out and we went out and guess what?!! dolphins were swimming by, not just one couple of Dolphins
it was my first time watching Dolphins swimming around and that was amazing time.
captain was very generous he didn't want us to miss every moment so he was keep looking out and around the ocean if anything it might be interesting for us.
overall this was the best experience for us and I truly and definitely recommend to try, love to go on the board and meet them again.

This was a wonderful experience. The driver Larry is amiable and knowledgable who provided all the information needed for the trip and he gave detailed description about the areas along the road. Crews on the boat are professional and helpful. They did an excelent job in making it an enjoyable trip on the sea. Watching the golden sun vanishing into the ocean, eventhough we did not make encounter with the dolphinss, yet it was an unforgetable pleasant experience.
