Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Perfect Cruise

Reviewed by: Terri&Rob

Wow, what a wonderful crew, boat and view.
These guys are serious about safety in a humorous way. The crew was attentive and hard working while making the experience fun for all.
We saw spinner dolphins. Then moved on to snorkeling with fish and turtles. The fins, snorkels and masks were great. They had sizes to fit everyone. Lunch and mai-tai's were wonderful as well. We were additionally impressed that they cared about the ocean environment.
Highly recommend these guys! Thanks for the great memories!

It's better than last time... 前回よりは。。

Reviewed by: UAUA

This was my second time participating, so I boarded the ship feeling reassured that it would be fun. However, the crew's energy and the differences in the ship I boarded meant it wasn't as exciting as I had expected. If I hadn't had the first experience, I would have rated it as enjoyable.

However, if this had been my first time, I might not consider repeating it.

今回は2度目の参加のため、きっと楽しいと安心しながら乗船しました。
ただ、なんというかクルーの方々のテンションや乗り込んだ船の違いもあって思っていたほど盛り上がりませんでしたが、一度目の経験がなければ楽しいという評価になったはずです。

ただ、今回が初めてであればリピートはしないかもしれないです。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Amazing Trip!

Reviewed by: Cmaher55

*Written by the teenager
My parents and I went on this snorkel trip as kind of a last minute thing and it was absolutely amazing. There is usually about 25 people on the boat but we got lucky and were aboard the boat with just one other family of three, also with a teenager. The snorkeling spot is perfect! I would definitely recommend bringing fins, they aren't provided or required but your experience will be much better with them. There are lots of fish but not a huge variety. The main thing is the turtles and there's plenty of those! They chill at the bottom and occasionally come up for air. If you have fins you can dive down about 15 feet and be near them. It's incredible being face to face with a turtle. The boat provides you with fun noodles if you would like to float at the top and look and that helped out the people who didn't bring fins. They also have one guy out there diving with you and keeping an eye on things which makes you feel really safe while snorkeling. After about 45 mins-hour, we got back on the boat and ate some sandwiches. There's drinks for sale as well. We then went on an hour long sail pretty far out there. If you don't mind getting wet you can sit or lay across the nets in the front and it's really fun. If you have younger kids or aren't comfortable in the water then I think you'll need to bring your own lifejacket. I'm sure they probably had them someplace on the boat but they weren't given to you and you don't really need them. All in all the trip was extremely fun and well worth the price ( which is better than any others we could find). Would definitely recommend this and we might even do it again before leaving for home.

The Turtles Invite You to Their Party

Reviewed by: Marisa


As soon as I walked on to the Spirit of Aloha boat, I knew it was going to be a good time. It wasn't too full, and it allowed for more room and comfort on the ride. Captain Dustin gave us a run down of the tour, and gave us free reign of the boat (less the Captain's chair of course). Masa helped us with our gear and Brad swam out to the snorkel spot with us. Yes, Brad knows where the turtles are. We saw tons of turtles, all with big personalities that were bigger than there shells. We twice got to see a turtle swim up to the surface! I never expected to see such humongous turtles. I named one of them Soldier because he was missing one flipper and the shell was pretty damaged, but he swam quite happily. I saw a pair of turtles even hold fins like buddies. It was too cute. The water was perfect and it was a beautiful day. We got back on the boat and Brad helped us with lunch. I highly recommend this snorkel cruise!

Reviewed by: Yoko

I came to Hawaii as part of my work and participated in a dolphin tour that I had been interested in for a while during my free time. The meeting time was early at 6 AM, but I was able to swim not only with dolphins but also with sea turtles and fish, and I got to experience kayaking as well. Additionally, there was a mini lesson for hula dancing that I could join! It was a half-day tour, and the staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun. I definitely want to participate again. If I had to mention something, the tour photos were available for purchase on a USB for $60, but when I looked at them later, I realized there weren't many of my photos, so while it was a nice keepsake, I felt it wasn't necessary to buy them.

仕事の一環でハワイに来て、自由時間に以前から興味のあるドルフィンツアーに参加しました。朝6時集合と早いですが、ドルフィンだけでなく、ウミガメや魚と一緒に泳ぐことができましたし、カヤックなども体験できます。それから、フラの体験ミニレッスンにも参加できます!半日のツアーですが、スタッフも明るくて楽しかったです。ぜひ、また参加したいです。敢えて言うなら、ツアーの写真をUSBで60ドルで購入できるのですが、後で見たら自分の写真はあまりなかったので、記念にはなりますが購入の必要はなかったかなと思いました。

I was healed by many wild dolphins. たくさんの野生のイルカに癒された

Reviewed by: ヒトン

I participated with my sister. A few years ago, I joined a tour on Oahu with a friend for the first time and was deeply moved, so I decided to share the same experience with my sister. The boat was significantly smaller than the one I had been on before, and since there were many participants that day, we had to sit in a position where it was difficult to see outside the front of the boat (I could barely see through a foggy small window by standing up), which made it a bit cramped and I ended up feeling a little seasick. At one point, our seats became a storage area, and we had nowhere to sit. I had never felt uncomfortable during my previous participation, so I felt sad thinking it shouldn't have been like this. If I had experienced something like this during my previous participation, I might have chosen a different tour instead. (If the Japanese guide had shown a bit more consideration, it might have felt completely different...)

However, I was able to see many dolphins and three baby sea turtles, which quickly lifted my spirits. In the end, we danced the hula and had a fun time returning.

I heard that they will be purchasing a larger boat for the summer, so I would like to consider joining again during my next visit.

姉と二人で参加しました。数年前に初めてオアフ島へ友人と行った際に参加をさせて頂き、大変感動した為、姉にも同じ思いを。。。との気持ちで参加を決めました。以前乗船した船より大分小さくなっており当日は参加者が多かった為、船の先端の 外が見ずらい(立ち上がってようやく曇った小窓からすこし見える程度)位置に座り窮屈だった為少し船酔いをしてしまいました。途中から私たちの席は荷物置き場になってしまい座る席がなくなりました。以前参加した時は不快な思いをする事が一度もなかった為、こんなはずではなかったとの思いにかられ悲しくなりました。以前参加した時が今回のような体験をしていたらこちらのツアーではなく違うツアーにしていたかもしれません。(日本語ガイドの方の気遣いが少しでもあれば気持ち的には全く違ったかもしれませんが、、、)
しかし、たくさんのイルカと海亀親子3匹に会う事が出来て、悲しい気持ちは一気に吹っ飛びました。 最後はフラダンスを踊り楽しく帰って来れました。

夏には大きい船を購入されるそうなので、次回訪問時はまた検討したいと思います。

Thank you for using our services.
Upon review, it appears that the size of the ship is the same as before, but you may have felt cramped due to the seating arrangement on board.
We will communicate the lack of consideration from our local staff to the operating company and strive to improve our services in the future.

This was my sixth time participating. I was really happy and excited to see that a crew member from three years ago has become the captain! This time, while searching for dolphins, we unexpectedly encountered a whale, which is rare for this season! I was so thrilled to see its tail fin! We also saw the most dolphins I've ever seen, and when I dove in to swim with them, it was incredibly close and very healing. I'm looking forward to participating again next time!

This time, we traveled with our children, but we participated in this tour as a couple. It was fun to see sea turtles up close and observe tropical fish. If you have children who can swim, around elementary school age, they can participate with confidence. (In fact, there were also children who appeared to be in elementary school with us.) The guide spoke in English and was very kind.

今回は子供たちも一緒の旅行だったのですが、このツアーは夫婦で参加しました。ウミガメが本当に近くにいて、熱帯魚も観る事ができて楽しかったです。小学生くらいの泳げるお子さんなら安心して参加できます。(現に、小学生らしき子供たちも一緒でした)ガイドさんは英語でお話しされていましたが、とても優しかったです。

Although the morning was early, I had the chance to see dolphins twice and was thrilled right away. During free time, I was lucky to swim with sea turtles as well. I actually didn't have high expectations for the hula, but I ended up participating enthusiastically with flower decorations and a pareo (sarong) at the end (laughs). It was fun all the way to the end!

The staff were all kind and helped create a lively atmosphere, allowing us to fully experience the Hawaiian vibe. Now that I'm back home, I'm still enjoying the memories while looking at the pictures I purchased. This became my best memory in Hawaii. Thank you very much!

朝は早かったもののイルカは2度も見に行く機会をもらってたっぷり見られて早々に大興奮。フリータイムではウミガメとも一緒に泳げてラッキーでした。実はあまり期待してなかったフラも花飾りやパレオをつけて最後はノリノリで参加(笑)最後まで楽しかった!

Snorkeling for the Family

Reviewed by: Petals4Zuzu

The crew was great, the ship was great, the meal was very good, the cruise was exciting and the snorkel equipment was excellent. The water was particularly choppy due to high winds and that made snorkeling for only the fittest among us difficult. The two youngest (12 and 17) had no problem and were in fact the last ones out of the water. We saw a couple sea turtles, a bottle-nose dolphin, and a couple pods of humpbacks (in the distance). Overall, circumstances beyond the crew's control being what they were, we really enjoyed this excursion.

Perfect trip. Short ride out to snorkel, but diverted a few minutes to see dolphins. Snorkeling was great. Instructions for first timers, but we had Done before. My 14 & 17 year olds loved it. Swamnright up to turtles and fish. Hope my underwater pics come out. After about 45 minutes, came aboard for quick lunch and drinks. Then took about an hours sail out past diamond head. Very relaxing on the nets but you will get soaked. Also, I read one review about being uncomfortable and unable to sit in nets??? There were plenty of places to sit elsewhere and out of the spray. Sounds like they may have been on the wrong boat. Anyway, I highly recommend and will maybe do a sunset cruise next time. This 50+ from Georgia had a blast.

I had the best experience! 最高の経験をさせていただきました!

Reviewed by: SUNAPLE

First of all, no one in our family speaks English. I can only convey about 20% of what I want to say (laughs).

Even with an English guide, we were particularly fine. As long as we didn't engage in any reckless behavior, there was no danger aside from natural disasters.

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, a sea turtle appeared right away. Just being able to see it from the boat made me 80% satisfied, but I was also able to see it up close underwater.

The moment it came up for air was just a brief instant, so even if I spotted it from a distance, I wouldn't have made it in time. But it happened to come up nearby, and I hurried over. It was an emotional moment.

We foolishly brought our 2-year-old, 4-year-old, and 6-year-old with us, but the guides were always there to lend a hand when the kids came up, helping them back onto the boat and checking if they were okay.

The kids quickly got back on the boat, leaving dad as the babysitter.

I wanted to see the turtle one more time, but as everyone started to get out, it felt like it was coming to an end, so I decided to get back on the boat. I happened to tell the guide who was in the water, in broken English, "I wanted to swim with the turtle..." and he said, "Come on!" He was inviting me to come over to see it.

In that moment, I decided to forget about dad and the kids on the boat and hurried to follow him. He was clearly experienced and found a turtle on the ocean floor. But when I looked, it looked more like a rock than a turtle. Then he offered to lend me his camera. When I handed it over, he took pictures of the turtle on the ocean floor. (When I saw them later, they were really great photos!!)

Just as we were about to head back to the boat, another turtle appeared right in front of us! I had heard that touching them would incur a fine, but due to the waves, I almost touched it. To be able to see it at such a close distance was amazing! I was so thrilled.

Thanks to the guide's actions, we had the best experience. I am truly grateful.

For tips, there was a huge transparent bottle on the boat where we were supposed to put them, but I wanted to give him a personal tip. However, since there was a container for tips, even if I just handed him cash, I would still have to put some in the bottle, so I hesitated about giving him a partial amount... (this is where I felt like a typical unsure Japanese person...) In the end, I just put it in the bottle. I might have been better off giving him $10 or $20...

Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

最初に、我が家は誰も英語が話せません。しいていえば私が言いたいことの20%ぐらいを伝えられる、という程度(笑)

英語のガイドですが、そんな我が家でも特に大丈夫でした。自然災害以外は、逸脱した行為をしなければ危険もありませんので。

シュノーケリングポイントについたとき、すぐに海亀が現れました。船上から見ることができて、もうそれだけで80%満足した私ですが、なんと水中から間近に見ることもできました。

息継ぎにあがってくるのはほんの一瞬なので、遠くに発見しても泳いでも間に合いません。でもたまたま近くに上がってきて、急いで近寄りました。感動でした。

我が家は無謀にも2歳、4歳、6歳を連れての参加だったのですが、どの子があがるときにもガイドさんたちが手を差し伸べてくれて船に上げてくれたり、大丈夫か声をかけてくれたり。

子どもたちはすぐにあがってしまい、子守役にパパが船上に。

私はもう一度ぐらい亀に会いたいなぁと思いましたが、だんだんみんなが上がってしまって、もう終わりという雰囲気になったので、船上に上がろうとしました。たまたま海中にいたガイドさんに「亀と泳ぎたかったぁ・・・」と片言の英語で言ったら「カモーン!」と。見せてあげるからおいで、というのです。

もうその瞬間に船上にいるパパと子どもたちは忘れることにして、慌ててついていきました。さすがに慣れていて、海底にいる海亀を発見するのです。でも私が見ても亀というより岩。するとカメラを貸してごらんと。それで渡したら海底にいる亀を撮影してきてくれました。(あとで見たらすごく良い写真でした!!)

さて船に戻りましょう、というとき、たまたま目の前にまた亀が!!
触ったら罰金だと聞いていましたが、波のせいで触れてしまいそうでした。そんな距離で会えるなんて!!大感激しました。

ガイドさんの行為のおかげで、最高の体験ができました。本当に感謝です。

チップは船上にある透明の巨大なペットボトルみたいなものに入れるのですが、なんとなく彼には個人的にチップをはずませて差し上げたくて、でもチップの入れ物はあるし、彼にだけ渡してしまうにしても、そっちの容器にも入れるから全額渡すわけにもいかないし、でも中途半端な金額渡すのって変だし・・・と悩んでしまい(このへんが慣れない日本人ぽい・・・)結局ボトルに入れるだけにしてしまいました。彼に10ドルでも20ドルでも渡せば良かったかも・・・。

素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました!!

The snorkeling spot was perfect! We were able to swim inches from turtles, see all kinds of fish and the staff members brought an octopus and starfish to the surface for us to touch.
The sailing part afterwords was beautiful and the boat had a netted spot to sit in if you want to go on a Disneyland type splash ride.
The signature cocktail is delicious too!!
I can not recommend this enough!
