Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Ocean Joy Cruises, 92-100 Waipahe Pl Ko Olina Marina, Kapolei, Oahu, HI 96707-4293

Travel by our complimentary round trip transportation from Waikiki on a comfortable air-conditioned motor-coach to the marina where you will board our 61-foot (18.5-meter) Kai OliOli catamaran for your 3.5-hour cruise. You can choose from three departure times — morning, afternoon, or sunset — to suit your schedule.

Once we depart the marina, we’ll head north along the pristine western coast of Oahu to look for dolphins, whales (seasonal), flying fish, green sea turtles, and admire the beautiful unspoiled scenery. When your captain locates a pod of dolphins or whales, your boat stops to allow you to get an excellent view of the mighty mammals from the spacious deck. Your expert crew can answer any questions that you may have about the animals you see.

Afterward, your captain steers the boat into a special spot for snorkeling. We provide your snorkel gear and detailed safety and snorkeling instructions. We have a roomy, comfortable sitting area with wide steps to allow you to comfortably put your gear on and easily wade into the water. Once in, marvel at colorful corals and multitudes of fish for an hour of snorkeling with guides available to assist you with fish identification and safety.

Back on the boat, you can rinse off in one of the boat’s four warm, freshwater showers. Two changing rooms and restrooms are also available.

Once the snorkelers return to the boat, the crew serves a sumptuous Hawaiian buffet that includes teriyaki chicken, kalua pig (pulled pork), tossed salad, rice and fresh fruit along with your choice of beer, wine, mai tai, or margarita (up to four alcoholic drinks included). As you enjoy your meal, we begin a leisurely cruise back to the marina. Throughout the cruise

Throughout the tour, we serve unlimited bottled water and soft drinks while your captain and crew share the history and legends of the Waianae Coast. A professional photographer takes photos both above and under water which you have the option to purchase back at the dock before you depart.

Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes

Where do I start?? This was one of the best activities I've done in Hawaii and I've done so many. The boat, crew, and organization were wonderful and they kept it fresh and fun. Sometimes crews get tired of doing excursions over and over again and start to show boredom or lack of engagement but that was NOT the case on this cruise. GREAT CREW!! We had plenty of water and sun and saw the west coast of the island which is not overly populated so a nice change! We got out into the area to snorkel and within minutes of everyone going into the water the current picked up to 7mph (crazy strong) sending many out too far away from the snorkel area. About 8? maybe 10 people needed to be helped back to the boat very quickly and the captain made the call to pull everyone out quickly. The main guy in charge of safety said in his 8 years he had never seen something like that happen. The whole crew was amazing!!! They worked together to not panic anyone while they went out and brought person after person back. The captain was attentive and attuned to what was happening and they whole team worked together seamlessly; they've obviously trained many times for the situation. It was so very impressive and we all felt safe and that we were in very good hands. While there wasn't a lot of snorkeling due to the current, we did see some sea life and turtles, had a great cruise and introduction to the coastal landmarks, and a great lunch (drinks were excellent too). The only downside for me was a few very small kids that didn't need to be onboard. Other than that - FIVE STARS - THIS TEAM ROCKS IT!

Great experience from beginning to end. Bus on time and very nice color commentary on ride from WB Marriott to marina. Can't say enough good things about Capt Jim and his crew. Super nice and helpful. Excellent buffet lunch and beverages. Saw dolphins at Stop1 and saw turtle at Stop 2. Don't miss This!
