Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year for paddling Kailua Bay?

Kailua Bay enjoys the famously beautiful weather of Hawaii year round. Winter temperatures average in the high 70′s and summer is in the mid to upper 80′s.
Make your plans flexible – when planning for a day of paddling allow for changes due to weather and ocean conditions.
Plan to do your kayaking soon after you arrive, then if the weather is bad, we can re-schedule so that you can go kayaking when the weather is better.

Book Waikiki and Hawaii Tours &  Activities Online

Why paddle in Kailua Bay?

Kailua Bay may be the best destination for paddlers on Oahu. For the beginner it offers calm reef protected waters and a number of very interesting small near shore islands within easy reach of Kailua Beach. The experienced paddler will enjoy the waves outside the same reef that keeps the water calm near the beach. With beautiful sandy beaches, calm clear water, and multiple hiking options, these small islands make a great place to spend the day picnicking and exploring. And then there’s the wildlife…Green Sea Turtles abound and are easily approached. Summer is the nesting season for a number of rare sea birds that use these islands to raise their young. Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and the the very rare Hawaiian Monk Seal are known to come into the bay on occasion. In winter there’s also a chance you’ll see humpback whales just off shore.

What is included in our packages?

Guided Tour – includes a kayak, life jacket, and paddle, picnic lunch, and a guide that will teach you paddling technique, guide you safely to off-shore islands, and tell you about the birds, marine life and histor of Hawaii. Also included in this package is snorkeling gear, a dry bag, and padded backrest for your kayak. Hotel transportation is also included in this package.

Adventure Package – includes a kayak, life jacket, and paddle, picnic lunch and hotel transportation from Waikiki. This is a self-guided package, so you get to explore on your own with the help of our map, orientation, and safety briefing! If you would like additional equipment, such as a dry bag, snorkeling gear, or a comfortable back-rest, we have it available for a small extra charge.

Turtle Safari – includes mask, fins and snorkel, boogie board, picnic lunch and hotel transportation from Waikiki. Kayak rental is not included in this package.

Book Waikiki and Hawaii Tours &  Activities Online

Should we go on a Guided Tour or take a Self-Guided Adventure Package?

If you are of average physical ability and enjoy exploring the outdoors on your own, you’ll have a great time on our Adventure Package. However, going on the Guided Tour can make the trip safer, more informative, and help you get the most out of your day. Our guides can take you places you may not find on your own and show you things you might have missed otherwise.

If kayaking is not for you but you want to spend some time on World Class Kailua Beach doing some snorkeling, body boarding,and playing in our warm waters, then the Turtle Safari would be right for you.

What should we wear?

Comfortable swimwear and shoes or sandals good for walking on rocks. Be prepared for a little exercise and to get wet.

What should we bring?

Sunscreen, underwater camera, hat, sunglasses, and a eyeglass retainer strap if you wear glasses/sunglasses (all of these are available at our shop if you don’t alreay have them). A Credit Card is required as a security deposit for the kayaks and other gear. Waterproof bags to keep your stuff dry are available to rent at $3.00 a day.

When will we be back at the end of the day?

You will be picked up at the launch point at 3:00PM. This will get you back to your hotel at approximately 3:45PM.


Book Waikiki and Hawaii Tours &  Activities Online

What will be the highlight of the day?

Seeing turtles is always a highlight. Many of our clients have said the guided hike around the offshore islands was the highlight of their visit to Hawaii and one of the most interesting hikes they’ve ever been on, EVER!

Dolphin Cruise And Snokeling at Ko Olina, Kai Oli Oli


Come join the fun! Ocean Joy Cruises will take you to the unspoiled Waianae coastline on the island of Oahu where dolphins, turtles and other Hawaiian sea life play and flourish. Take a dive into one of Hawaii’s most secluded snorkeling spots, watch dolphins as they glide through the cool waters of the Pacific, view the most stunning scenic vistas and perhaps, even watch the most romantic sunset on earth.

Hop aboard the Kai ‘Oli’Oli Oahu’s only marine vessel designed exclusively for the best ocean activity experience.

A cruise isn’t just about where you’re going snorkeling or how many dolphins you see. It’s also about the boat you’re on, and it doesn’t get any better than being on the Kai ‘Oli’Oli – one of the best tour vessels in operation today. With state-of-the-art equipment, you’ll most likely find yourself snorkeling with the most colorful marine life you’ll ever see.

Dolphin Watching, Sightseeing and Snorkeling Cruise

Our cruise adventure is the only experience that will take you up the entire Waianae coast (west coast of Oahu), from Ko ‘Olina Marina to the northernmost tip of the coast, the sacred Ka’ena Point.

Learn about the magical history of our islands and the Waianae coastline as our crew enchants you with legends and history of this beautiful land.

Get your video and still cameras ready, because we’ll see with Dolphins (Nai’a), Whales (Kohola) [in season], Green Sea Turtles (Honu), and Flying Fish (Malolo) along the way! When we do meet up with the dolphins and whales, we’ll stop the boat, and sit with them as our knowledgeable crew will tell you everything you want to know about these amazing and beautiful creatures.

After an exciting ride up the coast, we’ll enjoy an hour of snorkeling just off the Ka‘ena Cliffs, past the end of the road, where the only access is by boat or hiking. We provide the best of snorkeling equipment for you to enjoy as you swim in the sparkling blue water of Makua amongst unspoiled reef and sea life where no other tours take you.

While still tingling from your snorkeling and dolphin watching experience, enjoy our sumptuous lunch buffet, and sip on a tropical Mai Tai, an ice-cold beer or any of our other beverages to your heart’s content. Let the cool Hawaiian breeze relax your soul as we make our way back down the coast to our luxurious Ko ‘Olina Marina home.

Kandoo Island will have a half day pass that will allow you to do multipul activitities in a four (4) hour period for $150. (jetsking, parasailing, snuba, Bob helmet diving, and more)

or You can just play on the Kandoo Island, snorkle, swim, lounge around, for $20 transportation included. The Kandoo Island will also have Food and Drinks for your enjoyment. Our familiarization trip (fam) was a blast, they had a friendly staff, getting use to the new operation, let all new ventures, but the potential is huge. A definate must do when in Hawaii.
