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.

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.
