Turtles, Dolphins, Octopus, Perfect Snorkeling: Ocean Joy had it all!

Turtles, Dolphins, Octopus, Perfect Snorkeling: Ocean Joy had it all!
We absolutely loved our morning snorkel and sightseeing cruise with Ocean Joy! This was the #1 highlight of our time on O'ahu.The crew was fun, thoughtful, and all-around just a good vibe. We saw a green sea turtle, dolphins, a day octopus, and of course plenty of fish by the reef! The food was delicious, snorkel equipment clean and easy-to-use, and the boat comfortable and accommodating. The warm-water hose off after being in the salt water was a nice plus too. There were maybe just 4 or 5 other couples on board with us, so it never felt crowded.The photographer on board got so many great pics - including of us underwater! We did not hesitate at all to purchase the photo package at the end - they were so cool, and definitely worth the value of now having to worry about your own phone the entire time.We'd originally booked our cruise with a different company -- "Ko Olina Ocean Adventures" -- but then they texted us the afternoon before our tour saying they were cancelling it because they couldn't fulfill "the guest minimum" to make it worth their money... So we quickly pivoted to booking with Ocean Joy Cruises (and even saved about $50!) and are SO happy that we did! We'd choose Ocean Joy over and over again! 5 stars!

Dolphins Galore!
Lots of dolphins! The tour was very small and the boat was quick and nimble, which maximized time with dolphins and minimized time bumping into a bunch of flailing tour-goers clamouring over each other to see dolphins. The captain and the guide were great as well. Would highly recommend.

Staff was great! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Very good traditional Hawaiian food with tasty Mai Tais and other drinks. We saw lots of tropical fish and a turtle while snorkeling, and dozens of spinner dolphins traveling with our boat while we were underway.

Absolutely fantastic tour!!!! ❤️
Absolutely wonderful start to finish! Early morning 7:30am start had calm waters and great visibility the day we went in August! The crew was welcoming and helpful to make the experience perfect! We got to swim with so many dolphins I couldn’t believe it, snorkeled with lots of fish and turtles, with option for waterside from the boat while I opted to continue snorkeling. Lunch provided on the way back was filling and easy to eat as we cruised back to the harbor. We even spotted dolphins on the way back and Stef was awesome enough to stop so we could watch them jump out of the water so high as we all cheered! The whole trip was very relaxed with plenty of space on the boat to move around and see everything that was happening. We saw what felt like hundreds of dolphins from the boat very close and in the water to enjoy them playing and swimming together as we observed them from a safe distance. I felt safe and had a blast on this tour. I will definitely book again and bring friends next time they visit Oahu. Our boat was operated by Stef, Koa, Ryan, Yuji, Keona, and Jess! Highly Recommend!!! 🤩

Family-friendly tour
It was a very fun tour because I saw many dolphins!The crew members were bright and lively, and the captain was very friendly. To see as many dolphins as possible, they searched for the best spots and moved around many times, and they even had two opportunities to see dolphins in the sea.Minako, the Japanese guide, was very considerate and frequently checked in with my 8-year-old son, which made me feel at ease participating. We saw sea turtles while snorkeling in the shallow waters, and the boat even had a slide from the second deck, so my son had a lot of fun.The boat was new and clean, and it was a tour I felt good about participating in with my family!
