What a fantastic day with awesome memories - Fantastic day on the water The three crew members were outstanding, so happy and helpful. The food were amazing, so tender and tasteful. Saw dolphins, snorkeling with reef fish and saw a sea turtle. We both enjoyed our time onboard so much and would highly recommend it. And went home with a great photo package. Will be doing it again next time in Hawaii

Ocean Joy morning cruise - Captain Garrett and his crew did an awesome job finding dolphins, turtles, fish, squid and all sorts of marine life. The trip was one of the best snorkeling trips we have ever been on.

Photography and experience was amazing - So our first excursion got canceled the day before we are suppose to go, and a friend of ours said to check out this company that docks at the same location. With a hope and prayer we were able to book within the hour of finding out about our cancelation. The day came and the whole crew went out of their way to welcome us, on our way to location we were able to see dolphins which they guarantee when you book. Once we got to location we saw so many fish and got to take pictures with the cameraman Adam, it was an absolute dream to see so many fish, a black tip reef shark and my wife’s favorite sea turtles. After an hour or so of snorkeling we were treated to a delicious Hawaiian buffet. And I highly recommend you purchase the picture package the pictures came out perfect and at such an unbeatable price! Usually photos from these excursions aren’t great, but as a photographer my self I was skeptical…but Adam crushed it!! So glad we did it. Next time we’re in oahu we will for sure book this again. Until next time, Mahalo.

A must do activity when in Oahu. - This was a great event. It started off with us sailing out to an area where we were able to see spinner dolphins in their natural habitat, with a number of them swimming by within 4-6 feet from us. We witnessed them doing their signature spin. The view of the coast was breathtaking. After spending some time there we went to another location where we went snorkeling. The crew walk you through safety procedures and provide everything that’s needed. It was a pleasant experience with all the different species of fish around us. Following that we ate a delicious meal. This is an activity my family and I would definitely be repeating when we return to Oahu.

Great family time at Ko Olina - Had a great time cruising with the excellent Captain Pat and his crew. A professional photographer on board captured every moment so we didn't have to worry about juggling our phones. The tour opened with Pat spotting a pod of about 2 dozen dolphins that ended up swimming along the boat for half an hour. Eventually we broke off to go for a snorkel. Loads of fish, sea stars, and a sea turtle. After snorkeling we had a delicious meal and cruised along the coast with cocktails until heading back to the Marina. It was a great time and the crew was super attentive.

Great time and oh so beautiful - Captain Patrick and his crew did a fantastic job. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves. We saw the beautiful Hawaiian terrain; giving us a positively different perspective from the water. We saw Hawaiian Spinner dolphins with babies, turtles, manta ray, absolutely stunning flying fish and beautiful crystal clear blue water. Well worth booking this excursion.

Fantastic Day! - Fantastic day! The water was cloudy, so fish were hard to see; NOT Ocean Joy’s problem (Hurricane Lala is headed our way.) The dolphins and flying fish were wonderful!
