Ocean Joy Cruises

SNORKEL, DOLPHINS & WHALES

Where Dolphins Play

See Hawai'i as did the ancient Hawaiians and Captain Cook. Ocean Joy Cruises will take you to the unspoiled Makaha coastline where dolphins, turtles and other Hawaiian sea life play and flourish.

The Kai 'Oli'Oli is a 49 Passenger, 61 foot Power Catamaran touring yacht, custom built for these cruises at a cost of over $1,000,000. It is the safest, newest, fastest, smoothest riding and most comfortable touring and snorkeling yacht, with large bathroom/change rooms, comfortable dry cabin, four outdoor warm water showers, giant swim steps, and a modern audio and video system. It is totally enclosed by strong railings, and has the highest U.S. Coast Guard safety rating given to any tour boat in Hawaii.

We cruise about 40 miles* round trip up the Wai'anae coast of O'ahu, which affords exciting sight-seeing, dolphin watching (all year) and whale watching (Dec-Apr) along the west coast of O'ahu, all narrated in both japanese and English on our extensive PA system. One hour of snorkeling at a site of the Captain's choosing is included with high quality snorkel gear and flotation vest, and instructional guidance for beginners. *The Oct 1 - Mar 31 Sunset Combo is one hour shorter and typically travels 20 miles.

All cruises include a sumptuous hot buffet meal, and unlimited bottled water, juices and soft drinks, and up to 4 alcoholic beverages*. The meal consists of Hawaiian style teriyaki chicken, Kalua pig (pulled pork), delicious Hawaiian-style potato-macaroni salad, white rice, and chopped assorted fresh fruit, such as cantaloupe, honey dew melon, and watermelon. Fresh buns, lettuce and tomato are provided to make sandwiches, if desired. *Alcoholic beverages include Maitais, Margaritas, beer and wine. Vegetarian meals are available by requesting them at least one day ahead of cruise departure time.

High-quality souvenirs, such as hats, caps, various types men's and women's shirts, towels and underwater cameras are available for purchase at nominal prices on all cruises. A professional photographer will produce a DVD with 100-plus high quality photos of each cruise, as well as pre-recorded action video, purchasable at the end of the cruise.

Dolphin sighting guarantee: On the Morning Calm and Afternoon Adventure cruises, if you do not see Dolphins and/or Whales, you may return for another cruise, subject to space availability. A $25 meal fee, and, if needed, a transportation fee of $25 applies. All phases of each cruise, including snorkeling, are at the Captain's discretion.
