Head to the country side of Oahu's West coast where years of minimal development helped to bolster and maintain a flourishing abundance of marine life, coral reefs, and clear water. We visit areas frequented by pods of dolphins and turtles and many other sea life. Humpback whales migrate here annually from Alaska during our winter months of November and April putting on a show for our guests. Snorkel in the warm, crystal clear blue waters that you've seen in movies then enjoy a prepackaged Hawaiian meal on us.

Great crew, boat, and food. So professional and organized. We saw whales and dolphins and turtles!! But the snorkeling was a little lackluster that day- might be the area.
Also accommodated our gluten free, vegetarian, and picky eaters!

Such a great crew to guide a great experience for the family! We lived here years ago, and when it came time to take our daughter on a vacation to Hawaii and out for some snorkeling, we knew exactly who we wanted to provide that experience for her. The boats great for any weather, food has gotten even better, but the crew makes this trip the absolute best! They love what they do in providing an amazing experience for everyone. Whether you want to snorkel, see whales, dolphins, or turtles or even just enjoy a nap in one of the most beautiful settings this world has to offer this is the trip you need to take!
Our daughter was having a hard time snorkeling, so they brought a starfish up for her to hold and took great pictures! Then took her back to the boat to warm up so my wife and I could enjoy some child free snorkeling for a few minutes.
You want a perfect day and experience, than this is who to trust!

Wow. What can I say! From the moment I showed up to the moment I felt I felt like family and well taken care of. I went solo and literally had my initial photo taken as a selfie with the deck crew. Felt rad. We hopped on board for a quick safety briefing and were met with ice cold pop while we headed out to an hour of sightseeing for wildlife. Once we spotted spinner dolphins we observed for a bit and then went on to snorkel for an hour. I had no idea when booking there were drinks and lunch included! (The value on this trip is INSANE) After snorkeling we boarded to a beautiful hot lunch and full bar. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting a safe, clean and adventurous afternoon.

The crew were very friendly and helpful, and made the trip a nice time. We saw dolphins and a sea turtle, and the boat was nice with great food and drinks. The snorkeling wasn’t the best and a little disappointing, only a few different types of fish and not a huge reef to explore—this was the only downside. Also, just note that the dock is about an hour drive away from Waikiki.

Had an outstanding day on the water with Ocean Joy today!
The snorkling was wonderful, and we got some very up-close views of dolphins as a curious pod checked out our boat for quite a while.
More than that, the crew was super friendly and fun, and the onboard lunch & drinks were great.

I loved this tour so much. First off, the boat is beautiful and the floor is a brand new soft/grippy floor that feels great and easy to walk on. The food... so good, I think alot of times when you do a boat tour you assume it will be a simple meal with a sandwich or chips, not so with Ocean Joy! It was great tasting and filling hot lunch. They also had a cooler full of soda/juice/water for the whole trip and bar where you could order alcohol as well! The views on the west side were beautiful and distinct from the rest of the island, jumping in the ocean with the snorkel gear was great, I noticed the water clarity was incredible! We saw some turtles and all kinds of fish! Long story short we loved our tour and it was very relaxing!

I did the morning calm tour on Thanksgiving. It was an amazing experience. The crew was entertaining and knowledgeable which made the adventure even better. We had a whole pod of dolphins swimming around us and they remained with us even when we began snorkeling. The meal they served us was a total surprise. Yes, it was Thanksgiving, but I did not expect a delicious turkey meal. To top everything off, our photographer was excellent and the package is only $40. Every penny spent on this cruise was more than worth it.
