Snorkeling Oahu: Ko Olina Snorkel Sail & Dolphin Encounter

Snorkeling Oahu: Ko Olina Snorkel Sail & Dolphin Encounter aboard Ocean Joy. Your Ocean Joy adventure is the only experience that will take you from Ko ‘Olina Marina up the entire Waianae Coast to its northern most tip, the sacred Ka‘ena Point.

After an exciting ride up the coast, you'll enjoy an hour of snorkeling just off the Ka‘ena Cliffs, past the end of the road, where the only access is by boat or hiking. You're provided the best of snorkeling equipment for you to enjoy as you swim in the sparkling blue water of Makua among unspoiled reef and sea life where no other tours take you.

Sail the Magical, Unspoiled Waianae Coast
While still tingling from your snorkeling experience, enjoy our sumptuous lunch buffet, and sip on a tropical Mai Ta‘i, a cool beer or any other of our 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.

Along the way, learn about the magical history of our Islands and the Waianae coastline (West Coast of O'ahu) as our crew enchants you with legends and history of this beautiful land.

The Kai ‘Oli‘Oli Catamaran
The Kai ‘Oli‘Oli is Hawai‘i's newest, most state-of-the-art power catamaran in its class! Our exceptional high-speed and long range allow us to take you where no others go.

Get your video and still cameras ready, because we'll see with Dolphins (Nai'a), Whales in season (Kohola), Green Sea Turtles (Honu), and Flying Fish (Malolo) along the way! When we do meet up with the dolphins and whales, we'll stop the boat, and sit with them as our knowledgeable crew will tell you everything you want to know about these amazing and beautiful creatures.

Morning Calm Cruise - 2½ Hours: Typically travels 20 to 30 miles, and is one hour shorter than Deluxe cruises, so there is a bit less time for sightseeing and dolphin/whale watching.

Deluxe Midday Cruise - 3½ Hours: Goes about 40 to 50 miles round trip, and emphasizes going all the way to beautiful Makua Valley, Yokohama Beach and even Ka'ena Point.

Alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, mai tais and margaritas) are included free (up to 4 per person).
