Wildlife cruises and snorkelling on Oahu's West Coast from Ko Olina aboard a high-tech power catamaran, operating since 2003.
Ocean Joy Cruises is a marine tour company founded in 2003 in Ko Olina, offering excursions along the West Coast of Oahu, Hawaii. With over 23 years of operation, the company sails from Ko Olina Marina toward West Oahu and Electric Beach aboard the Kai ‘Oli’Oli, a state-of-the-art power catamaran built from high-tech fiberglass composite.
Tours include dolphin and turtle watching, complemented by snorkelling sessions in the coral reefs of the Waianae Coast. From November through April, itineraries feature Humpback whale watching during their seasonal migration. Participants are provided with full snorkelling gear, life preservers, warm freshwater showers, and access to two onboard restrooms.
Safety is managed by a CPR-certified captain and crew, starting with a mandatory briefing before departure. The vessel features stainless steel railings that completely enclose the deck for the safety of younger guests and holds the highest possible safety rating for its class from the US Coast Guard.
