Ocean Joy Cruises

Private Sunset Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Cruise with Dinner and Cocktails

Because the boat is reserved entirely for your group, the experience can be shaped around what your group wants to do, whether that means snorkeling or simply relaxing on the water as the sun goes down. Snorkel gear is provided, and basic swimming ability is needed to participate in the water portion. A Hawaiian buffet is served on board, including teriyaki chicken, kalua pork, fresh taro buns, garden green salad with house En Fuego dressing, steamed rice, fresh pineapple, and Hawaiian poi bread pudding for dessert. Each guest receives a set number of alcoholic drinks, with choices that include domestic and Hawaiian beers, wine, mai-tais, and margaritas, plus unlimited non-alcoholic beverages throughout the trip. Menu and beverage upgrades are available, as is a professional photographer add-on and roundtrip transportation from Waikiki or Ko Olina properties. Bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, and a camera. The tour is weather dependent, so conditions on the day can affect what takes place.

A captain guides the group to spots around the island, and snorkel gear is provided for anyone who wants to get in the water. Basic swimming ability is needed for snorkeling, though guests can simply stay aboard if they prefer. Beverages are part of the package, including alcoholic options such as domestic and Hawaiian beers, wine, mai-tais, and margaritas on the rocks, along with unlimited non-alcoholic drinks. The charter suits couples, families, and friend groups looking for a private, flexible outing rather than a shared tour. A professional photographer upgrade is available if you want photos from above and below the water. Roundtrip transportation from Waikiki or Ko Olina properties can also be arranged for an added fee.
