We LOVED this day! Dan & his wife were great! They took very good care of us, even making sure that those of us with cameras got a chance to take pictures of the beautiful fish (and the 2 sea turtles we saw). They provided us with cold water and snacks after our swim, which were much appreciated. I love that Dan took many pictures of us all with his camera, and posted them to Facebook for us to see &/or download later. My husband and I are both over 60, and I think they were a little concerned whether we could handle the swimming. But they stayed nearby and checked often whether we were OK (we were!) Most of our group was Japanese, with My husband & I the only "anglos". Dan was amazing at switching from Japanese to English and back, making sure that none of us felt left out of the conversation. We would definitely recommend this activity for anyone!

The promissed was to swim with Dolphins but not guaranteed. I Know but it is almost impossible considering open sea and the reasonable visibility.

Had a great time very few folks on the trip. Crew was great they knew where to go to get on the turtles. Chris was busy looking for other things to show us so got to see a lot more than just the turtles. Nice thing about the morning trip is that we got there before a lot of other folks so there were plenty of turtles on the reef.

My wife and I had such a great time on this little cruise out to the Molokini crater. The crew onboard the Pride of Maui was outstanding and I was very impressed with their professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication to making all of the guests feel very welcome and comfortable with the activities on the slate. At no time did they ever shortcut the safety and well-being of anyone on the tour. I have snorkeled in a few other ideal locations around the world and this one definitely tops the list. The aquatic arena at the Molokini crater and at turtle town was amazing and we really enjoyed our experience. Many thanks to the crew and the terrific job they did.

This trip is a morning trip to Molokini and then Turtle town close to west Maui. The price is quite reasonable since it includes Cruise, continental breakfast, burger lunch, drinks with alcohol or non-alcohol, and snorkeling gears. It has snorkeling noodles and boards for those who are not good at swimming. They also have lifeguard, so pretty safe for this trip. The total snorkeling time is two hours: one hour for Molokini, and one hour for Turtle town.
Molokini is wonderful, many colorful fishes and coral reefs there. It’s the crater of a hidden volcano, of course extinct volcano.
The next stop is Turtle town, which locates close to west Maui. It’s hundreds meters off the shore. We see several turtles under the water. We followed a turtle and enjoyed swimming with it.
By the way, the scene from the cruise is fantastic. We have a broad overlook of Maui island and the valley in west Maui.

We have been on similar tours before so had some idea of what to expect. The boat was a little tricky to find (to the left of the main harbor entrance).
The crew were excellent, very professional, friendly and organised. They had a lifeguard in the water for the snorkeling, which makes this a great choice for families.
The snorkeling spots were very busy but we saw lots of great fish at Molokini, and we saw 4 turtles at turtle town.
The food was very simple, but they have a lot of people to feed so it needs to be.

海外の、しかも他のツアーに比べて口コミも少なかったところだったので正直不安でした。ホテルの1階で待機してピックアップしてもらう形でしたので、本当に来るのかなぁ…と。
ですが、ほぼ定刻通りに迎えに来てくれて、尚且つ最初から気さくに話してくれ、外国人観光客と一緒の3組だったのですがちゃんと全員にバランスよく話し掛けてくれる気の遣える素晴らしい方です。
貴重品が預けられるという口コミを見ましたが、てっきり車の中に保管するのかと思っていたら砂浜に鍵の掛かる箱に保管をしました。
あとは、事前に水着を着用しとくように指示があったので最初から水着だけで参加したのですが、ずっと水に入っていると寒くなるので、やはり着替えは必要ですね。
若干案内不足なところは否めませんが、旦那さんのダンさんと奥様のチエさん共に非常に良い人で、安心して楽しめるツアーですのでオススメだと思います。
天気が悪いとか、海ガメにあえなかったとか言ってもそれは自然が相手なのですから当然のことだと思います。

My fiancé and I booked this during our 6 day stay in Oahu. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Jacob picked us up promptly from our hotel in Waikiki right on time and took us to the boat. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive right from the start and the entire way through. They instructed us on the ins and outs of snorkeling and made sure we were comfortable. We snorkeled and saw all the fish and sea turtles our hearts desired within a few feet. It was amazing! Barry hung out in the water with us the entire time indicating different sights and making sure all was safe. After a while we climbed aboard and David had prepared a delicious lunch of Mahi Mahi and chicken wraps, as well as macaroni salad and chips. The drinks were superb as well. After lunch, we set sail for the rest of the trip, viewing Waikiki and Diamond head as well as the rest of the island. The guys offered much advice on local eateries and activities, and answered any questions that we had with genuine interest. It isn't often that I post reviews, but these guys truly made our day, if not our trip. I've never felt so comfortable and impressed by any charter group before. BOOK THIS NOW! You honestly will not regret it. We are thinking about booking another trip with these guys before we leave.

We came here on our honeymoon and we had an awesome experience with Ocean Joy Cruises. We scheduled for the shuttle service and the bus was right on time to pick us up from our hotel. There was a little traffic to Ko-Olina but wasn't too bad. The bus driver kindly guided us through the entire ride and it was comfortable. The cruise staff were friendly and generous. They provided everyone with ginger pills to avoid motion sickness. Snorkeling was great too. Too bad that we didn't get to see the turtles but it was fun! The food wasn't fancy or anything but it was delicious and that first sip of an icy cold beer after snorkeling was heavenly. While we were having dinner, we got to see the group of dolphins swimming right next to our cruise which was phenomenal. The sunset, of course, it was breathtaking moment. My husband and I really enjoyed the cruise and we will definitely come back with our family in the future.

first of all, people working on the boat was awesome, they were very very friendly, especially guy name mason was funny and very active and he was there every moment when we needed him
the boat was not too big and luckily we only had less than twenty people so a lot of room normally around forty people on the board. I suggest to take a pill before you go on because it really help you not to through up.
snorkeling was fun experience and they teach you everything you need to know and fun part was when you go into the water they feed the fish so the fish can come to you I'm talking about a lot of fish and it was so amazing and beautiful when can I get to see that many of fish.
after snorkeling it's cold right but this boat has warm water so you can take salt water out in warm water, that was pretty good idea for help from cold and windy weather.
the boat had every drink you could think of like from hot coffee to cold soda to alcohol beverage and people working on the boat took turn to be a bartender and they actually make good tasty drinks but just let you know that alcohol is only served after snorkeling.
I gotta talk and tell you about the food. it's most delicious Hawaiian pork bbq burger and charcoal grilled chicken was so so good and fresh Hawaiian fruits was one of my favorite
during the diner time captain called out to come out and we went out and guess what?!! dolphins were swimming by, not just one couple of Dolphins
it was my first time watching Dolphins swimming around and that was amazing time.
captain was very generous he didn't want us to miss every moment so he was keep looking out and around the ocean if anything it might be interesting for us.
overall this was the best experience for us and I truly and definitely recommend to try, love to go on the board and meet them again.

We took the afternoon dolphin watch cruise that set sail at 1pm. Saw some sea turtles and a dolphin pod from afar. The snorkelling was nothing great...lots of reef fishes and mostly dead coral. Being prone to motion sickness, I was elated at how wonderfully stable the catamaran was, and for once I actually enjoyed sailing instead of spending half my time being sick over the rails. In spite of my disappointment at not seeing dolphins up close, the afternoon turned out to be a really pleasant cruise along the beautiful Ko Olina coastline. The staff were attentive and friendly. My 3 year son threw a fit when I got him out of the choppy waters during the snorkelling session. Kudos to the staff who successfully quietened him down by giving him bread to feed the fishes from the back of the ship. Food was great. Pulled pork sandwiches, chips and fruit salad were delicious. All in all, a lovely afternoon.
Thanks Mary for the great review, and coming out with us! I'm glad you were able to enjoy our tropical waters and the hard coral that we have in Hawaii. Our waters are cooler than what you would experience in the Caribbean, so we don't feature the fanning type of coral- mostly the brain, and other types of more rock looking features. Did you know that 30% of our fish can only be found in Hawaii? Anyway, just thought we would share some fun facts. We love our jobs and glad we were able to share a great day with you. Take care and Aloha! Ko Olina Ocean Adventures

Hi Rolando, we do try our best, but yes sometimes the dolphins are around the corner or just unable to be located. We see them about 90% of the time, but some days are trickier than others. We hope you enjoyed the snorkeling and clear water our islands had to offer anyway. Thank you for coming with us, we hope that you can try again. Many thanks, Ko Olina Ocean Adventures
