Two Great Boats!

We had a really really great time. Loved the crew and the food and the sunset and the drinks .... It was pretty much two whale watching cruises since we got to see whales into the sunset cruise as well. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, definitely a deal.

Saw all in ONE day!

Picked us up from our Hotel in Hilo and the guides were so sweet and awesome and had lots of stories and interesting facts. My son actually stayed up the entire adventure. We whipped through an epic list of natural attractions, took tons of pictures, bought some keepsakes to take home and then poured into our beds when it was all done - day well spent! Recommend to all!

Awesome Time!

We actually went on two sailing trips in Waikiki with two different companies and although both were very good this one was better. The space on the boat was very roomie and the drinks were awesome - we just stuck to the specialty drink, but they offered beer and wine also. The music was one of the best parts - old school - jawaiian - reggae and the vibe was extremely relaxing!!! As the drinks continued to pour our group got real friendly waving and cheering to passing boats ... we were obviously having much more fun. Writing this I miss it and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Bottoms up!

Perfect!

Christine was super cool at the check-in, she was so joyful and fired-up, loved this cruise! On-board crew was amazing and the drinks kept coming and coming. What a night - hahahaha! Yeah, WHAT A NIGHT! If you are in Waikiki you will WANT to take a sail out ... I went on a few and this one - by far - had the biggest drink cups!

Whatt?!?!?! OMG Amazing!

OK, there was a pod of 200 dolphins swimming all around our boat - which was a trip, sunset views were awesome - you won't see a sunset like this one in Waikiki, believe me I went one TWO sailing trips in Waikiki last week, which were great too ... but on this trip we actually saw the sun slip away behind the ocean horizon. The crew was so friendly and chill and accommodating ... no pressure ... no trying to shamelessly sell you stuff, actually, Captain Patrick shared all the free stuff to do along the coast, we saw the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean and the new Disney hotel too. The snorkeling was great! The food was simple and healthy and tasty! Yum! I understand that this is a newer tour so we only had about 18 people on a 49 capacity boat .... so lots of room to stretch out and get some tanning done. Thank you all at the Ocean Joy for such an amazing experience! We will be back the Kai oli oli again!!

First Time Scuba! AWESOME!

The experience was absolutely wonderful!!! Chris greeted us at the center with a huge smile. He was very accommodating, informed and easy to talk to. We were signed up for the Intro Shore Scuba off of Makapu'u. Dan was our transport to the scuba location and I was impressed at his ability to brief us and a Japanese speaking couple completely, during the short ride over. The group coming out of the water as we were going in kept raving about their experience and how much they loved it. Our scuba was just as amazing and a sea turtle approached us!

All of the crew was awesome and I am seriously inspired to get my scuba certification when I get back to NYC.

Loved this luau!!!

This is far from any traditional luau experience where the typical and expected food and Polynesian show has been conceptualized to provide a very unique Hawaiian culinary and entertainment experience. The narrative is centered around history rather than mythology, unusual for a luau. They moved us indoors because they thought it was going to rain. The food was tasty and filling, service was good, show excellent and informative and the ambiance of this pink hotel was magic ... oh and it's open bar too!!!

What an amazing time we had with Kapohokine, who really took care of us! We enjoyed everything from the ride over to the zipping. Thank you for everything!

Dolphin Discoveries

Great Snorkeling out of Kona! Lots of fish, entered a sea cave and saw a pod of dolphins playing on our way to the snorkel spot. Highly recommended, you won't regret it!

A MUST do!

This is GREAT for anyone who wants to swim with dolphins without having to do it in a tank. Guide is excellent and the experience unforgettable. We would highly recommend this to anyone!
