    Ocean Joy Cruises stands out as a top-rated experience on Oahu, with travelers consistently praising the friendly, attentive crew who clearly know how to make guests feel welcome and safe. The boat is clean and well-maintained, with quality snorkeling gear that guests appreciate. Families particularly love how accommodating the staff is with kids, and many reviewers mention crew members like Adam by name, which speaks to the personal touch they bring to every trip. The food gets consistent thumbs up, especially the teriyaki chicken, and there are plenty of drinks to keep everyone hydrated. Wildlife sightings are a major highlight, with most cruises spotting dolphins, sea turtles, and colorful fish around the coral reefs. One guest noted they didn't see dolphins on their trip, though they still enjoyed the snorkeling and overall experience. The onboard photography service is another bonus, capturing family memories at reasonable prices. Multiple honeymooners and families call this their favorite activity on Oahu, making it a solid choice for anyone looking for a memorable day on the water.

    This is our 2nd time booking with Ocean Joy and our snorkeling cruise was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The entire crew made the experience unforgettable from the captain, Thorner to the photographer. The entire boat crew was friendly and professional. They greeted us with warm smiles, explained everything clearly, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, even the first-time snorkelers. The snorkeling spot was breathtaking with so many colorful fish. The photographer even pointed out sea turtles and dolphins. After snorkeling, we enjoyed a delicious local meal and refreshments. If you’re thinking about booking an ocean snorkeling cruise, this is the one to choose!
