Ocean Joy Cruises Oahu - Morning Calm Cruise Dolphins

Morning Calm Snorkeling Dolphin Cruise: Guaranteed!

Our Morning Calm cruise is the premier experience that takes you up the entire Waianae coast, from Ko Olina Marina to various points along Oahu’s western coastline.

Learn about the magical history of our islands and the Waianae coastline as our crew enchants you with the legends of this beautiful land.

After an exciting cruise up the coast enjoying the beautiful island views and watching the water for dolphins and our seasonal whales, we enjoy an hour of snorkeling in the pristine waters of a prime snorkel destination off Oahu’s western coastline.

Ocean Joy Cruises friendly crew provides the best of snorkeling equipment for you to enjoy as you swim in the sparkling blue waters off of the Waianae Coastline amongst unspoiled reef and sea life!
