Overview
Oahu: Snorkeling Cruise and Dolphin Watch With Hawaiian Buffet takes people to the west side of Oahu on a comfy boat. It's a special trip because this side of the island hasn't changed much. The ocean is full of life with colorful reefs and clear water. People can see dolphins, turtles, and other sea creatures. From November to April, big Humpback whales come from Alaska to show off for everyone.
The cruise heads up Oahu's west coast where the boat looks for dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. The crew knows a lot about the ocean and can answer questions about the animals. Later, the boat stops at a great spot for snorkeling. People can swim and see colorful fish and coral. The guides help point out the different kinds of fish.
After snorkeling, people can wash off and enjoy a yummy Hawaiian buffet with chicken, pork, salad, rice, and fruit. Drinks are also served. The captain tells stories about the Waianae Coast during the trip. A photographer takes pictures that people can buy later. Ocean Joy Cruises is known for its great service and amazing ocean adventures.
