Top Honolulu Dinner Cruises

Great evening. Crew was well organized boarded and disembarking the ship. The food was excellent. Large lobster with both claws and a fillet steak were delicious. Luau show was very nice. And since it was Friday we got the fireworks show. Great evening. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience! Patrick and his crew were great. Worth every penny! Mahalo!

We absolutely loved our morning snorkel and sightseeing cruise with Ocean Joy! This was the #1 highlight of our time on O'ahu.The crew was fun, thoughtful, and all-around just a good vibe. We saw a green sea turtle, dolphins, a day octopus, and of course plenty of fish by the reef! The food was delicious, snorkel equipment clean and easy-to-use, and the boat comfortable and accommodating. The warm-water hose off after being in the salt water was a nice plus too. There were maybe just 4 or 5 other couples on board with us, so it never felt crowded.The photographer on board got so many great pics - including of us underwater! We did not hesitate at all to purchase the photo package at the end - they were so cool, and definitely worth the value of now having to worry about your own phone the entire time.We'd originally booked our cruise with a different company -- "Ko Olina Ocean Adventures" -- but then they texted us the afternoon before our tour saying they were cancelling it because they couldn't fulfill "the guest minimum" to make it worth their money... So we quickly pivoted to booking with Ocean Joy Cruises (and even saved about $50!) and are SO happy that we did! We'd choose Ocean Joy over and over again! 5 stars!

Wow , this excursion exceeded my expectations. By way of performances, delicious food, and top tier customer service. Only points I would deduct would be the overall age of the ship, it seemed a bit rundown/old, but very clean; however, that would not stop me from going again. Honorable mention would be the photographers. They took a picture at our table, but when asked to take a picture of the sunset with my family, she accommodated us when she didn’t have to. She caught a absolutely stunning, beautiful moment.

The food was delicious, and the show was fun too! Captain Stefan guided me to the best timing and best photo spots, and took amazing pictures! Thank you for the wonderful honeymoon! Thanks to Stefan! I'll come again!

I was looking forward to the dinner cruise, but it was more fun than I imagined!The steak was very delicious, and I was very satisfied with the meal. The show was so powerful, and I really enjoyed watching it ✨The captain was funny too, and the atmosphere on the ship was bright and enjoyable! Thank you for taking pictures; it made for wonderful memories 📸I was glad I could enjoy the Hawaiian night while enjoying delicious food and shows! I'm glad I participated ☺️

We loved our time sailing with this crew! Everyone was sweet and attentive. We got to see dolphins, Manni found us an octopus to hold, and it was overall a great time.

I booked this tour because my husband lives the dolphins and the last time we were in Honolulu we went to an aquarium and swam with them in a controlled environment, this was a completely different experience. I read that it was on a nice boat - inside and outside sitting , snorkeling , good food and an open bar !! My husband and I are extroverts with people we know but are very private in public settings. I saw this because this entire crew made us feel comfortable front start to finish. Every crew member from the snorkel crew, photographer and shipmates and captain were all dedicated to make sure we are all super comfortable and have what we need and want. The 3 1/2 hour tour was good timing and movement. The pros: absolutely worth the money. It’s like having a private boat with a full crew and some new shipmates- just the right amount of other people - many are couples or families - very comfortable. I don’t know where that meal came from - but it was delicious and on time - especially that salad dressing - I wanted to snag the bottle ;) - I like when everyone works together to make things run smoothly - awesome crew. The only Con (and this is 100% my problem) is that we had to meet at 7:30am , meaning I had to be up by 6am in Vacation - but no worries - they have different departures times- we chose the 8am (7:30 check- in) because we were leaving the following day and wanted to enjoy the entire day. If you’re having any doubts - don’t. I tend to be associated with having high standards and would probably be more comfortable in a private yacht - I can tell you- they are right up there. Their attention to detail and their detail to customer service - with everyone working together makes this better !!! I give it 5 stars ⭐️ !! My only regret was not taking more pictures together - a they have an option for you to have access to all the pictures- although We only took a few of us in particular - it was worth it because it was a great deal. Other highlights - a they have 2 very clean bathrooms - I know - sounds like a small detail - but a very important one. To me, the price was reasonable for the service, in fact I would have paid more. Saying this - make sure to TIP your crew - after this adventure we went to the local supermarket to get water and some snacks and WOW I though prices in Los Angeles are crazy - Hawaii’s everyday costs of living are CRAZY - so til these super hard working guys ! BTW- I’m not a robot or paid/compensated review - I don’t have any social media at all - but when I was looking at the pictures and I saw a section for a review - Absolutely!!! I think this is so worth it and amazing - remember - the more you participate- the funner it will be ! I got more comfortable towards the middle - enjoy yourself

The dinner cruise was fantastic. We purchased the package with transportation and everything was extremely organized. We were picked up from our hotel, a staff member was actively looking for customers and checking everyone in, and the driver, Ayden, was very friendly and professional. Once we arrived at the pier, we were directed to the cruise ship, shown where to go, were greeted at every section of the ship, then escorted to our table. Everything from pick up to table seating was organized and efficient. This made the start of the cruise welcoming and we knew it was going to be great.There was plenty of food. Our salad was already at our table. The charcuterie board for light appetizers was already laid out for the guests. We were offered non alcoholic champagne and had been given 4 drink tickets for our beverages during dinner. The 5 course dinner was very good. The lobster was excellent and all other dishes were very good.The entertainment was excellent. There was jazz music and plenty of modern songs to appeal to all ages. The Hawaiian dancers were very good and got the audience involved at the end. The gentleman on the saxophone was outstanding. Overall, 10/10.Service was excellent from all staff members. Shout out to Desmond, our server. He had plenty of tables to serve but was professional, friendly, and efficient throughout the night.I highly recommend this cruise. You won’t be disappointed. Mahalo to the business for organizing such a great event.

Loved the care they took with all the parties at the boat. Snorkeling, seeing lots of dolphins and sea turtle with their turtle cave was just wonderful. Food and staff was wonderful. Very good experience.

My wife and I had a great time on our snorkeling experience. The guys and gals on the boat were very professional and made sure were well taken care of.

The crew was amazing. I especially enjoyed having the photographer available to provide professional photos at a reasonable price. The hot meal was delicious. We saw tons of beautiful fish and turtles. Highly recommend this excursion!

Transport from Wakiki was easy and our driver was very friendly and shared lots of interesting information on the drive.There were less than 20 of us on the cruise that day so there was plenty of room for everyone.The crew on the boat were friendly and attentive and checked in frequently to see if we needed anything. At one point I was given a pool noodle without asking to use as a pillow to make lying down on the deck more comfortable!We managed to see a pod of dolphins as well as a few turtles up close. My husband and I had never seen turtles in the wild before so this was very exciting!The snorkeling was a bit harder than expected due to a strong current but the crew did what they could to make this easier for us.I enjoyed the buffet lunch, there were a couple of meat options and a couple of a sides. There were a few people on our boat who had dietary restrictions and they were given their own boxed meals.

I booked it through a travel agency and used the couple's plan. On the last day of our honeymoon, we participated in dinner and enjoyed the sunset. The sunset and dinner were wonderful, but above all, the hospitality of the crew and the onboard shows became the best memories. You can enjoy live music even while eating. The dance shows, including hula, were so much fun that the entire staff entertained the passengers and made us want to dance along. Captain Stefan is a very cheerful and fun person, and he helped us take commemorative photos in a beautiful scenery. It's such great entertainment, so I highly recommend it when visiting Honolulu.

I boarded to celebrate my honeymoon and my wife's birthday! The food and shows were very satisfying. Captain Stephen guided us and took pictures, and it was a very fun dinner cruise!

Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Stefan🥹✨Sam's guide was wonderful too✨It was the best honeymoon❤️I love Hawaii! I'll come again someday ☺️
