Had a fantastic experience on the morning snorkel tour, which we booked last minute. Great ride to a secluded snorkel area stopping along the way to see some spinner dolphins. The reef water was crystal clear and the body glove staff provided all equipment and tuition should it be required. Breakfast was provided on the way to the reef and... More

I would definitely recommend this cruise! The food, hospitality, music, and entire experience for myself and my entire family will be a memorable one of our time in Hawaii. Thanks Mike for your Tim Tebow story and for making my family feel so welcome! You have a great crew and we truly enjoyed ourselves!

We took the sunset dinner cruise. You get one free alcoholic beverage per person and the food is included. The appetizers were fruit, crackers and rolls. The dinner was rice, chicken wings, beef kabobs, salad, and a Hawaiian speciality pork thing. They served cake for dessert. I really was expecting a more exciting tour; basically you're just putting along whilst... More

We had an AMAZING time on the Body Glove boat out of Kona. Coming off the cruise ship with my wife and 10 year old boy we were warmly greeted by the staff and led to a wonderful breakfast - fruit, pastries, Kona coffee (!!). The boat was great and quickly took us to a reef about 45 minutes away.... More

The dinner cruise was worth the price. The historian was knowledgeable and interesting, the musician entertaining, the food delicious, and the cocktails just the right mix. The dolphins playing at the bow and the romantic sunset made it all just perfect. And thanks to the crew for all the extra special attention. Highly recommend this excursion.

We did the Historical Dinner Cruise and it was just ok. It was nice to get out on the water, but the crew was more interested in showing off than being helpful. The boat was crowded and the dinner was also just ok. The only thing that helped was seeing the dolphins and hearing some of the history. I would... More

This cruise is a must, not only for the historical information, but for the good food and the sights. Upon arrival to the boat you are greeted by the crew, and then find your own seats.

Four of us took the Body Glove Sunset Dinner Cruise and we loved it. The crew was so nice and helpful. We were able to enjoy a Grammy award winning Hawaiian guitar player/singer that was excellent.
