Excellent trip to take for the afternoon - First class all the way. Crew was excellent, ship was excellent, and the location was perfect. Couldn’t ask for a better trip.

The Crew is Great! - Our second time out with Body Glove. Both times have been great. First time was last year with nephews and nieces. The crew was great with the kids.
This time was with elderly parents. Dad jumped off the side but inhaled a bunch of water. The crew helped get back on board and made sure he was okay.
Good snorkeling. Great lunch.

Body Glove Snorkeling: fun for the entire family - From the time we boarded the vessel to the moment we stepped foot back on the pier the captain and crew made the day special for all. The weather was perfect and the cruising was smooth all the way to what felt like a secluded snorkeling point exclusive to our group.
Brunch and lunch were simple yet sweet with nothing too heavy. The on board bar was nice with plenty of delicious cocktails with great prices. The crew also acted as servers and were very present and attentive.
Body glove provided plenty of ways to have fun in the water. Snorkels, fins, paddle boards, a bridge of rafts that led to a giant floating island to relax on, special boards for the little kids to float on with windows to allow them to sea the reef and fish beneath them.
The only downside was that the fun eventually had to end.
Also, having nothing to do with the services provided, but people suck. We had a family that seemed to ignore all the rules and just didn’t seem to care. From dropping oars into the reef and mentioning nothing about it to leaving pool noodles to drift away only to lie about them using it when the crew asked them to retrieve the noodle they were planning on leaving behind.

Best Staff by Far!! - The staff at Body Glove are fun to be around and create a positive and safe atmosphere for everyone to enjoy themselves!! We are repeat customers and find the crews out of Kona to be the best. Our visits to other island cruises have been not near as enjoyable. We look forward to more cruises each time we visit Kona!!! (sadly we didn’t write down everyone’s name on shift, but we enjoyed our trip Monday 11/25 and thought EVERY single staff member was amazing!!!)

Fun day! - This trip was first class from beginning to end. The staff were enthusiastic and attentive. There was ample time to snorkel and enjoy the beautiful water. We saw all kinds of fish and even caught a glimpse of a school of dolphins. I would do this tour again and again!

Great experience and worth the $$ - Staff were (and always are) very friendly and accommodating especially with my gluten free bun request.
We have sailed many times with Body Glove Kona and never had a bad experience.
Almost always see dolphins and flying fish.

Highly recommended - There were many snorkeling companies, but I never regret choosing this.The staff were super kind and the breakfast and lunch they provided were so delicious with fresh ingredients. On the way to the snorkeling spot, we could see a group of dolphins. Besides snorkeling, they provided various swimming equipment for children to enjoy. It was a very satisfying experience and I want to do it again!!

Wonderful time - Our group went on this amazing trip. The group consisted of my parents, nephew (22), daughter (12) and my husband, the entire group loved this boat ride. I was even told this was the best part of our Hawaiian vacation. Lunch was good, drinks were good and the ocean was wonderful. Highly encourage all to do this trip.

Amazing excursion for all ages and abilities - This was one of our most memorable and enjoyable experience. From beginning to end, amazing service, instructions and overall good time. Got to see dolphins twice and, the captain slowed down to make sure we had a good look and even interacted with the dolphins. Children were screaming in joy. Even with our time in the water where we had a difficult time getting around because of the strong current. They had over 6 lifeguards helping everyone. Amazing swimmers and personalities. Made us feel great and made sure we had a good time. Would strongly recommend this excursion. For people of all ages and abilities. We loved it and would do it again.

Horrible - Worse excursion yet I took our kids and expected to see Dolphins didn't see any until we got off the boat at the pier could have saved almost lk to top that off when one of our children got sick the male crew member decided to look with discuss and shame her instead of being helpful. Once we got to the ocean where you see the fish there were none do your self a favor and go to the private beach club you will see more there. They didn't have fins like they said let alone a boggle board for my little one to go into the water. It was a s.... Show. I would recommend going to find a different company or do something else entirely.
