Historical dinner cruise & sunset viewing Interesting history & cultural info during the first 45 minutes or so. We were on the lower deck; it sounded like the historian was on the upper deck so it was hard at times to hear what she was saying (the noise from the boat sloshing thru the water, & the staff serving food also interfered at times). Last half of the cruise was great cruising; the historian was finished, the sunset was great; very relaxing. We took the 4 to 7 pm cruise; they started serving dinner WAY too early at 4.15. Crew & staff very pleasant, helpful, & knowledgeable.

So good I had to go twice! We went on two tours with Body Glove the historical dinner on 10/21 and the snorkel tour on 10/25 and both were amazing! The vibes on the dinner cruise were incredible- the bartender Mayara made the best drinks and crew member Chris has awesome dance moves! The snorkel tour was just as fun! Lunch was great and I loved the relaxation station the crew set up. I loved how attentive the staff was and how they payed attention to our safety. I would definitely recommend taking a tour with Body Glove.

Well worth the money!! This was a well run sunset cruise with an excellent staff and very good food and drinks. The cost was mid-range but the service was above normal. They had a nice wide catamaran which was comfortable and stable. The guide was very informative and entertaining. Well worth the money.

Great Coastline Tour The staff were amazing. The history of the Big Island was very interesting. The food and sights were very good also. My wife and I had a great time. The only downside was that we didn’t see any wildlife.
We highly recommend.
