The Body Glove snorkel cruise provides the perfect way to enjoy the spectacular coastal views -- from the water! I went out on their new higher speed boat, and she flies! The ride was really smooth, providing relief for anyone with seasickness. I loved the wind in my hair; it was like a little mini blow-dry between snorkel stops, haha! It felt great on this warm day.
We stopped at a fish-attracting buoy about 3 miles off the coast first, where the water was 1 mile deep. I conquered my big fear of deep water and jumped in even though we couldn't see the bottom. It really did feel like we were in outer space! That was just a bonus stop. Then we went to 2-step which had phenomenal snorkeling, and then Red Hill area. It was really fun to have multiple places to explore in the water. Sitting on the side of the boat to enjoy the sunshine after each snorkel stop was so lovely. Lunch was great, and the staff could not have been any more kind and friendly. They had a great selection of craft soft drinks, water and coconut water that they offered us all day. The staff was knowledgeable about the area, telling us about the history of different places along the coast. They were very kind about helping with any rubbish to throw away, helping everyone in and out of the water, making sure everyone was safe while snorkeling, and even rinsing each of us off with fresh water if we wanted after each snorkel.
I highly recommend the Body Glove snorkel trip for an unforgettable adventure and enjoyable boat ride along the beautiful Kona coast. It felt like we were out there all day, but still got back in time to have another activity planned or do some relaxing in the afternoon.
