We appreciated the excellent meal, the knowledgeable historian, Boyd, and the friendly staff. It was a big bonus to have free parking available a short walk from the Kailua Pier.

Aloha marajoke, Thank you so much for joining us on the Thanksgiving Dinner Cruise! We love being able to provide a wonderful meal for everyone vacationing during the holidays! Our goal with these Holiday special cruises is to make sure everyone feels at home aboard the Kanoa II. Boyd does an amazing job give a detailed picture of the Kona coast and the crew go above and beyond to provide excellent service to everyone. We would love to know what could have made this a five star experience for you! Feel free to send us a message when you have a chance so we can see how to improve in the future. Hope to see you out with us in the water again soon! Mahalo, Derek Williams @ Body Glove Adventures

We were fortunate to find the Kanoa II dinner cruise out of Kailua Kona Pier on December 3, 2019. Body Glove provided free parking, which is a scarecity within a block of the boarding pier. Konoa II, the boat, is a very comfortable catamaran power boat and the Captain Rick and his entire crew worked tirelessly to make sure we had a good time. The dinner was buffet, and delicious, even had cheesecake served to us for dessert. The first drink of any kind is free, and then there is a reasonably priced cash bar. Servers walked all over the boat to take orders as well as make sure we were having a good time. The musician they had aboard was great as well. The entire trip including a visit to Captain Cook's monument which was narrated by a knowledgeable historian, so we knew where we were, and the history of all that had happened here. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone, adults and kiddos alike. Lynn Richardson, Destin, Florida

Aloha Lynn, Thank you for the amazingly detailed review! We love when guests are able to give clear, concrete details about the trip they took. They give future guests a chance to see what they can look forward to and also helps us see where we are hitting the mark for our passengers or where we can improve! Our goal is to be best on the island in all that we do, whether it is ranging from providing excellent service, fun activities, great food, and wonderful entertainment! And I agree, parking around the pier can be difficult. We are happy to provide the closest free parking to the pier for our guests so they do not have to worry about spending an extra dime on parking close by! We hope folks take your recommendations into consideration. See you on the next one? Mahalo, Derek Williams @ Body Glove Adventures

A must cruise to take on the Big Island! Our historian was so knowledgeable & lovely. Kalima , our musician/vocalist was the embodiment of Aloha spirit. And the food was outstanding! My grandson had two plates & he usually eats small portions. Our entire family agreed this was the highlight of our week celebrating Thanksgiving together!

Aloha 409marshab, With so many fun and exciting experience to be had during the Thanksgiving week, it is not an easy feat to be considered one of your highlights! That can only be done the way you described: great food, great entertainment, great crew, and great company! Our goal is to ensure that these elements can be provided to you while you go along the Kona coast. And it sounds like we managed to even please the pickiest of eaters! Hope to see you again soon!
