What a fabulous dinner cruise. The food was amazing! The staff was funny and friendly! The entertainment and music, was awesome! But we hit the trifecta... a whale breaching 3 times🐳, manta-ray saying "hello"👋 and dolphins spining out of control🦈. Man this was the best cruise ever!!!!💋 The whale was alone, and it wasn't whale season yet. But he put on a show specifically for our dinner cruise!🐳 It was the first time we saw a whale breach which was awesome!... thank you for a memorable vacation💋

Aloha Sarah, We heard all about this very special dinner cruise up here at our retail office and we are all super excited. When we see the first whale of the season, we know we are heading into our busiest time of year! For those reading this, whale season begins around December 15th, and ends right around the first week of April. Needless to say, when the ocean life shows up, it really creates a magical experience for everyone, even the crew. Thanks so much for telling the world about this experience!

This was our one opportunity to get out on the water and take a look back at the Island. The boat was clean and comfortable and plenty spacious. Lot's of places to sit with a good view for the trip. The staff was accommodating and efficient, but not overly friendly or interactive. The food was solid and good, not gourmet, but there was plenty and we were satisfied. The historical info. was hard to hear, so that made it less impactful for the trip. My husband and I went just the two of us and it had it's awkward moments when seated next to other couples and families. It's always the luck of the draw in those situations, sometimes you get the friendliest nicest people to hang out with for a few hours and other times your sharing the table in weird awkwardness, unfortunately that was our case this time. So we talked to the people at the table next to us instead :-) I would say, the highlights were the gorgeous sunset, the live musician was fantastic and played great music and interacted with the guests. If you haven't done a cruise this is a solid choice.

Aloha CooperSix, Thank you so much for joining us on our Historical Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay. We are glad you decided on Body Glove, and we appreciate this feedback. One of the challenges of running a cruise like ours is figuring out who needs a little extra attention to feel at home. Sorry we missed your cues there! So happy you particularly enjoyed the musician, and we are honored at your recommendation. Also, sometimes when we get a four-star review we are left wondering how we could have gotten that fifth star from our guest. We really do appreciate you filling in the blanks there. It gives us something to work with as we make choices about how to improve our guests' experiences in the future. Mahalo, Chris Grossi @ Body Glove Ocean Adventures

Aloha Ambassador, Thanks so much for saying so! I think we are much more of an adventure compared to a luau, though both are must-dos here in Hawaii! We would love to know more about how to blow you away. If you'd to tell us how we could have gotten that fifth star from you, please email [email protected]. We want to know what would have made the food great, and the music terrific. Thanks again! We appreciate your business and feedback. Mahalo, Chris Grossi @ Body Glove Ocean Adventures
