This tour had the best of everything. Talented musician...amazingly talented musician playing Hawaiian and popular music with a Hawaiian flair on his ukulele. He was worth the trip all by himself, HOWEVER it didn't stop there. The cruise was along a stretch of some of the most beautiful Hawaiian coastline and a Hawaiian historian told us about what we saw. The food was delicious and plentiful. There was absolutely nothing in the cruise that needed to be changed.

Aloha jms552014, Thank you so much for the feedback! I agree, having a talented musician on board definitely adds a great flair to the entire cruise. The musicians we bring on board go out of their way to make sure everyone is entertained, and dare I say, serenaded while on the cruise. Our goal with the Historical Sunset Dinner Cruise is to make sure everyone gains a new perspective of the Big Island of Hawai'i. If our guests walk away having learned something new, that's an automatic win for us. Once again, thank you so much for your kind words. We are always aiming to go higher and find ways to improve our cruises. This feedback proves that we are heading in the right direction. Hope to see you out on the water with us again soon!

What a lovely sunset cruise! This company is a top-notch outfit to set sail with. The crew is great, and very accomodating to my wife's special needs. The food was amazing, and the entertainment by Shawn Kalima was wonderful. We saw Spinner Dolphins and a spectacular sunset. What more could you ask for? When we return to Kona, we will definitely book this tour again. We are sure that we would have had just as wonderful a time if it had rained! A special shout-out to Leanna in the Main Office, Captain John C., Guide/Naturalist Boyd, and the deck crew of Chelsea, Jonah and Elliott. They were all awesome! Highly recommended!

Aloha Jay, Thank you so much for your high praise! Our goal with every excursion is to ensure that everyone has a memorable experience on board. The crew work hard to meet everyones needs and we want everyone to walk away from our cruise with a new perspective of the island of Hawai'i. This is facilitated by having our Narrator educate you on local history and Musician to serenade you while you're on board. We have been improving our menu over the years, so I am glad we hit the mark with you on this. And I tipped the dolphins something extra to make sure they made an appearance that night. They will not sign a contract so our dealings with them is always up in the air. Once again, thank you so much for your feedback. Our goal is that everyone walks away from our cruise with the same experience. Hope to see you out in the water with us again in the future! Mahalo, Chris Grossi @ Body Glove Adventures
