Water was choppy. Captain unfortunately had to cancel the cruise for safety. I commend them for cancelling and refunding our money. Well, technically we haven't gotten our money yet but ...i'm not worried..

Aloha Bchapman9245, Thanks for this review! Can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone recognize that when we cancel a trip due to weather it's in the best interests of our guests. It does take a few business days, but I'm sure you'll see your refund soon. Mahalo, Chris Grossi @ Body Glove Ocean Adventures

My parents, wife and I really enjoyed Body Glove’s Historical Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay. The crew was so friendly, helpful, courteous. Love it when the crew is excellent. The historian was so knowledgeable on the history of the big island, the Hawaiian culture, Captain Cook, and Kealakekua Bay. The food was very good and the drinks were available throughout the cruise. On the way back from Kealakekua Bay, we enjoyed a fantastic musician playing Hawaiian songs and popular music all the while watching a beautiful sunset. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience.

We really enjoyed the dinner cruise. We saw a school of spinner dolphins in the bay while we were eating. The guy playing the music was very good. And the narrator told us about the history of the Hawaiian coastline. Very informative and enjoyable short cruise. A bit over priced but still enjoyable - that’s the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars.
