The boat was comfortable and clean but it was difficult to hear the commentary and the dinner was disappointing--no fish, vegetarian option only by prior arrangement and then a microwaved slice of lasagna. Seems way overpriced.

Aloha PlanetMoores, So sorry you didn't see the value in our trip! The buffet spread is huge, and actually does offer a fish option. We are the only operation around that makes a lomi lomi ahi tuna, and we get quite a bit of positive feedback on it! It is true that we require notice for vegetarian diets because we, in fact, make our vegetarian lasagna in house. We require 48 hours notice in order to guarantee that a vegetarian or vegan meal be available for guests with those special dietary needs, and are one of the more accommodating businesses when it comes to these requests. Curious to know what you paid. Occasionally, when not booking direct, travel agencies will mark up the product to increase their revenue. Thanks for giving us a chance while you were here in Kona PlanetMoores! Always disappointing to hear that our trips didn't live up to expectations. We take all feedback under review, and, when valid, make any and all appropriate improvements. Yours, Body Glove Ocean Adventures

Got some interesting historical information on the way out, along with live music. Delicious dinner at the end point, with surprise visitors. An unexpected school of dolphins swam around our boat jumping and cruising around like they were planned entertainment. Very professional crew that took care of us. A great evening.

Our trip was great on the sunset dinner cruise. Make sure you book on Sun Mo or Tues for the awesome sounds of Bula Akamu. His music made our cruise. Food was nothing short of great also.
