Went on Dinner Cruise. I use a power wheelchair and had no problem getting on the boat, rolled right over a huge metal ramp from the pier to the main deck!!! Staff was SUPER nice and helpful! Used sustainable practices, like paper straws and biodegradable flatware. For people with motion sickness they had everything - ginger candies, ginger soda with added ginger powder and Dramamine (?spelling). Staff, both on shore (person selling tickets) and on sea were super friendly!

Aloha Heather S, Thank you so much for mentioning our sales staff on Ali'i Drive. For those out there that haven't planned their vacations already, stop by any of the three of our sales booths on Ali'i Drive and meet Gail, Dan, or Jennifer. You can get exclusive deals at these locations, on not just our own excursions, but activities by air, land, and sea, island-wide! Many Mahalos, The Body Glove Cruises Team

We did the morning snorkeling and the dinner cruise the next day with the same company, same crew. We were really happy with the quality of their performance throughout the whole tour. We got some historical data presented in fun ways, that although it was very superficial and adapted for a general audience, it got us interested in learning more about the Big Island. The crew was very friendly and attentive, they made sure everyone was doing good and stayed safe throughout the whole experience. This was my first snorkeling experience and I was very pleased with how the crew made sure everybody felt safe, confident, and had a good time. The dinner cruise was perfect for us, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset, delicious food and delicious drinks. Overall a great experience, would be happy to do snorkeling again with them, and we recommend the dinner cruise for couples or friends, certainly most enjoyable surrounded by adults. :)

Aloha Gema G, Love this review, thank you! If anyone is ever curious, and wants a bit more depth from the historian on board, they are happy to field questions on the way back to our pier. At that point, the narrative is over, and they are free to roam about each deck and discuss the details of Hawaiian history with all passengers! We really appreciate you taking the time to spread the word Gema! Mahalo! Best, The Body Glove Cruises Team
