We have been on Body Glove in past years for their snorkel cruise and have had nothing but great experiences. This time the family took the Historic Sunset Dinner Cruise to the Capt Cook monument. Everything was just perfect for this cruise. We enjoyed the on-board historian who pointed out the various cultural sites along the shore and described the fate of Capt Cook at K-Bay! We expected plentiful food but we did not expect to have GREAT food -- on a boat in a buffet line -- we were WRONG -- the food was awesome. The fresh pineapples and oranges were especially sweet and juicy. The Punalu'u Hawaiian Sweet rolls (so much better than the King's!) were to die for. And the main meal -- the tastiest shredded pork and tenderest brisket -- what a pleasant treat. We were all stuffed. They include one alcoholic or frozen non-alcoholic drink per customer and all the soda, juices, and coffee you want. This tour exceeded our already high expectations and the prices are not so spendy. We highly recommend.

we really enjoyed this dinner (sunset) cruise. The staff was outstanding and did everything to make the trip enjoyable. The guide was very congenial and made the "history lesson" well worth listening to. The entertainment was unbelievable. He obviously was playing to his audience (mostly older). He played a great selection of 60, 70, and 80's. had the upstairs rocking. The food was above average and plenty of it All in all it is easy to see why this is the best rated cruise around.

Great experience with cruise including an historian on board with great knowledge of the sights and history of the island. Live music was also provided and enjoyable. The Dinner was varied, well prepared, and enjoyable. The crew members were totally engaged with the guests on board and bent over backwards to help in any way. Overall a great experience to try!!!!!
