We have returned to Kona again this winter and to our surprise my sister in law had tickets for the 4 of us to go on this whale watch. We had taken the snorkeling trip last year and were so impressed with the crew and event that we were looking forward to going again . This trip was complete with an incredibly knowledgeable woman so knowing her info on whales and such excitement in her voice on personal experiences. We saw several Blows and whale tail slaps but best of all was when that Beautiful huge whale breeched in front of us, A must do !!

Our family took an early afternoon whale watching cruise. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and our family learned a lot about the few whales that were seen. On this trip, unfortunately not much else (dolphins, turtles, etc.) was seen, but the trip was still worthwhile. The boat was big with many people, but still able to move around and not feel smothered. It was a bit hard to find the main office for check-in with free parking in the shopping area. You are on your own to stroll several blocks down the hill to find the dock area. We didn't have a problem finding it but allow enough time (at least 20 minutes) because it is a busy area and takes some walking around the Marriott Hotel to locate it.

January 15, 2018 Fabulous trip. We saw 2 whales and we watched them for more than an hour. Denver , the naturalist was a fabulous guide, so knowledgeable . The crew were friendly and nice. Safety first. I would highly recommend the Body Glove tours to everyone. Well worth the money.
