What a great day on the water! The crew of the Body Glove are all so friendly and welcoming! The boat is kept super clean. They have a naturalistic named Denver who provides a running information commentary that was very interesting. Special thanks to Darrick, Jeremy and Rachael who all went above and beyond to make this excursion amazing!

The whale watching was kind of disappointing, we saw maybe 3 whales from afar... not much to see, the host kept talking, talking, talking, talking. Kids were bored after a while. Not worth the money !

Mahalo for your feedback. It's unfortunate we don't have control over Mother Nature. We hope the rest of your visit was pleasant. Aloha!

This was a really fun trip! The naturalist, Denver, provided us with a lot of information about whales, and did a great job of answering our questions. We did see a couple of whales! They put on a really nice show! I would highly recommend the Body Gloce excursion. The whole crew was pleasant and fun!
