Our Body Glove Zodiac Sunset Dinner & Whale Watching Cruise was nothing short of amazing! ๐ค๐ From the comfortable boat to the delicious food, the friendly and knowledgeable crew, and the breathtaking sights, this experience was truly unforgettable!
๐ค The Boat โ Spacious, Comfortable & Smooth
The large Zodiac boat was incredibly comfortable, with well-padded seats that made the ride enjoyable from start to finish. Plenty of space to relax, take in the views, and move around without feeling cramped. A smooth ride with just the right amount of fun on the waves! ๐๐
๐ฝ๏ธ The Food โ Exceeded Expectations!
Dinner was delicious! ๐คค We enjoyed Kahlua pork with white rice, full of rich, savory island flavor, followed by an amazing dark chocolate torte for dessert. ๐ซโจ Eating while anchored in a calm, shallow cove right in front of the Captain Cook Monument, with crystal-clear water beneath us, made the moment even more special. ๐๐๏ธ
๐จโโ๏ธ๐ฉโโ๏ธ The Crew โ Outstanding Service & Expertise
Captain Channing, Mikena, and Chris were absolutely fantastic! ๐ They were friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodatingโalways making sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed, and learned about the history and marine life around us. Their passion for what they do really shines through! โญ๏ธ๐
๐ ๐ฌ The Sights โ Stunning & Unforgettable
The scenery was breathtaking! We saw an amazing sunset, explored various small coves, and even had the magical experience of visiting with a school of bottlenose dolphins! ๐ฌ๐ The peaceful beauty of the coastline at sunset was something weโll never forget! ๐ โจ
๐ Eco-Friendly Efforts โ Respect for the Ocean
One of the things we loved most was the crewโs commitment to protecting the environment. When they spotted floating trash in the water, they immediately stopped to remove itโa small but powerful act that showed their respect for the ocean and marine life. ๐ฟ๐โป๏ธ
๐ฐ Show Your Appreciation โ Tip Generously! ๐ต๐
This crew goes above and beyond to make the experience truly specialโso if you take this cruise, bring cash and tip them well! ๐ฐ๐ They absolutely deserve it!

ย ย ย Read moreMy fiancรฉ purchased this cruise as a gift for my birthday, and we were both really looking forward to it. Seeing the island from the water, learning more about Hawaiian history, and the promise of dinner upon arrival to the bay all sounded wonderful. I will preface this review by saying we are two very low-maintenance individuals who pretty much find the positives in everything, so to write this review is very unusual for me. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing. We set out into choppy seas with seats on the bow of the boat with no table available unless you were standing. About 10 minutes into the cruise we were presented with silverware, and shortly after a spinach salad. With the rough water, wind blowing, and no table, the spinach from everyone's salads was blowing everywhere and it was difficult to eat. We could barely hear the historian who was sharing, and could not follow along with what she was discussing. Her narrative was broken up with a musician (who was talented) covering songs from the 70s/80s, which really was not the vibe I would expect from how the cruise was advertised. Very early in the journey we were presented with a plated, fork and knife, short rib dinner, which we were forced to try to eat in our laps in continuously choppy water - which surprised me because in the description was stated "The narration concludes upon arrival to the bay and dinner is served." Even with Dramamine on board as a precaution, my normally strong stomached fiancรฉ began to feel incredibly seasick while trying to manage eating his meal, and ultimately neither of us ate much (and after looking around, neither did most of the other guests). The only saving grace of this tour came from nature in the form of a beautiful rainbow and a pod of spinner dolphins swimming along with the boat, which was about all that was worth it from this experience. If you're looking for a booze cruise without much history and a weird dinner, this might be for you. But for what he paid for this, it was definitely...
ย ย ย Read moreMy family went on the early snorkeling tour on August 6th 2025 & had a wonderful time! From the second we walked up the staff was friendly & engaging. We got a table & were quickly offered drinks & we made our way to the breakfast bar. Yogurt, berries, granola, mixed fruit & pastries were offered & all were quite good! A large bottle of sunscreen was available next to the bar & they do not allow the spray cans of sunscreen to be used on board. Make sure you apply before arriving at the snorkeling site as you need 15 minutes for it to absorb, or you have to wait. On the ride over to the snorkeling site we saw lots of flying fish and a pod of dolphins. Very exciting! After our arrival we were given clear safety directions & snorkeling gear was handed out. There were some swells to get used to, but it didnt take much time to get comfortable in the water & start seeing fish & the reef. At lunch there was a burger bar that had beef or taro patties, with or without cheese & all the fixing including sprouts! This vegetarian LOVED the taro patty and would very much like the recipe. (Please, boat chef!) The sprouts were a lovely touch and perfectly washed & dried. They also had root vegetable chips that looked homemade. They were so good! The whole lunch was really good & I'm a picky vegetarian with allergies. I haven't mentioned the bar yet! Some drinks are complementary & you can buy boozy drinks. I can't remember all the drinks offered, but one had taro & was really good. Everything we ordered from the bar was tasty.
My family had the BEST time on our Body Glove trip! Thanks to the crew!
Oh yeah, we had parked at their store front a few blocks away and upon returning was able to use their changing room to get out of our swimsuits. We all found merch/souvenirs there...
