Great tour! - My nephew had been on the Body Glove snorkel tour a few times and suggested we all go during a family reunion week in Hawaii. Everything he told me about it was true - the crew is incredibly helpful, engaging, and informative. We had a big group and a few times had to revise our booking as people were added or dropped from our list. The communication was great, and there was no difficulty modifying our reservation. The trip itself was wonderful - saw spinner dolphins on our way to a nice reef with good snorkeling. The boat also had a water slide and jumping deck which all of the kids enjoyed as well as rafts, inner tubes, lily pads and paddle boards! Safety is a priority and there were lifeguards watching us from the boat and in the water during our time off the boat. Breakfast and lunch were very good, especially the burgers cooked on the boat's grill. Very impressed by the entire experience, and the kindness and knowledge of the Captain and his crews. Book it - you'll love it!

Great snorkeling tour - Fabulous tour. The snorkeling was amazing and we saw many different types of fish. The kids and the daddy had a blast jumping off the boat playing on the slide. Amazing crew took good care of us, gave us great knowledge of Hawaii and the ecosystem, and even got into the water to help identify the school of hammerhead sharks we were cruising next to. The breakfast and lunch was wonderful and everyone found something they liked to eat. The stairs up and down the boat were perfect for me and make it easy to get back in the boat when I was done snorkeling.

So Fun - This was an amazing experience. It was just snorkeling but also they had a slide, high jump and lots of toys for relaxation. We saw some cool fish while snorkeling and dolphins on our way out and back in. The crew was outstanding.. they were so friendly, kind, helpful, and fun!

Worth the money - This was a truly great experience for each person in our group! They didn’t just have snorkeling but also a slide and toys to relax in the ocean. The crew was amazing, funny, helpful and so kind! I would book this over and over just to see different things. They served a light breakfast with cheeseburgers for lunch and the food was very good. We saw dolphins and a variety of fish.

Excellent - One of the best snorkeling excursions we have been on. The staff was excellent , safety was 10/10 ..even had a lifeguard in the water during snorkeling ..they were watching continuously for everyone to have a great safe experience in the water. Families with young children , disabled persons were all treated with care and respect for all levels of abilities to enjoy the same experiences with modifications if required. I would highly recommend this excursion. Thank you Body Glove !

PERFECT TRIP, NICE BOAT, FUN FUN FUN - The food and staff were excellent, location good, saw a bunch of fish but the boat is really kid friendly , and beginner friendly so that's a plus for a lot of families
A slide and jumping spot were cool, Floaties, drinks in the water served by the staff, also cool, and a big floating frog pad even baby Floaties so they can see to the bottom, crystal clear waters
But best part was the boat and staff, just perfect

Nice day on the water - Great boat. Crew was super attentive. They fed us well and always made sure we had drinks. Safety briefings were fun. The snorkeling was average. The spot we went to was too deep and they didn’t allow us to get very near the shore where we could get a closer look at the coral and sea life. If you’re going more for the snorkeling, this may. Or be the best tour. Lots of stuff to do besides snorkeling. They had all the toys plus a high dive platform and water slide. Great day out on the water. Don’t forget to tip your crew. I was bummed to see how many people got off the boat without leaving a tip. Hopefully they did it electronically. The crew was awesome.
