What a fun day ! - This was really an incredibly fun cruise day. You board the boat and they give you breakfast and lunch. The crew is so kind and helpful and fun but also make sure that you are safe. They take you out on about a 45 minute ride to a place that you snorkel , hang and listen to music while snorkeling or lounging or riding on paddle boards and different rafts and equipment they set up for you. . It’s a fun lunch , cash bar and great music. I highly recommend this very fun day.

Definitely do this snorkel trip! - Staff highly attentive! Always asking if things were ok, clearing plates from table etc. Then on our snorkel stop they were just as great! They will even bring you a drink out to the floatie! Bar service great & such a friendly staff all around!

A Magical Morning of Dolphins, Whales, and Snorkeling! - This was an amazing experience and a true highlight of our trip! From the start, we were greeted at the pier by spinner dolphins, which set the tone for a perfect day. The cruise offered gorgeous views, and the snorkel site was well-timed with excellent equipment—the slide off the boat was a total blast! Time spent at the site was just the right amount to be able to snorkel, swim, float and just relax.
The staff was top-notch; Captain Erica was so knowledgeable, and the entire crew (Chris, Tori, Daniel, Adam, and Corinne) provided fantastic service and food. On the way back, we were lucky enough to see bottlenose dolphins playing in our wake and even a humpback whale surfacing and diving back under water! It was truly extraordinary to be ushered back to the pier by even more spinning dolphins. Highly recommended!

Kailua boat trip is highly recommended - If you are looking to snorkel and see dolphins along the way and depending on the time of year, see whales, this is the trip for you! The crew was amazing and the 4 hours was well worth the money!!

Awesome time! - Did the Body Glove deluxe snorkel excursion today and it absolutely delivered. The crew was dialed in from start to finish: friendly, organized, and clearly knew what they were doing without making it feel like summer camp. The boat was spacious and comfortable, the gear was in good shape, and everything ran on time. A rare miracle in tourism.
Snorkeling was excellent with clear water, plenty of fish, and enough space to enjoy it without feeling herded. Bonus points for the food and drinks afterward, which were actually good and not the sad, forgettable kind. Music, vibes, and views were all on point.
If you’re on the fence, hop off it. This excursion is well-run, worth the money, and one of the better ways to spend a few hours on the water. Would book again without hesitation.

Amazing tour! - We went on two tours with Body Glove- the historical dinner cruise October 21 and the snorkel tour October 25 and we loved them both! Crew member Chris was engaging and fun and the bartender Mayara made some amazing drinks on the dinner cruise. The snorkel tour was great! They had some amazing food and even a vegetarian burger patty options for us. I was especially grateful for the safety precautions that were taken during the tour. I will definitely be taking another tour with Body Glove when I come back to visit the island.

This is the snorkel trip for you. - 10 out of 10 experience! From little kids to older adults had a great time with this team. They were exceptional. I’ve never been on an excursion with so much attention paid to all of the guests. The staff was on pint with safety AND fun. Really amazing team.

Family friendly, lovely staff! - A nice tour for mixed parties— kids can jump and slide, parents can relax on floaties or snorkel. Good food, but vegans beware— it’s a lettuce taro burger.
It was very yummy but the chips contain milk and the buns are brioche (egg) and we did communicate our dietary needs prior to the tour. That was a bummer.
