Amazing day and highlight of trip. - I’m honestly still buzzing from our trip with Body Glove. It was easily the highlight of our time on the water. We didn't just see a whale or two; we saw so many different humpbacks, and one actually breached right near the boat—it was incredible to see that kind of power so close up. To top it off, we even spotted a whale shark, which I know is a rare treat, and had spinner dolphins jumping and playing around us all morning.
The whole vibe on the boat was spot on. The music was fantastic and kept the energy up the whole time. Captain Erica was awesome and really knew how to find the action, while the naturalist and the rest of the crew were so accommodating and actually knew their stuff, answering all our questions without missing a beat.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for a tour that genuinely delivers, this is it. We had so many opportunities to see the wildlife and felt taken care of the whole way. Thanks for an unforgettable day!

Good value and highly entertaining - We really enjoyed our experience. The fact that it was a smaller sized boat made it feel more personalized. McKenna, the naturalist on board, knew a lot of information and answered all of our questions. The snacks were perfect. We enjoyed drinks like ginger beer, iced coffee, water or coconut water or root beer. Most importantly, e saw several whales. One or two gave us a great show with many beaches and tail slapping.

Great Guides! - Olivia was a great guide! She is a wealth of information! There was someone on our boat that seemed unrealistically upset that we did not spot a whale within the first 20 minutes of our excursion. Olivia treated him with patience & kindness. While he was complaining to her, we saw a humpback whale! No more complaining after that. That made me think that maybe these tours should remind people when they are boarding that these "Whale Watching" tours can not possibly guarantee that they will see a whale, since these excursions are based on animal behavior out in the wild! If you want a guarantee whale performance....go to Sea World! With that said - I would definitely go on this excursion again with this company! I 1000% recommend!

Don't Miss this Experience! Super Raft Whale Watching - Highly recommend Body Glove. Staff was informative, fun, and professional. Makenna, Tyler, Craig (I think I have the names correct) and any other crew I missed were as excited about our experience as we were. Fortunately, we saw many whales, almost continuously throughout our 2.5 hour boat ride. Makenna provided so many facts about the whales whenever there was a pause in the action. She explained what we were seeing and why whales were doing what they were doing that day. When in Kona, don't miss this experience.

A whale of a good time - We had a great time. Saw 6 or 7 different whales multiple times in several groups as well as spinner dolphins. Crew was great, especially Brittany who was the naturalist.
Highly recommended

Great Whale Experience - Great boat, with comfortable seating! Wonderful, knowledgeable capitán and first mate Kosmos. We received clear instructions where to meet and were asked several times to be 30 minutes early. My family of six and two others followed these and were greeted by Britney. She told us not to get in line until others came and then walked off to find then. When she came back with the other 30 guest, she lined the up and the told us to join the line. We boarded last and were unable to sit together. Upon returning, we were seated at the exit point ( from boarding last), she stood here and blocked our exit so the others could get off first! Maybe it was old friends visiting her, but the experience would have been better if we could have enjoyed it as a family instead of being seated next to random people.
