    Body Glove consistently delivers exceptional experiences on the water, with their crews earning particularly high praise from guests. Staff members like Kai and Kyler get called out by name for being knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone has a great time. The team's warmth and professionalism shine through across both snorkeling adventures and sunset dinner cruises. The food quality surprises people in the best way, with generous portions and tasty options whether you're out for a daytime snorkel or evening sail. Guests love the educational component too, especially the historical commentary about the islands from the ocean perspective. Many visitors report seeing spinner dolphins and abundant marine life during their trips. Several reviewers mention returning for multiple cruises, which speaks volumes about the consistent quality. One thoughtful tip: consider taking Dramamine if you're prone to seasickness.

    Everything about the snorkeling tour was great. From the making of the reservation to check-in to all the fun on the boat to bidding farewell the staff were so courteous and helpful. We loved the swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding, sliding, and jumping off the boat. The crew went out of their way the entire boat trip to make everyone feel safe and provide a fun atmosphere. The food was good! The music was good! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun way to explore the Kona coast!
