Great experience. - Deluxe large Catamaran vessel very comfortable and great for snorkeling swimming or just lounging in the ocean water. Awesome jump from top deck even a slide off the back of the boat. Easy access off and back on the boat after a swim. Nice breakfast and lunch - burgers were great. Staff very friendly and attentive. I would do it again.

Good fun! - Crew was safety conscience, fun, hard working and had great attitudes. The pre snorkel talk was informative, breif and helpful. Bathrooms clean and huge! Plenty of room to change clothes in there. Snorkel gear was top notch. Use the spray for the mask. It really works. Sunscreen they provide is the best. I wore it all day and it never felt like plastic wrap, lol.

Inclusive, Fun and Truly Memorable! - Body Glove in Hawaii is absolutely unforgettable! As a wheelchair user, I was blown away by how the crew went above and beyond to help me safely get into the water and fully enjoy the experience. Their kindness, patience and encouragement meant so much.
Our large group ranged in age from 4 to 70 and every single person had an amazing time. The crew’s energy and enthusiasm were unmatched, each staff member truly deserves their own shoutout!
From start to finish, it was the perfect way to spend my birthday. I can’t recommend Body Glove enough for anyone looking for an inclusive, fun and memorable adventure in Hawaii. 🌺 🌊 🐠

The crew was great. Very... - The crew was great. Very attentive and made sure to stop by to see if anything was needed. The food was good and there was plenty of it. The snorkel gear was in very good shape. It was nice to not have to bring your own gear. My family had a great time and would consider this tour again if we were looking for a snorkel tour on the Big Island.

Good crew and good food - Breakfast and lunch was really nice. The crew was great as well. My husband forgot to take his watch off and they actually dove down until they found it. We told them it was our fault and not to worry, but they made sure to find it. They really went above and beyond and that was really cool of them. We gave the girl that found it the only cash we had on us as a tip, but wished we had more. I only removed a star because I just don't think they use a good snorkel area. We only saw one type of fish the entire time and it was black with a white stripe. So the snorkle part of this trip was really kinda boring. I read a couple other reviews that said the same thing. We did enjoy ourselves, but I think we would choose a different adventure next time. Great crew and all other than that, but the snorkeling was a big reason we went and it was a bit of a let down for us. Thanks to the crew for being so great though
