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.

Amazing crew, beautiful snorkeling, delicious food, and incredible dolphin encounters — an unforgettable family experien - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an absolutely amazing experience on the Body Glove Snorkel Cruise! The crew was incredible — so personable, friendly, and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. We were lucky to have unforgettable dolphin encounters, and the snorkeling location was beautiful, with plenty of vibrant fish and coral to observe. It was the perfect family trip from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone visiting and locals as well!

A must see - It was great. The crew was amazing and very friendly. We never became thirsty. The breakfast and lunch was good. The staff would even bring drinks to you while swimming. Great service. I was a little disappointed as there wasn't that many of a variety of fish. I didn't see any dolphins or turtles, but that is nature. They are on Hawaiian time, too. This is ny second time with the Body Glove cruise.

Meh - An hour to get to our snorkel area, breakfast on the way (small vanishes, yogurt, fruit and granola-nothing special and left the kids wanting more), most of the staff was very attentive, respectful and knowledgeable. Lunch was good (burgers, chips of some sort-was meh). I guess with the hour there and another hour back, snorkeling felt short and seemed to get lucky w seeing a dolphin on the way back.
The older gentleman was rude to my daughter, w everyone else being so nice I was surprised. If you don't know how to speak to children, you should really just avoid them altogether.

Not Good for Snorkeling- Good for Family Fun on the Water - We really wanted to go on this tour for the snorkeling which was extremely disappointing! We saw hardly any cool fish at all. You should book this if you are just looking for family fun on the water- not for the snorkeling. The staff was really friendly and the lunch they prepared was amazing!
