What to expect

Embark on a fun Body Glove snorkel tour, Kona's most popular boat trip! Swim at the protected Red Hill marine sanctuary, teeming with sea life, and watch for spinner dolphins in transit, as sightings are guaranteed or you ride again free!

To protect our visitors and activity providers, precautionary measures will be set up to monitor and mitigate the spread of potential disease. Please see the additional notes below for more details.

Big Island snorkeling tours don't get much better than this! With access to a private Marine Sanctuary at Red Hill, where some of the best snorkeling on Big Island can be found, and a boat decked out with lots of cool features, like a built-in water slide, this is sure to be fun for the entire family. Also, watch for wild dolphins along the Kona Coast, as they regularly race alongside Body Glove's boat and leap from the water. As dolphin watching is such a big part of the Body Glove tour experience, if you don't see any dolphins during your excursion, you can schedule to ride again for free!

Boat is well kitted out with good gear. Staff are on hand to help and provide support if required. Breakfast and lunch were perfect for a morning on the water. Even got to try paddle boarding without having to pay extra ...for hire

FAQ

Q. Are there restrooms available on the boat?

A. Yes, we have three large bathrooms and 2 outdoor fresh water showers on our boat.

Q. Will I see dolphins?

A. There is always a very good chance of seeing dolphins all year around from our boat as they enjoy riding in the boat's wake. On rare occasions they will come to visit at the snorkel location.

Q. When should I arrive?

A. Boarding is 30 minutes prior to departure time at the Kailua Pier. The Kailua Pier is located in the heart of downtown Kailua Kona, ocean front of the King Kamehameha Courtyard Marriott Kona Beach Hotel.

Waikoloa Resorts - 1.5 Hours
Hilo & Volcano - 3 Hours
