Royal Kona Luau and Dolphin Snorkel
Reviewed by: Overall pretty good time!, 2011/11/01Pretty good time. Luau was great and the snorkel cruise was awesome. There was only about 30 people on a the boat which was designed for 150 so we had alot of space to roam around...

Body Glove Snorkel & Royal Kona Lua
Reviewed by: Jeff Galloway, 2011/07/05We scheduled this event for my birthday and loved it.
The snorkeling is one of the most relaxing things to do on the island and I can not imagine passing this up as a scheduled event or to do on your own if you know were to go.
The boat ride was great. We saw a Manta Ray swimming at the surface and the captain turned the boat around so we could get a better view and take some pictures. we also saw a school of dolphins on the way there and back. The food and snacks were very good and no one went hungry. Drinks were reasonably priced and the staff was the friendliest of any event I have done here.
The boat has a slide and high dive that was a great thing to do to break up the snorkeling. The time allowed was good, but when your having fun it goes fast.
(My fault not a mark against the trip)
The one thing I learned and maybe I am a little behind the curve, but never had to deal with this is the dreaded swimmers ear. I tried to swim down a few feet and the pressure

Luau & Snorkeling
Reviewed by: Big island 10, 2010/06/08First time on big island, been to other island before. I book with Hawaii activities first time and every thing was in order. I will start with Luau, The music & dance was great the food was very so so don't expect anything special on food. Body glove snorkeling was very good. We got lucky because there were no cruise ship on dock that day so maybe 6-7 family enjoyed open space. The crew member were very nice they were looking out for 3-4 kids all the time so we could snorkel, beware of cruise ship because there could be up to 100 people on the ship other than that I recommand body glove snorkeling.

Wonderful time at both activities
Reviewed by: Christina F, 2010/06/05The Bodyglove snorkel and sail was great fun. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful and very competent at their jobs. They offered complementary sunscreen that was reef and fish friendly and that impressed me. The snorkeling location was beautiful and full of fish. The equipment was more than adequate as they had prescription lens goggles for us nearsighted folk. The ship was big and roomy and yes we did see dolphins on the way out. I highly recommend this company for this activity.
The Royal Kona Luau was a lot of fun. I do have one other luau under my belt to compare it to and I think this one was top notch. My family agreed that the food was better than the more pricey luau we went to in Kauai. I liked the entertainment that was more a history lesson than pure entertainment. While it was a larger affair than I first expected the host engaged the crowd in the entertainment and everyone seemed to have a great time. They even had hands on activities for the children

First Timer
Reviewed by: Amy, 2010/03/21The snorkel tour was fantastic. My husband, twin daughters (7) and I all went snorkeling for our first time. The crew was awesome. We felt safe and comfortable with them. We were able to view dolphins, whales, and even a manta ray while on the boat. The snorkeling was easy and the waters calm. We did not see much in the way of colorful fish or reef, but it was still amazing for our first time.
We chose to attend the morning sail. It was recommended to do most things in the morning because of the trade winds in the afternoon, or the possibility of rain showers. The boat was amazing. The fed us both breakfast and lunch as well as an available bar. There is a lower deck with seating at the front, or a covered area with tables to be in the shade or eat. The upper level had seating everywhere. It also included a slide and dive board that we enjoyed.
The luau was fun. The speaker was cheesy, but the dancing was great and most of the food was amazing. Open bar was nice.
