Big Island Afternoon Whale Watch Tour from Kona - Body Glove Cruises [Dec - Mar]
Humpy
Reviewed by: Michele
We were able to see a couple humpback whales, no breach but that was ok. Saw back & the tails! Wild creatures don't always do what we wish, but we saw them! Also saw 4 hammerhead sharks, bottle nose dolphin & a spinner dolphin. Great experience.

Great ride and lots of whale sitings
Reviewed by: TEACUP202
We had an awesome time and saw more tails and fins than we had hoped for. We loved the running commentary on whales and learned lots. Thanks to the entire crew for a wonderful cruise, even though the waters were choppy. We highly recommend this tour!

We had a great time on the morning whale watching cruise. The catamaran was large and comfortable. The crew was extremely knowledgeable. We saw a few whales and happened upon one bottle nose dolphin.

遠くにチラッと3回ほど確認できました。
ただ写真には収まらない程の遠くで一瞬でした。
ただ、クルーズとして楽しめました。
スタッフの皆さんは一切日本語が喋れませんがとてもフレンドリーでした。
この後のオアフ島で参加したイルカウォッチングで偶然に何度もクジラを近くで見れたので良かったです。

We saw whales but the boat was so-so
Reviewed by: Anonymous
We've been on multiple whale tours over the years. We saw multiple whales but the boat was crowded and pretty dated. The microphone didn't work for the first 30 minutes and they never used the hydrophone after mentioning that they had one. Definitely not the "spacious deck with ample seating for all passengers and first class amenities" as advertised. The Kawaihae Harbor location is setup weird. After arriving and checking in we had to board a bus for a 5 minute ride to the boat. Every cruise in the past allowed us to park and then walk on without a shuttle bus. The crew was friendly.

We went for a whale watch, problem was there weren't a lot of whales.

船長さんが頑張ってクジラを探し回ってくれましたが、遠くからしか見れず近距離ではなかなかみることができませんでした。
船を引き返すときにクジラの群れが飛び上がる様子が見えたのでほかの乗客たちが船長に伝えたのですが、もう時間切れみたいでとても残念でした。

Whale Watch Cruise on Glass Bottom Boat (from Kailua-Kona Pier)
Whale watch Cruise on Glass bottom Boat
Reviewed by: Tyrone Jergenson
We saw a mother whale and her new calf. The baby was so new that the mother had to hold it up with her fin for it to get some air. We also saw some bottle nose dolphins that escorted us back to the pier. Then while we were docking we saw a sea turtle through the glass bottom boat. It was a fantastic and relaxing tour.

Wow we saw momma baby and daddy humpbacks was saw whales all around us their tales were enormous it was the best day. We went mid morning the catamaran was spacious and very comfortable. Easy to board. The crew was very informative and friendly they were just as excited with all the action around us. We went in February 2015. I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing creatures. Definitely a must see activity if you are in Hawaii during the right time of year. I liked the fact that this tour allowed to you return until you actually see whales. I was fortunate to see my first time out, but nice to know I could have returned if I needed to without additional expense.

What a wonderful experience. We got to see whales and dolphins just a couple miles off shore. Whales breaching the surface constantly for 2 hours. We had one breach the water within 100 feet of the boat! Would highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you for the great review. We look forward to your return. Next timeyou may want to consider trying our Manta Ray Snorkel adventure. Mahalo!

私の行った年末年始はまだ序の口のようですがこの後３月くらいまでハワイではザトウくじらが散乱の為に南下してきますからよく見えます。
見張り役の方々とキャプテンがあの辺り！火事を進めて行くと２匹親子で、雄のみなど様々な形態で
潮を吹き尻尾を見せて潜ったり・・・・最後の方は船を追いかけてくぐって行きました。

I'll Keep Trying!!
Reviewed by: Donald Owen
I'm afraid the whales were very shy during our particular trip. We did see two on 4/5 occasions but only briefly from a distance. In these circumstances I think it's best to look upon the trip as a pleasure cruise because we were treated to great views of the Western side of Big Island. The crew deserve a mention...always polite and courteous...they looked after everyone with complimentary soft drinks.
