Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Smooth sailing

Reviewed by: Angela

This excursion was very nice. If you get seasick I recommend the wristbands. I bought mine at a store prior, but they sell them at the check in booth. Their whole staff were so nice. By far the nicest crew. They were very attentive. Always making sure u didn't need anything. The music was excellent and our speaker Micheala was the sweetest and very informative about the island. She even did a hula dance for us right before we left. The food and the sunset were great. I recommend this one for sure :)))

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

I get seasick, but my wife is very satisfied. 私は船酔い、妻は大満足

Reviewed by: Miya

My wife and I participated together. Due to traveling from Japan the day before, I was sleep-deprived, possibly because of jet lag, and ended up feeling seasick despite the boat not rocking much. I ate the breakfast bread served on board and saw dolphins from the boat, but other than that, I mostly slept.

However, my wife, who loves marine sports, was able to see several dolphins swimming very close by. When we anchored near a cape about an hour away from the pier in Kona, she was very satisfied as she used a snorkel to dive. It seems that for those who already enjoy marine sports, this tour offers a high level of satisfaction.

The staff, who at first glance appeared intimidating, were actually quite kind. While I was waiting for the restroom to become available on the boat, one of the staff quickly noticed and guided me to another restroom. Most participants were American families (Caucasian), but according to my wife, there was an elderly woman of Indian or Southeast Asian descent who seemed to struggle with swimming, yet the staff provided significant support for her diving experience. They are well-prepared to accommodate beginners. However, everything is in English, and they speak quite fast.

Since we were in open waters, there were concerns about sharks, but we were instructed to never stray far from the boat, ensuring safety.

So, originally, I would give this a five-star rating, but due to my seasickness, I have to deduct one star. Since it’s a morning tour, make sure to go to bed early the night before and get plenty of sleep.

妻と二人で参加しました。前日日本からの移動のため、時差ボケのためか寝不足のままツアー参加となり、大した揺れでもないのに私は船酔い。船内で出された朝食のパンを食べ、船内からイルカの姿を見た以外は、ほとんど寝ているという有様。
しかし、もともとマリンスポーツ大好きな妻は、すぐ近くで泳ぐイルカを何頭も見ることができ、コナのピアから1時間ほど船で移動した岬の近くに停泊したときには、シュノーケルを使って潜るなど、大満足。もともとマリンスポーツが好きな人には、かなり満足度が高いツアーのようです。
スタッフも一見コワモテに見えるお兄さんばかりでしたが、実際のところはかなり親切。私が船内のトイレが空くのを待っていたら、目ざとく見つけて別のトイレを案内してくれました。参加者のほとんどはアメリカ人(白人)の家族連れでしたが、妻によるとインドか東南アジア系の老婦人がいて、泳ぎが全くダメそうだったけどスタッフがかなりサポートして潜る体験もできたそう。初心者向けの対応もしっかりしています。ただし、全部英語です。しかもしゃべりが速い。
外洋なのでサメが怖いけど、船の周りからは絶対離れないようにとの指導もあり、安全性も確保されていたようです。
というわけで、本来星5つのことろ、私の船酔いのせいでマイナス1。朝出発のツアーなので、前日は早めに寝てしっかり睡眠をとりましょう。

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

First class food and entertainment

Reviewed by: Tim and Pam

My wife and I went on the Captain Cook dinner cruise last week, and it was much better than either of us expected. The musical entertainment was first class, and we were able to watch spinner dolphins and short-finned pilot whales. It was hard to hear the narration of the historical sites, but that was probably our fault for sitting on the other side of the boat. We would definitely do this again if we ever visit Kona in the future.

4.5-Hour Deluxe Kona Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch with Lunch - Body Glove Cruise

Wonderful Experience Ever!

Reviewed by: Chang Kim

It was the most wonderful experience with my family. We went the morning program and the weather was great (not too sunny but not too cloudy). The staff crews and captain are wonderful to serve every single passenger. Ola, one of staff remembers our names and keep checking us often. Dolphins were waiting for our Body Grove boat and played with our boat both ways from/to the spot. The snorkeling was beautiful ever and the meals were also wonderful. My wife had a motion sickness and hard time to survive but all other four family members had life-long unforgettable memory. If you have motion sickness, better to prepare some medicine to prevent it. My kids enjoyed the high jumps. There are some waves. Thanks to Captain and all crews.

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

It was great, but I started to feel sleepy halfway through... 最高でしたが...途中から眠気が...

Reviewed by: だまさ

The buffet was abundant with all-you-can-drink options, and the meat dishes were particularly delicious (though the seasoning was a bit strong). I spent a leisurely time watching the sunset, and although there were hardly any Japanese people around, it felt like a family atmosphere, as mentioned in someone else's experience. I chatted a bit with the couples and families nearby, but I think it would have been an even better dinner if I had stronger English skills! However, since the time was long, I found myself battling sleepiness in the second half...

豊富なビュッフェに飲み放題、特に肉類は美味しかったです(味付け濃いめでしたが)。
サンセットを見ながら、ゆっくり過ごし、日本人はほとんどいませんでしたが、どなたかの体験談にもあったように周りの席とは家族のような感じでした。
周りの夫妻や家族と少し会話しましたが、自分に英語力があればもっといいディナーになっていたとおもいます!
ただ時間が長いので後半は睡魔との戦いでした...

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

Incredibly reasonable. 最高にリーズナブル

Reviewed by: つるちゃん

The cost was $100, and at first, I thought it was a bit expensive, but $100 is about 11,000 yen. Considering that you get to see a live traditional luau and Hawaiian show up close, along with an all-you-can-eat meal and drinks, it’s quite reasonable. There were hardly any Japanese people around, and everyone spoke only English. I was a bit anxious, but it was fun, and by the end, I was shouting in Hawaiian along with the host. After the luau, I took pictures with the dancers on stage. I even got a tattoo stamp on my arm, just like the Hawaiians (it was water-based ink, so it came off quickly afterward). It was so much fun!

費用が100ドルで、最初はちょっと高いかなと思いましたが、100ドルって11,000円ですよね。生の伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショーを間近に見て、おいしい食事とドリンクは食べ放題、飲み放題だったら、充分リーズナブルでしょう。ほとんど日本人が居ない中で、廻りは英語のみ。不安に固まりでしたが、楽しくて、終わりには司会者の声に合わせてハワイ語の叫び声を上げていました。ルアウ後、舞台で踊ったダンサー達と写真を撮りました。腕にはハワイ人と同じ入れ墨をスタンプ(水性インクなので後ですぐに落ちました)してもらいました。楽しかったなー。

Island Breeze Luau

Reviewed by: Kay

We come to this Luau every year! We have a timeshare so this year was our 7th time to the big island and the 4th time to this show. We tried shows in other places but came back to this one because the food is the best, the setting is right on the water, and the show is most entertaining. Everyone makes it fun from the host who takes tickets and encourages a lei purchase, the photographer, the announcer for the show, the musicians, the artists who go through many costume changes and the wait staff. We recommend this show to anyone who asks. Thank you all for your committed and talented time. See you next year!

I have experienced various luau shows, but this one felt a bit lacking. The structure was stretched out, with a lot of band performances in between the hula. The meal was a 60 out of 100. I left early, so perhaps it got more exciting in the second half.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

The most romantic and special event of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: Kimo Kameaalohalani

So I decided to propose on this particular cruise, and I couldn't have picked a more romantic, thoughtful, and special cruise to do it. I was so incredibly nervous, but the customer service rep was extremely communicative and responsive for my specific request. John, the captain of the vessel, was so knowledgable in the marine life, that my fiance and I asked if he had majored in Marine Biology in college. He had a lot of passion for the marine life and he spent a lot of time speaking with us. Also, the wait staff was beyond courteous, they took pictures of my engagement, and they made us feel so special with their champagne toast.

I also set-up an original song to sing for my fiance, and the musician onboard actually learned my song before-hand, and played it perfectly as I sang it in front of 40 strangers! His tunes really bring that cool, Hawaiian vibe, and the MC was great with her meticulous tour and crowd work. I couldn't have asked for a better sunset, a perfect location, and the greatest staff that I have probably ever encountered. That's saying a lot as I had been a musician on several international five-star cruise lines in the past. I would HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a special event with incredible food.
