Kohala Whale Watching Tour by Ocean Sports | Kids 0-5 Ride for Free [Dec - Mar]

We saw whales but the boat was so-so

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.
That's not Body Gloves fault, they made the cruise enjoyable anyway.
We did get to see two whales and a couple dolphins.

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。

Morning Whale Watch & Snorkel BBQ Cruise (from Kailua-Kona Pier)

An absolutely grand time

Reviewed by: ScottJ

This tour is outstanding. One disclaimer, it is 'whale watch lite' then let's go snorkel. We looked for whales on the way to the snorkel spot and again on the way back. And we did see a couple from a distance. I say this because if you want to really focus on the whales, get up really close, look for multiple sightings, etc., then you might want to choose another. But, if you want a great cruise with great snorkeling, and an opportunity to see a whale, then this is the one.

The boat is well equipped, comfortable, and the crew very attentive. Food is available most of the cruise, and it was very good. A cash bar was available. The captain was very knowledgable, giving interesting commentary on the whales, dolphins (we shall many Dolphins), and geology of the island.

The snorkel spot was outstanding, located just off the coast. The water was just right, and there were all kinds of colorful fish to see. The snorkel instruction was h best I have seen. They even taught me how to not drink half the ocean. There is a water slide on the boat, fun.

Overall a great day.

The party I was with and I, recently went on a tour and didn't see any whales and there was a miscommunication about there garantee on Dolphin/whale sighting. We wrote a negative review and their office called and apologized for the confusion and offered us all a free trip back on the boat. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip AND the fact that they called us back for another trip. Thank you very much!! This is a great trip you dont want to miss out on.

This was such a fun expedition with some of the most professional folks ever! Great sense of humor and made us feel very comfortable. This was my first time snorkeling and they went over everything very well. And lucky us - we got to see two whales at the end of the season, no less! I would definitely do this again or one of the other Body Glove activities.

We had the best time on the Body Blove Whale Watch and Snorkel Cruise. The staff was very enthusiastic and quick to point out and get us closer to the dolphins and whales that were spotted. It was a real surprise and treat to see a whale breach in early April. The snorkeling spot was beautiful, and my kids loved the high jump and water slide.

Morning Whale Watch & Snorkel BBQ Cruise (from Kailua-Kona Pier)

not a single attempt to see a whale was made

Reviewed by: DutchCleo

I was sold this tour as a whale watch & snorkel event, but on the day it was not that (it was a boat ride, piss-up and snorkel). No attempt was ever made to see any whales and it was not billed as such to others on the boat. The barman was very good at selling us all sorts (GoPro hire, sell snorkels, drinks, underwater cameras etc), and lots of people were drinking copious amounts of cocktails and having a fab time. The atmosphere on the boat was great. The boat and equipment was very good (much better than on another snorkel excursion I did earlier that week), staff, facilities & food were good, and the weather was fabulous. I really wanted to see the whales as it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (I live in the UK), and other trips that week had been for whale watching through Body Glove cruises, but not this one. It must have been an unfortunate mix-up through this website

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.

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'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.
