マウナケア・キラウエアの雄大な自然を満喫し、太平洋に向けてのアクティビティ。船長さんが目をこらして船を進めるものの、クジラと出会うことはできませんでした。しかし、太平洋に静かに沈む夕日を満喫することができました。

The staff on the boat were fantastic. We were all very patient but only 1 manta ray showed, and stayed for about 1 minute so that was disappointing. we were offered another night on the house but we were flying out the following day, and they don't offer refunds.

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。

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.
Aloha ScottJ!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We hope to see you again next time you visit our amazing island!

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.

I'll be honest, overall I didn't have a great time on this trip. We sailed off late and missed the sunset which we were supposed to enjoy, and then spent 15 minutes "sailing" in a circle getting tossed about in the waves in the boat which was very unenjoyable. I wouldn't call it snorkeling either. After an hour of getting tossed around in the waves, you get in your wet suit and get your snorkel mask and get in the water to hold on to a long float, getting beat up by the waves (some more) while playing footsie with your neighbor. Meanwhile, your float is drifting in the current towards the plethera of other boats in the surrounding area leaving you wondering if you're going to get run over or not. Seriously, our floating group ended up almost tangled in another boats anchor line. It was incredibly unsafe.
Why am I rating it a 3 with the description being very negative? Well it's because it's the most incredible thing to see Manta's swimming INCHES from you. We had quite a few come by and it was spectacular to witness for those few seconds.
Thank you for taking the time to review your tour. We appreciate your feedback. The safety of our guests and staff are of great importance to us and we will be speaking with them on how to improve our operations. Again thank you and we are happy you enjoyed seeing the manta rays.

妹と二人で参加しました。最初、マンタは全く現れず、このまま終わったらどうしようと不安になりましたが、最後30分くらいでいっぱい集まってきて、かなり間近で見れました!!海に入る際にフロートを渡されたのですが、英語がよくわからず、回りの人をみてやっと理解。。一人参加で英語がわからないとちょっとツラいかもです。リーズナブルなツアーでも、マンタを見れたのでよかったですが、船の明かりでマンタを集める仕組みのようで、他の船の方がものすごく明るくてマンタもよく集まってるみたいでした。次回はそっち乗りたいかも。。

催行先が英語のみの対応なので、確認電話で苦労しました。当日はコナの桟橋からの出発でしたので、滞在先からすぐの場所でラクでした。グラスボートはあまり揺れがなく快適でしたが、あまり魚や海中の景色に変化が乏しかったので、正直途中で飽きてしまいました。スタッフの人はフレンドリーにいろいろ話しかけてくれて良かったです。
We are sorry for any difficultty you may have had with your reservation or directions. Kona has some of the clearest waters and abundance of fish in the state, but sometimes "Mother Nature" clouds the waters. We hope that you will join us again in the future.

We went on moonlight snorkeling tour and saw four manta rays, two quite big, they are so graceful dancing in the water below the light and passing inches from our bodies without touching us and without any fear. This experience is one to be remembered for the lifetime.
Said that, the service given is below expectations.
Let's start from pricing, no reduced price for the one that is not going off board snorkeling.
We arrived on time for the check in and the boat wasn't in the water yet, due to a problem with the truck. Maybe the info on the tour had been already given to the other participants, but nothing more for us. I recieved the wet suit, even though there was no locker room to change, only the marina restrooms.
Anyhow the boat went in the water just in time to go onboard, no gangboard, assuming people is used to jump on and off board.
We went quite fast to the point where manta rays are usually seen, there was already another boat from a different charter, we stood just aside them.
Gear provided by them, good quality, no water entered during all the visit.
Just few basic rules, do not dive, do not touch them, do not kick them, lay horizontally and stay attached to the plastic board, which hosts lights to attract plancton.
As said at the beginning, the experience is really wonderful and makes me almost forget the service part.
Returning onboard, just a minute to remove the wet suit, get dry, have a glass of hot soup and go back as fast as possible to the harbour.
A formal and quick goodbye and that's it.
Overall you cannot miss the mant rays snorkeling experience, but consider also other service providers with respect to this one.
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the manta rays. If we receive a review that is less than 5 stars, we seek out ways in which we can make improvements. In your case, the areas in which you wish to see improvement are beyond our control. You are correct in that there are no locker room facilities. Honokohau Marina is operated and maintained by the State of Hawaii, who instead chooses to provide the public restroom facilities. You are also correct in that there is not a gang plank that is used to get onboard our boat. Like other companies in the harbor we tie up close against the dock, allowing you to step directly onto the boat from the dock. We charge the same price for the people who choose not to go into the water simply because that person still takes up a seat. We are limited by the U.S. Coast Guard as to how many passengers we can carry. We do offer discounts to children, local residents, military personnel, and for those returning to do additional tours with us.

This submarine cruise was amazing!! The crew was so friendly and our guide was funny. It was obvious everyone loved their job. Our guide was obviously an experienced diver because he knew so much about all the various fish we saw and had lots of great stories involving the different fish/coral.
The visibility was amazing the day we went. I think I took almost 200 pictures. We were so surprised when we saw 2 shipwrecks on the cruise. Such a fun bonus!
My husband is very outdoorsy and was a little whiny about doing the submarine over an actual snorkel day cruise. He loved the submarine and thought it was so much fun. We will definitely do it again when we're back.

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.
