Mahalos

Aloha Tony, Just wanted to say big mahalos for a great day on the water. That was the best charter fishing trip I've ever taken. You and Max kicked ass and never stopped working for us out there. Too bad we couldn't nail an ono and get the "clean sweep", but that big spearfish, big mahimahi, and the ahis were definitely good for a day's worth of excitement. Plus, that big marlin hitting the 2 lines on the starboard side and then launching himself into the air was just awesome. Too bad he spit the hook, but we'll get 'em next time. Keep up the great work, and I'll see you soon.

Thanks again

Howdy from Canada! Just wanted to drop you a line (no pun intended) to say Thanks for the AWESOME day of fishing we had with you. You and your crew did a great job in putting us onto lot's of fish!!! You helped where you could, and showed patience when we screwed up. What a great bunch of guys!! I lost count somewhere between 60 and 70 Ahi and Aku combined, plus a good Mahi Mahi. There must have been close to 80 fish in all!! I will be telling everyone I know who might be going to Hawaii about your operation, and you can bet that when we come back, we will look you up for another day of fun. Thank you for a day we will never forget.

Thanks for everything!

Aloha to both the Royal Kona Luau and Bodyglove for providing such a wonderful time during our vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii. We did the AM snorkel and squeezed a nice afternoon nap in before the evening luau. Great value!

Up close and personal

If one wants to get up close and personal with the rainforest then this is the shore excursion for you...The ride us bumpy-as advertised. Our guide, Jack, was very informative and quite knowledgeable of the area and its local history. Overall, this was a very enjoyable tour. One made better with the great knowledge shared by our tour guide, Jack.

Aloha Oahu Ghost Tours!

My girlfriend and I took your Orbs of Oahu tour a few weeks ago. I have to tell you that we were expecting a good ghost tour, but nothing like what we saw! Of the eleven ghost tours that we've taken at various cities on the mainland, nothing even comes close to this! After our first stop, we weren't sure that we could continue we were so scared, but we're glad we did. Definitely worth every penny!

Excellent!

I have been on three ATV/dune buggy tours: 1) Kauai - very good, 2) Puerta Vallarta - very bad, 3) This one is EXCELLENT! The tour guides are very good and fun to be around. They made the tour very pleasing to be on; also relaxing. I am totally 100 plus satisfied.

Just wanted to thank you for a great day on the ocean. Cutty, Raina and Taka have a priceless Hawaiian memory and I have a freezer full of Mahi! Cutty (who is a chef) grilled some and topped it with homemade corn/black bean/yellow bell pepper salsa, a dollop of sriracha/mayo sauce, and nori-strip garnish -- it was the best fish I've ever eaten. No joke, even my kids asked for more (and they don't even like fish). Cutty was so happy, he went to Hana Paa and bought one of those yellow mahi flags, so he can frame it when he gets back to PA. And Taka began his lecture at UH by showing the pics of our Mahi! Which confused the audience, and amused me to no end. Yeah, we all had a great time and will never forget that day. Thanks again. Peace, Nate

Alii Nui Snorkel Sail

We want you to know that several weeks ago we booked a snorkeling cruise on the Alii Nui. It was our first trip to Maui and also our first time snorkeling. I was somewhat apprehensive so we visited the Maui Dive Shop and the gentleman there was so helpful and made us feel comfortable to just try it. What a trip! We were treated like royalty! The ladies on board helped us so much that we gained confidence immediately. This was one of the biggest thrills of my lifetime. We have told everyone we come in contact with about this luxury cruise. We would like to be able to come again with our family and book another cruise with you.

Thanks again!

Maui Dive Shop - Maui Dive Trips

Thank you Maui Dive Shop! I just wanted to drop you folks a thank you for all the great help and assistance in our successful diving vacation. Your dive instructor Matt at your Lahaina facility was great! He was very patient with my 13 year old son and was without a doubt the best instructor I have ever been associated with. Once again, thank you for your help and your incredible staff!

Mahalo!

Hawaii, Big Island

a wonderful experience!

Wow! What a trip! The shore spotter got us to a pod of whales very quickly--we saw two great breaches! We later saw a very young calf and mom on the surface. Your commentator was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about whale behavior in Kona and it was really a "class act"!
