Good trip

It was a good trip. Good food and drink. Historical information was great to hear. Staff was great and very attentive. All was good. Change the flags, American and Hawaiian, they’re both pretty tattered. Mahalo

Wonderful experience, and priced right comparatively!

This cruise was so much fun! The dinner was really good and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The view of the sunset was amazing. We saw some Pilot Whales, and flying fish. They actually fly! OMG, if you have long hair, be sure to pull it back because it is very windy, and it is difficult to eat with hair in your mouth. But, honestly, our hair made for some hilarious pics. Highly recommend!

What a Wonderful, Fun and Entertaining Evening!!!!!

We highly recommend this amazing Body Glove Sunset Dinner cruise to anyone coming to the Big Island! The crew on the Body Glove were attentive, kind and entertaining. The food was was excellent - we had salad first, then beef, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. The dessert was a chocolate moose pie, which was scrumptious!! The entertainer was superb - excellent voice and very engaging with the audience. Many people were dancing to his wonderful music. The historian gave us much interesting information about the islands and the Hawaiian people. The evening was only made better by the incredible sunset that we saw. Thanks to the amazing Body Glove crew and captain for giving us another FABULOUS evening. We'll be back again,

Awesome Experience

This was such an awesome experience. I would do it every night if possible. The crew was awesome. They made sure you had everything you wanted or needed. The food was delicious. Cooked perfect and so so good. The music was awesome. The history telling about the landmarks we were passing was so informational. I loved to hear about the reasons for everything that happened and was done. A definite cruise to do again.
