Body Glove Whale Watch Cruise
Hawaii is one of the only places in the world where you can see Pacific Humpback whales in their natural habitat. Let Body Glove Cruises introduce you to these beautiful, peaceful mammals.
Humpback whales are among the largest animals on earth. Mature adults typically grow to more than 40 feet in length and can weigh up to 40 tons. Each year, Humpback whales swim over 3500 miles from Alaska to Hawaii, where they spend their winters mating and bearing their young. Peak whale watching season begins on December 15 and continues through March 31.
Humpback whales can be seen daily on this Whale Watch cruise during this time of year. Join Body Glove and set sail on this 3 hour afternoon whale watch from Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Sightings are guaranteed or your next trip is free!
Learn from the on-board naturalist as you encounter wild dolphins, endangered sea turtles, manta rays and other marine mammals while underway. And you'll be serenaded by the song of the Pacific Humpback, captured live with underwater hydrophone! |

Body Glove Whale Watch Cruise

This was a fun cruise. The naturalist was well informed and interesting and the crew went out of their way to insure that we saw whales and other sea life. The snacks were an unexpected treat as they weren't mentioned when we signed on for the cruise.I would take this cruise again. |

Our experience with the Body Glove Whale Watch Cruise was nothing short of wonderful. Not only because we had four whales to watch up close but the cleanliness of the boat, professional and friendly staff and just overall experience was top of the line.I highly recommend this cruise to anyone. |

Looking for Whales

The boat was awesome and the dude with the long hair was VERY informative about whales. The problem is that we did not get to see whales the day we went. We saw the tail of a whale from far but what was neat was that they offered to give everyone a second free trip to make up for not seeing whales. I thought that was awesome. |

Professional Experience

Although we didn't actually see a whale in mid-December, the experience was quite enjoyable. Body Glove offered a very professional staff including a trained naturalist who was very informative. The excursion was worth the fare to cruise along scenic Kona and to observe numerous dolphins.I would recommend this cruise. |

A top rate cruise

I highly recommend Body Glove Whale Watch Cruise! Within a short time we were tracking a female whale and calf! We spend most of the cruise hanging with the pair! Hey, and if you don't see whales, you get to try again for nothing -- I actually saw them honor the guarantee with a couple that joined our cruise! The snacks were wonderful and fresh! And there was a bartender to boot! Fun, fun, fun! |
