About Body Glove Cruises - Captain Cook Historical Dinner Cruise
Cruise the Kona coast with Body Glove Cruises on a Captain Cook Historical Dinner Cruise featuring ocean views, dinner, sunset scenery and Big Island history.
You depart the Kailua-Kona Pier and trace the Kona Coast for twelve scenic miles toward Kealakekua Bay, a protected marine sanctuary watched over by the Captain Cook Monument. An onboard historian points out more than fifty cultural and geological landmarks while you relax at a table set for an island-inspired dinner.
As you cruise, live musicians provide a gentle soundtrack. Sunlight fades behind the coastline on the return trip, turning the sky into a sunset show that pairs perfectly with one last Kona breeze and your included cocktail.
