About Body Glove - Deluxe Snorkel & Dolphin Watch
Cruise the Kona coast with Body Glove on a deluxe snorkel and dolphin watch featuring reef scenery, marine life, ocean views and Big Island shoreline scenery.
You step aboard a spacious state-of-the-art catamaran and cruise south along the Kona Coast toward the protected marine sanctuary of Red Hill. Accessible only by boat, this stretch of clear water shelters more than 600 species of tropical fish, vibrant coral gardens and, if luck is on your side, pods of playful dolphins or a cruising green sea turtle.
After a relaxed safety briefing and snorkel lesson from the lifeguard-trained crew, you slip into the warm Pacific for two unhurried hours of underwater exploration. Back on deck, rinse off under a freshwater shower, launch yourself down the twenty-foot inflatable slide, or simply soak up the sun while island music drifts across the deck.
