Had a great weather day & boat ride… unfortunately we didn’t see any wildlife but we’re offered a free rain check next time we return.

I was pretty disappointed. This was much more of a passive whale watching trip than I expected. We really didn't leave the local area to go find the whales, but waited for whales to come to us, which limited how many whales we saw. The crew was great otherwise, very friendly. Our naturalist was very knowledgeable.

Great experience with friendly staff.. we saw four humpbacks and the captain let us stay a little longer to see them because we found them at the end of trip.

This was a great whale watching tour - the crew were the first to spot any whales and the skipper then positioned the boat to get a good view. The highlight was watching a juvenile breach in front of us - awesome!

The crew aboard The Body Glove whale watching boat was fantastic. After checking in on the pier, we boarded the boat (folks move between upper and lower decks). Lower deck gets you vlose up shots and upper deck gets you distance viewing. Mayara (bartender) was welcoming and gracious. My family watched 2 pairs of mothers and calves just offshore. It was fantastic!

The crew was fantastic and very informative. We watched a calf with the mother ( humpback whale) for hours, and took some excellent pictures. The crew took great care of us and I highly recommend this excursion. We took this tour from a Princess Cruise ship. Loved it!!!

Our whale watching excursion with Body Glove was great! Our family enjoyed the wonderful snacks and drinks and were amazed at the beautiful whale we saw multiple times. The staff were very friendly and we would recommend this trip to anyone who has the opportunity to take it.

Had a great time, crew very friendly. Got to see about three whales and they came close to the boat! Definitely worth it!!!

Guide wasn’t knowledgeable and her voice was the most high pitched voice that made it hard to focus. The captain didn’t seem at all interested in getting on the whales. We followed it from a half a mile away and seemed to think just seeing blowhole air was enough. All other boats went ahead and waited for whales to come to them. Body Glove is a better dinner cruise or snorkeling boat.
