Step back into time, about 1000 years ago, when Polynesians first arrived to the islands of Hawaii after traveling over 2000 miles!  These ancient people used currents, waves and stars as navigational tools.  Body Glove Cruises’ Big Island Dinner Cruise starts out from Kamakahonu Bay and brings you to travel past Pao ‘Umi Point, Ahu’ena Heiau, the Kuamo’o Battlefield, the House Slide, and much more as you journey towards Captain Cook’s Monument and Kealakekua Bay.

During the Body Glove Historical Dinner Cruise, you’ll be able to discover the rich history of the Hawaiian Islands.  Don’t be shocked if you learn that you or others in your tour group have ancestral ties with immigrants that followed Captain Cook to arrive on the islands in 1778!  If you’re not a history buff, you’ll still enjoy sitting back and relaxing while observing the gorgeous scenery during this Big Island Dinner Cruise.  You might even get the chance to see sea turtles, spinner dolphins, humpback whales (during whale season), and manta rays during this fantastic Big Island Sunset Cruise!
