This was absolutely amazing. The hotel pick up and drop off is great cause you don’t have to worry about extra transport. The staff on the boat were so nice, the food was great and the overall energy was perfect. There were plenty of opportunities to get in the water (I didn’t do that but watched others enjoy their time in the water). As a solo traveller, I really enjoyed being able to connect with others but also have plenty of space and time to enjoy the views and scenario alone. I highly recommend this experience. 10/10

Great afternoon! The Captain & first mate were full of information & entertaining. The lunch was way beyond expectations. We really enjoyed the afternoon!

Nice trip to explore the volcanic mountain and swim in the sea. Beautiful views, really enjoyed it.
