It was truly breathtaking. The captain and the guide were very kind and gave all instructions. The guide even called my phone before the boat left the harbor just to make sure we were coming. The first stop is the volcano hill climb which was amazing and beautiful. So many beautiful sights, it was truly one of a kind. 2nd stop was the hotsprings, It really was warm hotub feeling once you swim over, the boat can only get so close. Hightly recommend.

a little confusing with the instructions in the email. instructions noted to drop off and pickup at the same location. wasn't sure if price paid was for round trip or one way. i assumed one way so i booked transfer to and from airport separately.

The driver was right outside the airport holding a board with my name, also helped me with my luggage. Very good service

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

Well organised and reasonably priced, would recommend.
