André est efficace pour voir un max sur la journée Nous avons apprécié et appris aussi en sa compagnie Ce qui nous aura manqué est la fenêtre météo pour voir les paysages les lacs des volcans mais cela André n’y peut rien

We went to many different view points as well as the hot springs and pineapple plantation and got to learn the history of the island through the tour guide who was very informative and very friendly. In the day we were allowed free time to explore. Even the drive around the island was beautiful. Definitely recommend.
