“This was a good tour but some improvements could be made. For example our guide was very friendly and welcoming but talked way too much. It was very interesting but at the end we no more listened because he talked non stop. Also too much time spent at some places in volcanoes park (volcano house and echo crater) that could be used to do the whole chain of craters road until the sea arch. Would have appreciated a stop a volcanoes np entrance sign. Candy store, waterfall and gardens were nice stops. Enjoyed the local chips provided. Tour guide was easy to find at port and tour started on time.…”
