hang10tiki thank you for the flowers. They are lovely. Mi casa es su casa if you want a quick trip.

=====================

The drive to Isaac Hale park was an adventure too.

When we came out of the jungle this was our view.

The ship is called Ohana and is new. The company is Kalapana Cultural Tours.

I tried to take a photo of all four of us but missed Dan so

I took one more to include him.

As soon as we started out we were joined by spinner dolphins. We even saw one jump out of the water and spin.

It is a long bumpy ride. We will end up around the point of land you see jutting out.

We got to see lava tubes along the way.

I liked watching the waves hit the lava cliff.

Here I liked seeing how the water at the base ran out of all the small lava holes.

While watching the waves pound the coast a rainbow appeared.

It got even better and then it was gone. A special moment in time.

We arrived at a red hot lava spot.

Polynesian Paddy had me take a photo of him with the hot spot and he did one for me.

Very interesting but nothing was moving.

The sun is setting and time for a view of lava flowing is running out. We head home at 6 PM.

Polynesian Paddy is checking this off his bucket list. He was so right to go at sunset rather than during the day.

Photos with the boat bouncing sometimes look like this photo.

At 6 PM the lava started to flow. The captain didn't head home. We all tipped him after the ride.

He stayed overtime 30 minutes and let us enjoy the run. I posted a video on my fb page.

The ride back in the dark was fast, bumpy and fun. Cheers, Wendy
