Magical colored fish surrounded our boat as we got into the water...

This is the boat for the person who wants the opportunity to see 2 distinct snorkel spots, use sea rockets to navigate around, and looks for some amazing wildlife. On our recent adventure, we headed down south and along the way we had some exciting stops where we saw a group of Hammerhead sharks that we migrating.
Magical colored fish surrounded our boat as we got into the water, and one of the sights was an area where lava had once flowed over the edge of the island, and it is now a spot where you can see the coral that has grown on top of the black sand, we found it to be a favorite spot for turtles!
On the return trip we did more wildlife spotting, enjoying more dolphins, another group of hammerheads, and a group of curious pilot whales, with a white tip reef shark swimming around them. Very exciting day on the water!
This would be a good option for a person that was not that interested in snorkeling as well.
