I just have to say that we went with Capt. Shane on the big boat a couple of weeks ago, knowing that it could be a dangerous ride, but came back in complete and total awe of Madam Pele. It was the most thrilling 3 hours of my life and I'm so glad I was able to take some video that I will treasure for years to come.
I can't imagine anyone having any other reaction to this trip, unless you were one of the two-out-of-fourteen who were seasick[] He did launch the big boat, loaded with all passengers on board, right from Pohoiki and then pulled the boat right out of the water after the trip, still with passengers aboard, which made it very easy.
So if you care to take a chance for the thrill of a lifetime, give it a shot. I know we will go again if we have a chance.
