“As a photo nerd, the light was perfect on the carvings. The quiet electric boat gave me actual peace to shoot. Guides were great at recounting cultural meanings and volcanic backstory.”

“Die Fahrt zu den Zeichnungen war sehr entspannten und die Aussicht vom Boot aus war beeindruckend. Die Felszeichnungen selber waren sehr schön, man konnte alles sehr gut erkennen da man mit dem Boot recht nahe hinfahren konnte.”
