Summary:
Kay and Cam did a great job making this boat trip wonderful. We booked the sunset time to remember a loved one that had passed. They did a great job communicating with us in advance so we could craft our own evening. They allowed us to play our own music and did a great job documenting the evening with both the GoPro and still photos. (an added bonus we hadn't even planned on!) Their love and knowledge of the ocean and its inhabitants is inspiring and we found dolphins twice, even though that wasn't the goal of the trip. Next time we are in Kona, we will definitely look them up for a "normal" ocean outing.
