During a Norwegian Cruise Line excursion, Chance was our bus driver and tour guide with Polynesian Adventures. He went above and beyond with details and stories of the Kilauea Volcano, lava walk tour, National Parks shops and a scrumptious lunch at a winery. He found unique gift shop shops and the Big Island Candy Company. There he recommended the chocolate covered squid….don’t waste your money on that, but he was right on with every thing else. Thank you Chance.
