5.00It was a wonderful and very informative show. Our narrator, Mariana, did an excellent job of making the show very interesting. The whole presentation was perfect. Could not possibly ask for anything more. Bravo to the show producers.

3.00This activity could be better by explaining more about how volcanoes are formed. For the premium ticket, you get a balcony seat, a free drink from a selection of beers and wines and a sample of glass lava.
