Get the chance to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles on this relaxing sailing trip up to 3 miles from the coast.

Das gesamte Team dieser Tour bestand aus Frauen. Diese waren sehr freundlich und kompetent . Wir haben total viele Delphine gesehen. Sie haben das Segelschiff eine ganze Weile begleitet . Das Schwimmen ist zwar ausgefallen, weil die Meeresbewohner wichtiger waren, aber das war total okay. Wir haben dem Trip genossen und wurden an Bord bestens versorgt. Die Getränke gab es umsonst dazu. Ein toller Service. Wir können diese Tour nur weiterempfehlen:-)

We had a great time on the sunset sailing tour. We’re very lucky to see a large pod of pilot whales which was spectacular. Followed by a nice dip in the sea and beautiful sunset. The staff were extremely friendly and on hand to serve drinks throughout the trip.
