Nadine – GermanyFebruary 15, 2024  – Verified booking
Es war ganz toll. Die Schnorcheltour ist ein Muss, weil es sehr schön dort ist und dadurch echt ein absolutes Highlight. Die Bootfahrt dorthin dauert allerdings recht lang und kann je nach Wellengang extrem holprig werden. Auf der Hinfahrt haben wir an einem Delphin-Spot gehalten. Wir konnten dort einige Delphine sehen. Die Rückfahrt war sehr anstrengend, da es sehr windig war und es dementsprechend viele Wellen gab. Die Rückfahrt dauerte fast 2 Stunden. Sonntag war alles sehr gut organisiert und auch die Spots und die zur Verfügung gestellten Mahlzeiten und Getränke üppig. Schnorchel am besten selbst mitbringen.

Très bonne organisation de l’activité. Du matériel de plongée à disposition et un déjeuner copieux et de qualité. Il y a des boissons fraîches à disposition. Nous avons vu des dauphins et des tortues. Il faut compter 50 min en bateau pour arriver à destination. Puis 2 baignades. Beaucoup de jolis poissons et de coraux. N’hésitez pas à faire un tour sur l’île et à prendre de la hauteur pour voir le paysage. Les personnes en charge de l’activité (chauffeur, capitaine..) sont très professionnelles. Bref, n’hésitez pas à faire cette activité (accessible aux enfants)
