It was such a lovely and lively experience. Our guide Claud was just absolutely amazing and full of knowledge. They made us feel safe from the launch, while being in the water with the seals to us getting back safe on the beach. Highly recommend this experience.

Super Organisation. Es wird auf die Tiere geachtet das sie nicht gestresst sind. Anfassen ist nicht erlaubt was ich super fand! Da ich bei offenen Meer schon mal eine Panikattake hatte wurde auf mich geachtet. Als ich mich erschöpft fühlte bekam ich sofort eine Schwimmhilfe. Ich schwamm damit nur noch ober Wasser ohne zu schnorcheln was für mich komplett ausreichte. Die Robben kommen zum spielen, tauchen auf und unter, es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis und ich hab mich immer absolut sicher gefühlt!
