    Fantastic Heb deze trip het laatste jaar al 4 x gedaan. Telkens met andere vrienden. Altijd heel leuke beleving. Altijd verschillende vissen gezien, dolfijnen, walvissen, schildpadden. De crew Letty en Fabricio zijn héél professioneel, heel vriendelijk en gedienstig…. Heel gezellige sfeer. De boot is ook super mooi, en wat voor mij een heel groot pluspunt is…. Max 12 personen. Heel aangenaam om zoveel ruimte te hebben. Echte aanrader 👍🏻👍🏻!

    Absolutely amazing Staff It's was absolutely amazing. The boat hat around 12 people on we first we Set off from the docks where we met our host, Fabrizio he was amazing explaining everything to us in detail we were lucky to see some dolphins and by the end of the trip you get a meal that mostly concludes of amazingly seasoned chicken thigh, Veggie rice and Roat potato. After that me and my brothers got out the boat and went for a small swim (recommend wearing shorts/swimming costume under your clothes) Life Jackets are provided for the little ones. All and all an amazing experience, my first time on a boat and definitely not my last !
