Einzigartig
Wir haben zwei Flüge gemacht, da wir beim ersten Flug leider keine Wale oder Delfine entdecken konnten. Dafür haben wir eine schöne Aussicht über das Meer und die Küstenregion bekommen. Beim zweiten Flug konnten wir einen Pottwal entdecken. Da ich den Wal zuerst gesehen habe, hat mir der Pilot sogar ein Eis spendiert :D

Wunderbare Erfahrung
Perfekter Ablauf, Schulung und Flug. Der Pilot hat sein bestes gegeben. Wir haben Wale und Delphine gesehen.
Walter Steinkemper from Germany wrote on 30 November 2023
Mehr versprochen
Insgesamt war es kein Highlight. Wir haben keinen Wal gesichtet, aber das kann passieren, besonders wenn das Wetter keine Bedingungen bietet. Aber das ist Natur. Es gab aber wenigstens etliche Delfine zu sehen. Meiner Ansicht nach ist es nicht in Ordnung, einen 40 Minuten Flug anzupreisen und zu verkaufen, bei dem man dann aber schon nach 30 Minuten wieder am Boden ist.

Voll toll
Sehr gut, und auch 1 Wal gesehen!

Großartig
Das Whalewatching aus der Vogelperspektive war erfolgreich und grandios. Allerdings sollte man nicht unterschätzen, dass es ein turbulenter Flug ist :)
