Alle Erwartungen übertroffen

Ich hatte mir einiges erhofft zu sehen und zu erleben. Und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Unabhängig von der schönen Landschaft und See wurden wir stellenweise von einer Gruppe von 9 Hector Delfinen begleitet, hatten ein paar mal Gelbaugenpinguine beim schwimmenden Transport ihrer Abendverpflegung beobachten können und dann kreuzte noch ein seltenerer schwarz-brauner Albatross unseren Weg mit hoher Geschwindigkeit und knapp über den Segeln. Der Segelabschnitt auf der offenen See mit der ganzen Dynamik und dem Auf und Ab auf den Wellen war auch cool. Die Crew hat einen super gut begleitet, einen auch mit anpacken lassen (wer es wollte) und auch aufmerksamer als ein "Amateurmitsegler" die Sachen gesehen und einen Bescheid gegeben. Alles im allen Top Tour!

Sehr familienfreundlich

Dieser Trip war einfach wunderbar. Die gesamte Crew hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben, dass sich alle an Board wohl fühlen. Wir waren mit zwei Erwachsenen und drei Kindern dort. Es war super. Sie haben sich auch bemüht, dass es den kindern gut geht und dass alle Delphine sehen können. Wenn wir uns freuten, dann freuten sie sich einfach mit. Perfekt!!!
