Eine tolle Erfshrung
Wir hatten einen windigen Tag - trotzdem haben wir uns sehr sicher gefühlt . Die Skipper haben sich sehr persönlich mit allen unterhalten und hatten einen guten Instinkt wo wir Tiere sehen würden. Unermüdlich wurde Ausschau gehalten und berichtet . die Tour ist sehr zu empfehlen

Die beste Tour unserer Reise!
Die Tour war wie der Name verspricht: Coast up close! Wir sind weit in die Vulkan-Landschaft gefahren, haben die Höhlen und Felswände bewundern können und die Tierwelt der Halbinsel so erlebt, wie es sein sollte: ohne Zwang. Wir haben Pinguine, Robben und Delfine ganz nah erlebt. Tony hat uns mit Geschichten aus der Gegend und seinem Leben dazu auch noch fühlen lassen, als wären wir einfach Freunde auf seinem Boot und nicht nur einfach Touristen.
