1 Potwal und 1 Delphinschule
Unterhaltsam - professionelle Crew - zu teuer

Faszinierend
Sehr angenehme, lockere Crew. Wir haben insgesamt vier Waale gesehen und sehr viele Seelöwen. Es ist auf jeden Fall das Geld wert.

Flexibel und kompetent
Tour musste am gebuchten Tag aufgrund zu hoher Wellen abgesagt werden, die Information kam schnell und ein Umbuchen auf den nächsten Tag war unkompliziert möglich. Vor Ort ausreichend kostenlose Parkplätze, das Boot machte einen sehr guten und modernen Eindruck. Während der Fahrt wurden zahlreiche interessante Informationen kompetent präsentiert solange man unter Deck war. Auf Deck wurde nach den Walen Ausschau gehalten, Pottwal und Blauwal konnten wir ausgiebig beobachten. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis durchaus angemessen. Man muss sich aber im Klaren sein: Es kann sein, dass sich nur eine Walart blicken lässt, eine längere Ausfahrt würden viele an Bord aber nicht verkraften, die Spucktüten fanden regen Gebrauch ;-) Auch sieht man die Wale nur teilweise aus dem Wasser ragen, vom Flugzeug aus sieht man wohl mehr.
