Super expérience

Super équipe, très professionnelle et qui donne beaucoup d'informations sur les mammifères marins. Nous n'avons vu que des dauphins, ce qui était déjà super, mais ils nous ont donné un voucher pour revenir gratuitement. Malheureusement, la seconde fois nous n,'avons pas vu de baleines mais plein de dauphins que l'on suivait avec le bateau. Super expérience dans l'ensemble, cependant nous avons trouvé que c'était un peu long.

Super

Equipe très sympathique et professionnelle ! Le bateau est très bien. Malheureusement nous n'avons pas vu de dauphins. Nous avons aperçu une baleine mais très rapidement. La balade en mer reste en elle même super avec les îles alentours juste magnifique.
