Toller Segeltrip

Sympathisches Team, entspannter Segeltrip mit Mittagspause auf wunderschöner Insel. Super Verpflegung mit vielen leckeren Snacks und Möglichkeit zu schnorcheln. Haben Delfine und Pinguine gesehen.

Wundervoller Tag

Wir können den Ausflug unbedingt weiterempfehlen! Das Boot ist sehr gepflegt und sauber. Mike und seine Mitarbeiterin waren lustig, überaus freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Die Snacks waren alle frisch und mit Liebe zubereitet. Das Sandwich zum lunch war ebenfalls sehr lecker. Der Zwischenstopp auf der Insel war ein Traum! Paradiesisch und wunderbar zum Schnorcheln. Ein rundum gelungener Tag :)

Ein absolutes Highlight meiner NZ-Reise

Der Segeltrip war ein absoluter Traum! Skipper Mike und Pip waren unglaublich hilfsbereit und haben viele Informationen gegeben. Der Stop am Strand war wunderschön und die Aussicht vom Berg wirklich empfehlenswert! Danach gab es leckeres Mittagessen, bevor der Heimweg angetreten wurde. Während der ganzen Fahrt konnten wir viel Wildlife entdecken, was für mich das absolute Highlight der Tour war.

Super Abenteuer!

Wir haben am 14.12 den Segelausflug gebucht und es war das beste Erlebnis auf unserer Neuseelandrundreise! Schon der Beginn auf dem Boot war super, es gab immer wieder kleine Snacks und man konnte entspannt in der Sonne auf dem Deck liegen und die Aussicht genießen. An der kleinen Insel angekommen hatte man Zeit einen Walk mit super Aussicht zu machen und in der Bucht schwimmen zu gehen. Das Wasser ist richtig klar und war auch beim Schwimmen aushaltbar von der Kälte her. Das Beste an dem Tag war jedoch das in der Bucht 4 Delphine geschwommen sind, die es genossen haben von uns beobachtet zu werden. Wir hatten vom Boot Schnorchelausrüstung und konnten so mit den Delphinen schwimmen gehen! Ich kann den Ausflug jedem empfehlen auch wenn mal keine Delphine in der Bucht sind ist es ein super Erlebnis!

Hi Franzi That was an awesome day. That same group of dolphins have joined swimmers in that bay before and although not often when it does happen it is completely wonderful and natural! All the best Mike
