    Sehr nettes Team. Parken kostenlos am Hafen möglich. Wir hatten Glück und mehrere Sichtungen. Team hält ständig Ausschau nach weitern Tieren. Gerne wieder. Haben in unserer Urlaubswoche 3x bei verschiedenen Unternehmen gebucht - diese hier hat uns am besten gefallen.

    Superbe expérience ! Nous avons vu de nombreuses baleines pilotes et leurs petits, ainsi que des dauphins communs. L'équipe a été arrangeante pour nous trouver un nouveau créneau suite à la modification de l'heure de notre sortie dont nous n'avions pas eu la notification. Notre guide était très impliquée et nous a donné de nombreuses explications sur les espèces rencontrées et les comportements que nous observions.

    De werknemers zijn deskundig en vriendelijk. Met de boot hebben we grote afstanden afgelegd waardoor we veel walvissen hebben kunnen zien. Let wel op dat de ingang naar het bedrijf een afgesloten woonwijk lijkt, hier moet je wel heen! Je kunt gratis parkeren in de parkeergarage die dichtbij is.
