Organisation et accueil au top

Le vrai plus de cette croisière a été l'équipage qui a partagé ave nous son amour des lieux et de la nature : approche en douceur des cascades et des otaries, du temps pour observer les dauphins, etc. De point de vue pratique, depuis la réservation jusqu'à la montée sur le bateau, tout a été très simple.

Superbe

Nous sommes partis pour une petite croisière de deux heures environ. Nous avons pu prendre de magnifiques photos . Le personnel à bord est très accueillant et vient parmi nous pour discuter et nous raconter quelques anecdotes. C’était un vrai moment de détente et de découverte.

Awesome

Endroit magnifique, les petits bateau permettent de s'approcher des côtes. Peu nombreux nous pouvions facilement nous déplacer pour observer les dauphins, cascades et montagnes.
