    Alles top, auch wenn wir keine Delfine oder Wale gesehen haben. Die Guids supernett. Eine entspannte Fahrt mit toller Sicht auf Madeira.

    Petite virée sympathique avec un personnel agréable et disponible. Nous avons pu observer de nombreux dauphins et au loin une baleine par chance. Par contre, pas de snorkelling comme inscrit au programme avec des masques mais seulement une petite baignade de 15 minute dans une baie.

    Crew were very knowledgeable. Pleased the yacht stopped away from the dolphins. They came to the boat would have liked a bit longer there but understand with boats departing often you limit the time of each

    Die Tour war ein voller Erfolg. Trotz mehrerer Hinweise, dass es keine Garantie gibt, Lebewesen auf offener See zu entdecken, hatten wir Glück und konnten viele Pilotwale entdecken. Die Guides standen mit anderen Booten in Kontakt, um uns so sicher wie möglich dieses Erlebnis zu ermöglichen. Sie waren alle super freundlich, haben uns die gesamte Zeit mit Getränken versorgt und viel gute Laune verbreitet. Man konnte danach noch vorm Cabo Girao noch ins Wasser springen - alles perfekt! :)
