    Enthousiaste marien biologe Sophie wist ons veel te vertellen over de verschillende soorten walvissen en dolfijnen en totaal 3 soorten gezien, fantastisch! En de speedboot vonden we veel stabieler dan op het eerste gezicht leek, dus we zijn ook niet zeeziek geworden :) het eilandje van vila franca do campo is ook erg leuk om van dichtbij te zien.

    Wir haben Wale und Delfine gesehen. Leistung erfüllt. Darüber hinaus war die Fahrt mit dem "Speedboat" auch super und alleine für sich ein Erlebnis, auch wenn wir hinten saßen. Tolles Wetter und das Glück, tatsächlich die Meeresbewohner zu sehen, hat den Ausflug perfekt gemacht. Teleobjektiv empfohlen, obwohl auch mit dem Telefon akzeptabele Bilder zustande gekommen sind.

    Die Einleitung und Einweisung zum folgenden Programm war sehr gut gemacht. Die Guides und der Skipper waren super nett und freundlich und mit viel Spaß bei der Sache. Die "Ausfahrt" ging knapp 3 Stunden und hat viel Spaß gemacht. Gesehen haben wir viele Delphine sowie eine Walart. Desweiteren bekamen wir noch Wissenswertes über die örtliche Geologie erzählt. Sehr empfehlenswert ??
