Der Ausflug war einfach super und ist absolut empfehlenswert! 🐬 Wir haben zuerst Delfine beobachtet und dabei sogar mehrere Delfingruppen gesehen. Anschließend ging es zu zwei Riffs zum schnorcheln, wo wir die wunderschönen Korallen und Fische 🐟 bestaunen konnten. Es hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht! Zwischendrin gab es auch kleines Mittagessen was absolut ausreichend war. Insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis, mit gut gelaunt er Schiffscrew, dass ich jedem nur empfehlen kann!
