  • Uns (2 Erw. +2 Kinder 13+17) hat es meeeega Spaß gemacht. Die Abholung in Makadi war pünktlich und an der Marina hat der Fahrer uns zum Abfahrtspunkt begleitet. Dann kam ein Schnellboot für 4 Personen und brachte uns zum Parasailing, diese Fahrt war so schnell, wir sind immer von unserem Sitz abgehoben und hatten total Spaß. Auf dem Boot mussten wir dann auf unseren Flug warten, es wurden immer wieder Personen, die bereits geflogen sind abgeholt und neue gebracht. Der Flug war soooooo toll, man konnte zu zweit oder alleine fliegen! Danach ging es für uns zum Sofa Boot, das ist sooooo schnell und hat meeeega Spaß gemacht, ich hab so viel Wasser beim Lachen geschluckt 😅 danach noch banana Boot und zurück zur Marina, wo der Fahrer schon auf uns wartete. Es war wirklich der perfekte Ausflug
