Het was een hele ervaring! Leuk om mee te maken. Mooie bestemmingen om te snorkelen. Eveneens dolfijnen gezien. Maar als er dolfijnen gespot worden vliegen al de boten die in de buurt zijn er tegelijk op af, iedereen schreeuwt tegen elkaar als benanning, heel erg onrustig allemaal. En de mensen staan met snorkel op achter op de boot klaar om in het water te springen om ze aan te raken en er idioot op af te zwemmen. Wij hebben ze mooi vanaf de boot bekeken. Laat de habitat van deze beestjes wel in hun waarde. Maar ik snap het wel. Als iedereen het doet moet je mee. Maar is totaal niet nodig om een mooie ervaring te beleven. Verder super goed geregeld. Prima eten en een mooie fotowerk gekocht. Die was niet goedkoop, maar je kunt nog wat afdingen en hoeft zelf niks te filmen of te fotograferen. En ze moeten ook wat verdienen natuurlijk. Vergeet niet de taxi chauffeur een tip te geven, die zal je heel dankbaar zijn!!
