Incroyable

Une expérience incroyable ! Peu de monde sur le bateau, une équipe sympathique et qui nous ont apporté une mine d'informations. Nous en avons pris plein les yeux : des albatros qui volent autour du bateau, des cormorans, un lion de mer, des otaries et leurs bébés, et même des dauphins qui sont venus à notre rencontre ! Merci à l'équipe pour cette expérience inouïe !

Genial

Je conseille cette compagnie, le personnel est bienveillant très sympathique ! Nous pouvons voir pas mal d'espèces d'oiseaux et aussi des phoques, avec un peu de chances des pingouins et des dauphins aussi ! À faire sans hésitation

Magnifique 1 hour Wildlife cruise

Nous avons pu observer de près la faune sauvage et vu voler les Albatros. Des jumelles de bonnes qualité et une documentation en français étaient disponibles pour tous les passagers. Le personnel était très sympathique et malgré notre retard pour le bateau de 10h00, ils ont accepté de déplacer notre navigation à 11h30.
