Tripulação impecável, com experiência e muita simpatia. Almoço com frango e arroz mas bem confeccionado. Recebidos à entrada com uma pequena prova de vinho da madeira. O desembarque nas desertas foi espetacular com pequeno passeio pela ilha sempre acompanhados a explicarem o que estávamos a ver. Vimos golfinhos e baleias e a tripulação parou o barco para que pudéssemos apreciar o momento.
El viaje fue fenomenal, no fuimos cargados de gente a diferencia de otros tours, los capitanes eran muy simpáticos. También quiero destacar que la comida fue cocinada insitu y estaba deliciosa. La isla es preciosa pero el tiempo de baño es muy limitado. Es una experiencia diferente, puedes conocer una isla muy particular. Sin duda lo recomiendo.
