Super nette Tour mit der Ribeira Brava. Wir haben Schnabelwale und eine riesige Gruppe Großer Tümmler gesehen. Sehr nette Crew, gute Erklärungen und Informationen.
Leider haben wir keine Wale gesehen, die Fahrt mit dem traditionellen Boot war dennoch ein schönes Erlebnis. Unser Host Horst war sehr freundlich und hat uns viele interessante Einblicke zu Flora und Fauna gegeben. Von daher in Summe sehr zu empfehlen. Als Trost gab es zum Schluss noch einen Gutschein für die nächste Tour.
Sehr schöne Tour, Biologin mit an Bord. Leider gab es nur einen Wal in großer Entfernung zu sehen, aber das ist immer etwas Glücksache. Wegen des Wellengangs wurden einige seekrank. Wir empfehlen, vorab ein Medikament dagegen zu nehmen. Wir würden die Tour wieder machen, schon wegen der großartigen Ausblicke auf die Küste!
