“Notre guide qui est venus nous chercher à notre hôtel était adorable ! La balade en bateau était très jolie c’était super sympas par contre le temps de navigation est de même pas 2h alors qu’il y a marqué 3h30 sur l’annonce et le buffet au vue du prix n’était pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. De plus ils mettent couché du soleil et nous sommes rentrés bien avant le coucher du soleil. Vraiment très déçus sur ces points. Le concept est quand même tres sympas mais trop cher au vue de la prestation. La photo est la dernière que j’ai prise avant de quitter le navire! Qui témoigne…”

“Vi havde 2 timer til at spise k inden vi skulle videre til vandfaldet. 1 time eller 1 1/2 time havde været nok. Vi fik en speedbåd i stedet for en catamaram. Personligt synes jeg at han sejlede alt for stærkt. Ellers en super fint tur med noget godt mad.”

Bref rien à redire. Le capitaine a même fait un stop et un petit détour pour suivre les animaux qu’on a croisé ( dauphin, 2 raies et un banc de calamar: ils ont tenté d’en pêcher un mais pas de chance !)
