Esperienza meravigliosa fatta all'alba. Ci siamo ritrovati al porto per un breef iniziale sull'escursione. Durante questo momento ci e stata gentilmente offerta una colazione composta da caffe e muffins fatti in casa molto buoni. Il personale e stato gentile e presente sempre. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di aver visto tantissimi delfini. Balene grandi insieme ai loro cuccioli. Infine siamo riuciti anche a vedere vari salti di una piccola balena. E' stato bellissimo.

????? An Unforgettable Whale Watching Experience! What an absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. The crew were outstanding --- friendly, patient, professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They treated every guest with warmth and respect, took the time to explain what we were seeing, answered questions, and made sure everyone on board had the best possible experience. The whale watching itself was incredible and truly unforgettable, but what made the trip even more special was the people behind it. Everything felt well organized and safe, yet relaxed and enjoyable at the same time. You could really feel that the crew cared not only about their guests, but also about the whales and the marine environment. A huge thank you to the entire team for your professionalism, kindness, positive energy, and wonderful hospitality. You turned a beautiful encounter with nature into a memory we will carry with us for a very long time. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area , an experience not to be missed! ?????
