Romane

I recently had the pleasure of taking part in the whale watching boat trip and it was a great experience! The boat itself was the perfect size - not too crowded, which made the trip comfortable and enjoyable. We had plenty of space to move around and get great views of the whales. The guides on board were very friendly and easy to talk to, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Their enthusiasm and passion for marine life was evident, and they shared a wealth of information about the whales and the surrounding ecosystem. All in all, it was a wonderful trip!
