Amazing experience, the staff of this company are incredible, super nice people. It was a really blessing morning, we got to observe some dolphins on the sea and the snorkeling was also fantastic, really beautiful area with a lot of sea life to observe and admire.

Wir können den Bootstrip nur empfehlen! Ein super Team, welches sich sehr große Mühe gibt, damit die Gäste eine schöne Zeit haben. Auch die Länge von 3,5 h empfanden wir als ideal, da genug Zeit zum beobachten von Delfinen ist, aber auch Zwischenstops zum Schnorcheln und entspannen eingelegt werden können. Vielen Dank an das Team!

Super lockeres freundliches Team! Das Team gab nicht auf bis wir diese unfassbar schönen Wesen sehen konnten! Es war wundervoll, wir hatten das Glück das einer von den Delphinen ein Kunststück vorgeführt hat :) sehr zu empfehlen! Die Gesellschaft war ebenfalls toll!
