Incredibilmente favoloso! Una giornata all’insegna del divertimento, scoperta e relax! Il viaggio purtroppo è lungo, ma ne vale la pena! All’andata anche una sosta per la colazione al McDonald. Dopo il giro il centro tra negozi, ci si imbarca per l’avvistamento dei delfini che si sono avvicinati alla barca, come per salutarci: FAVOLOSO. Poi siamo scesi dalla barca per un po’ di snorkeling e ci siamo divertiti anche lì a guardare il fondale della barriera corallina. Dopo essere risaliti in barca, un ottimo aperitivo offerto dai responsabili della barca che sono stati veramente eccezionali in tutto! Esperienza da fare assolutamente. Enjoy

Der Bus hat uns leider erst nicht gefunden, doch als wir angerufen haben waren alle sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Uns wurde ein Uber geschickt, das uns zum Treffpunkt des Buses fuhr. Der Busfahrer war super nett, wir konnten noch die Schnorcheltour buchen, die absolut empfehlenswert ist! Insgesamt war es ein sehr schöner Tag mit holprigem Start.

The app was very easy to use and very helpful. I would recommend using this app to learn about the area and the sites to see.

We had so much fun. Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone

Lots of fun information for the long drive to Key Wedg!
