“Journée extraordinaire avec notre commandant Uriel et Miguel très attentionné. Une jolie promenade sur une mer calme avec un arrêt saut et baignade près d’une jolie plage. Le service boissons (alcoolisé et non alcoolisé) plutôt généreux et le repas simple, efficace et bon. Nous n’avons pas vu de dauphins mais nous ne venions pas pour cela, cependant Uriel et Miguel ont essayé de les chercher. Nos amis les cétacés se sont fait discrets, telle est la loi de la nature. Merci vraiment à Miguel pour ses sourires, sa joie et bonne humeur. L’équipe des 7 françaises !”

“Our guide, Sergio, was superb. He made a 2 hour tour very interesting. I do not know how much do the the tickets to enter the Museum cost, but I feel that 90 euros per person for groups of 10+ people are rather expensive. Anyway, Sergio made us feel it was worth it.”
