Good expérience

Vraiment relaxant, une expérience calme est reposante. Le voilier est suffisamment grand pour accueillir les 22 acteurs de l’aventure. L’équipage est au top, vraiment au top ! Les expériences de snorkelling et Beach sont vraiment cool et les délais pour en profiter sont impeccable. Le vent sur le bateau n’est pas des plus agréable mais la soirée sur le pont reste positive.

Décevant !!!

Déçu par la prestation, nous devions faire au minimum 3 spots on en a fait juste 2 en 20min et nous sommes rentrés 2h avant. Le plus négligeable c’est que quand tu es capitaine avec de l’experience tu devrait connaitre un peu la météo !!! Et la on embarque le samedi car il fait beau, pas grand soleil je précise. Le samedi soir à la fin du repas une tempête se lève obligé de passer le reste du séjour dans la cale du bateau.. je vous passe les détails de personne malade et des odeurs.. bref, très déçu par cette prestation, personne n’a enjoy ce cruise !!!!

Inmanquable

Une expérience inoubliable ! C'était mon dernier tour en Australie et c'était réellement le Highlight de mon séjour. Un crew au top! La nourriture au top, des arrêts snorkeling réfléchis pour la sécurité et la beauté ! Et whitehaven beach... Magique ! En plus on a 3h sur l'île donc le temps de bien profiter. Le soir, rester sur le ponton et admirer le coucher du soleil et lever de la lune. Le matin se lever à 5h30 et admirer le coucher de la lune et le lever du soleil... Foncez !
