“Was een mooie ervaring. We werden bij ons hotel opgehaald door Adi. Vervolgens gingen we het bootje op met 4 anderen, mooie zonsopgang meegemaakt en dolfijnen gespot. De eerste plek waar we naartoe vaarde was het ontzettend druk. Rond de 65 andere boten waren aanwezig om dolfijnen te spotten. Wanneer er een dolfijn gespot werd racede iedereen erachteraan. Vond ik niet heel rekening houdend met de natuur. Vervolgens vaarde onze gids zelf naar een rustige spot en daar kwamen de dolfijnen ontzettend dichtbij ons bootje. Prachtig om te zien. Daarna hebben we gesnokeld en dat was ons favoriete moment, ontzettend veel vissen gespot. Daarna naar een prachtige waterval gereden en…”
