Statt dem abgebildeten Boot mit bewegungsfreiheit und Möglichkeit,war ein kleiners Boot im Einsatz mit harten Sitzschalen und wenig Beinfreiheit. 32 Personen in Flugzeugbestuhlung. 3 Std beengtes Sitzen. "Es werden Snacks und Erfrischungen gerreicht" => 2 Kekse und eine Becher Pepsi, die Flasche war aber bei mir bereits leer ..... Ok wir haben eine grosse Familie Grindwale ( Delphine) gesehen, die mehr oder weniger schlapp neben dem Boot schwammen. Nach ca 15 min zurück an die Küste.

Der Kapitän war bei der Einschiffung nicht freundlich bis unhöflich weil er nicht zurückgegrüßt hat, obwohl wir Spanisch sprechen und wir face to face voreinander gestanden sind. Danach auf dem Boot war er freundlicher.

A superb day. We saw lots of whales. The staff were excellent. The snacks were tasty. The swimming stop good but a bit of a nightmare for some people getting back on the boat because of the swell. TUI provided reminders. Well worth it, though it might have been cheaper booking it here. All in all very pleased.

Interessante Hintergründe zu den Walen und dem Fischvorkommen an dieser Stelle. Wir haben sehr viele Grundwale gesehen. Das Team ging sehr umsichtig und rücksichtsvoll mit den Tieren um. Es war ausreichend Zeit. Auch der Badestop war schön. Insgesamt hat der Ausflug gute drei Stunden gedauert.

Wie auch per Mail mitgeteilt: Die nächsten Touristen würden sich sicherlich freuen, wenn bereits vor der Buchung ersichtlich ist, dass ein Badestopp eingelegt und Badekleidung benötigt wird. Zudem ist die Tour auf Englisch und nicht wie angegeben auf Deutsch.

Sehr nettes Team. Wir hatten auch Glück und konnten Wale, Delfine und fliegende Fische beobachten… Dazu gab es von dem Guide ausführliche Informationen, welche sehr interessant waren.. Der Badestop war auch erfrischend. Für die Kinder standen genügend Schwimmwesten zur Verfügung. Der angebotene Snack hier war gut gemeint. Insgesamt eine lohnende Ausfahrt.

The tour was great. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Fabulous to see the dolphins but no pilot whale’s unfortunately. Downside- booked through tui app 3 days in advance but excursion operators had not received booking. The boat was overbooked with no record of my booking. Luckily the boat captain let me and my husband on to the tour.

Die Waltour war ein tolles Erlebnis, allerdings hatten wir extra die Tour auf Deutsch gebucht und leider wurde kein einziges Wort in Deutsch gesprochen, so das einige Gäste, die Englisch nicht verstanden haben, auch kaum etwas Wissenswertes aus der Tour mitnehmen konnten, als nur die Wale gesehen zu haben. Als wir Wale gesichtet haben, sind wir sehr lange vor Ort geblieben, konnten die Tiere beobachten und ausreichend Fotos machen, sehr schöne Tour, wenn die Sprache auch auf Deutsch gewesen wäre

The boat was good and the staff friendly and informative. Snacks and drinks provided were also good. Unfortunately the sea on the day of our trip was rough and the experience curtailed at Valle Gran Rey and we were bussed back to Playa de Santiago. We didn't manage to see any whales or dolphins either, only a flying fish. The staff apologized for the sea state but it was beyond their control. If they had known/expected the sea to become so rough then perhaps the trip would not have taken place?

Lähdimme matkaan Playa de Santiago satamasta. Hetken matkattuamme kapteeni totesi, että merenkäynti on hieman liian kovaa eikä enää turvallista. Meidät vietiin lähimpään satamaan Valle Gran Reyn satamaan josta meidät kuljettiin bussilla takaisin. Emme nähneet muuta kuin kovaa merenkäynti 2 tuntia. Emme päässeet lähellekään alueita joissa olisi voinut nähdä valaita tai delfiinejä.

Täglicher Wechsel der Handtücher und Auffüllen der Minibar. Die Koffer wurden ins Zimmer gebracht und bei der Abreise auch abgeholt. Es ist eine sehr schöne Ferienanlage. Wenn man einen ruhigen Urlaub genießen möchte und gerne wandert, ist man sehr gut aufgehoben. Wir waren außerhalb der Schulferien dort.
