      Wir haben heute die Reise gemacht und es war wunderschön. Wir wurden pünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt (sogar überpünktlich) , essen und trinken war mehr als genug da und auch sehr lecker. Leider habe ich keine Seekuh gesehen aber dafür ein tolles Riff mit vielen verschiedenen Fischen & ein paar kleinere Rochen. Und 3-4 Schildkröten größere sowie kleinere. Habe es über WhatsApp gebucht und alles lief wie nach Plan, bezahlt wird erst an dem Tag wo es stattfindet vor Ort. Und der Preis ist mehr als gerechtfertigt. Super nette Schnorchel Guides sowie Fahrer. Sehr empfehlenswert!!!
