Accueil non chaleureux…tourisme de masse. Pas de chance car il a plu le matin, ce qui n’a pas aidé. Bateau peu confortable.On avait demandé à faire une plongée plutôt que du snorkling ce qui a été possible (plutôt bien). Par contre,aucun contrôle des niveaux de plongée. Des débutants sans aucune expérience dans le même groupe que des plongeurs confirmés. Un seul guide pour gérer ce petit monde. Nous avons eu la chance de voir des dauphins. Conclusion: Manque de sérieux même si le guide de palanquée est très gentil.

Toller Ausflug mit altem Segelboot und super netten Mannschaften zu einem Riff mit vielen bunten Fischen und Delphinen. Für das absterben des Korallenriffe kann der Veranstalter nichts, fraglich warum man deswegen Punkte abgezogen bekommt. Man kann trotzdem viel sehen und der Ausflug lohnt sich.
Zu Beginn der Fahrt gab es Kaffee, Tee und Kekse. Während der ganzen Fahrt konnte man Wasser und Softdrinks trinken, nach dem Schnorcheln gab es eine Frucht gegen den salzigen Geschmack. Das spätere Mittag würde auch super toll präsentiert und war super lecker.
Bitte nehmt euch Wasserschuhe oder anderes im Wasser tragbares Schuhwerk mit, da es auf dem Weg zum Mittag einige Seeigel zum überqueren gibt.

A wonderful day out and good experience despite the rainy weather in the morning. Spotted a few dolphins, saw quite a few fish on the reef, lucky to see a turtle while snorkeling as well. Weather picked up in the afternoon which made for gorgeous views from Wasini Island. Lunch was good. Staff and crew were super friendly and helpful. We also stopped at the Shimoni caves,it's an approx 15 min tour and good to see.
