Schöne Segeltour
Bei unserer Tour war es ziemlich frisch, wenn man nicht unbedingt im Sommer unterwegs ist sollte man sich auf jeden Fall warm anziehen. ;-) Man fährt etwas über eine Stunde zu den Carvings. Der Captain hat sich viel mit den Passagieren unterhalten die weiter hinten saßen und sicher interessante Infos und Geschichten erzählt. Vorne hat man davon nichts mitbekommen, was für uns aber kein Problem war. Wir haben auch so einfach die Fahrt genossen. Man kann auch jederzeit auf dem Boot umhergehen und hätte sich so daher auch beim Captain dazugesellen können. Warme Getränke und Kekse kann man sich per Selbstbedienung unter Deck holen. Der Aufenthalt bei den Carvings war tatsächlich recht kurz, aber da natürlich auch noch andere Anbieter sowie Kajaks unterwegs sind die alle die Carvings sehen wollen kann sich da natürlich keiner stundenlang aufhalten. Für uns alles völlig in Ordnung.

Entspannte Seegeltour
Die 2,5-stündige Fahrt auf dem Seegelboot war sehr entspannt. Man fährt zu dem Steingemälde und wieder zurück. Bei der Tour um 10:30 gibt's Tee, Kakao oder Kaffee mit etwas Süßem.

100% eco 100% worth it
Es war eine sehr schöne Bootstour mit unserem Guide Chris. Ich kann sie jedem empfehlen. Vor allem habe ich mich für diese Company entschieden, weil sie die einzigen ohne Benzin oder Diesel sind. Sie haben einen Elektromotor. Beste!
