Awesome

Unser Flug startete 15 Minuten früher als geplant wodurch wir sogar 45 Minuten fliegen durften. Alles in allem kann ich sowohl die Wale, Delfine und die Landschaft als auch der Flug an sich sehr empfehlen! Das Geld lohnt sich in jeder Hinsicht! 100%!Einzigartige Erfahrung!!!

Toller Flug aber kein Wal

Leider konnten wir auf Grund des Wetters keine Wale entdecken. Dafür konnten wir viele Delphine sehen und es war ein toller Ausblick...und eine schöne Erfahrung

Tolles Erlebnis

Der Pilot war sehr nett und hat uns über die Sicherheitsvorkehrungen aufgeklärt. Auch erzählte er uns etwas über die Wale, welche bisher am meisten gesichtet wurden und woran wir welche erkennen usw. In der Luft haben wir dann lange Zeit keinen Wal gesehen und der Pilot ist extra etwas länger im Kreis geflogen bis ein Buckelwal aufgetaucht ist. Das war echt Klasse! Leider war der Wal nur klein zu sehen, es war aber trotzdem sehr beeindruckend!

Einmalige Erfahrung

Ausgesprochen nette und humorvolle Crew. Etwas kleiner als Wings over Whales, aber gerade das macht so familiär und sympathisch. Hatten das Glück einen Pottwal und über 400 Dusky Delfine zu sehen. Fühlten uns den ganzen Flug über in sicheren Händen und konnten entspannt die Tiere und Landschaft beobachten.
