Talking with another guest at the same hotel who also was picked up at the same time, who was told the driver would be there at 7AM. This extra time could have been used to sleep a little longer or get breakfast.”

“Schöne Tour zum Turtle-Point und zu einem Korallenriff vor Balicasag. Ziemlich viel los dort, beim Schnorcheln aufpassen, dass man nicht mit einem Boot kollidiert :D Abgesehen von den Schildkröten war auch eine Muräne sowie viele andere Fische am Start. Man hat wirklich einen One-on-one Guide, der Fotos macht und sich um einen kümmert. Top! Für Schnorchel-Anfänger ggf nicht geeignet oder bisschen tough (Strömungsschnorcheln, ziemlich hohe Wellen), aber tolle Sicht auf die Schildkröten. Delfine leider keine, aber da kann keiner was für. Sehr gutes Mittagessen, Cola, Bier, Wasser - alles am Start. Würde ich wieder buchen! Kleine Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten: Für gute Schnorchler wären Leih-Floss...”
