“Het was geweldig! We waren de enige gasten met een supergastvrije bemanning. Het is mooi om te zien hoe respectvol ze met de dieren omgaan. We zagen zelfs Bultruggen, het was fijn dat er gepaste afstand werd genomen. De lunch was ook fenomenaal! De plek waar deze werd gereserveerd was prachtig. De kennis van de crew was indrukwekkend. We hebben een heerlijk dag gehad!”
