    Leider haben wir das erste Boot verpasst weil keiner wusste wo wir hin müssen und uns alle woanders hingeschickt haben! War echt stressig! Aber der Tom hat uns dann aufs nächste Boot gelotzt. Es waren nur ein paar Leite drin und die Fahrt war super. Herrliches Wetter toller Kapitän echt super ♥️

    We booked our tickets online which was really easy. The little earphones for the audio tour worked well as you can choose your language and volume. We were lucky as it was sunny & warm. I would recommend this tour
