Magical show in safety
Splendid show that this whale and its calf for our last excursion before returning to metropolis! We left with images full of eyes, these imposing animals move with a quiet grace that hypnotizes you. We thank our companions for these beautiful encounters, and I would like to highlight their professionalism, both for their explanations on whales and the safety instructions to be respected and for their respect for distance from animals. I highly recommend it.
Operator response
Un immense merci pour votre magnifique retour ! Nous sommes ravis que cette dernière excursion avant votre retour en métropole vous ait offert un moment aussi fort et inoubliable. Observer une baleine et son baleineau est toujours un privilège, et nous sommes heureux que cette rencontre vous ait touchés.
Votre confiance et vos compliments nous vont droit au cœur.
Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour de nouvelles aventures ! 🌊🐋
