Très chouette !

1ere fois que je voulais dans un petit avion, rien que ça, c'est plutôt sympa, nous avons pu voir des baleines à bosse et des dauphins ! Le tout suivi par un vol un peu plus haut pour apprécier la vue magnifique. Très bien !

2 baleines !

Super équipe, au bout de 20minutes nous n'avions toujours rien vu, le pilote n'a pas abandonné et nous avons vu deux baleines. De plus, nous avons fait un peu plus de 30 min afin de voir les baleines plongées. Nous recommandons !

Such an amazing experience!! Professional and friendly pilot and stuff welcomed me immediately and the flight was magnificent! We saw 3 blue whales!! To see their full magnificence is only possible from above. We were all so happy in our hearts, it was super and atmosphere was great all the time too. Thank you!
