There we were, trapped on the boat for 8 hours in wind gusts of 57km/h and total swell. The tour was a disaster, a real rip-off!

“Ein Muss wenn man die Möglichkeit dazu hat. Es hat alles super geklappt, vom Transfer, über Verpflegung und Kulisse. Der schönste Stopp war mit Abstand die Hong Insel. Nehmt euch dort alle Zeit. Der Strand ist früh am Morgen null überlaufen. Total weicher Sand, kaum Müll und eine Bar und Restaurant direkt am Strand. Zusammen mit der Aussichtsplattform ein perfektes Ausflugsziel für 2-3h. Unser Guide Peter hat uns geschichtlich ein paar Facts gegeben. Er hat sich super um uns gesorgt. Immer eine Decke dabei, genügend Getränke und immer ein Auge auf uns. Zudem hat er sich immer angeboten Bilder zu machen. Sobald man nach jedem Stopp aufs Boot zurück kam,…”
