Translated from German
A fantastic experience! A wonderful tour with a visit to the old lighthouse, a fish farm, and a waterfall. We also booked lunch on Ile aux Cerfs. Afterward, we had a fantastic snorkeling tour. We were lucky enough to see giant tortoises and dolphins. At the waterfall, we were able to feed monkeys from the boat. Our skipper, Luca, was super nice and very knowledgeable about the boat. The whole family was absolutely thrilled. There were five of us on the boat and we had plenty of space. Highly recommended!
