Super balade mais attention à la taille du bateau

Très belle balade en bateau jusqu'à la mer, vraiment c'était très sympa. Cependant j'étais sur un très gros bateau et beaucoup de personnes étaient très bruyantes, ce qui gâche l'expérience et la tranquillité de cette excursion.

Expérience magnifique

La croisière dans le fjord était magnifique, on a eu la chance d'avoir du soleil. Les paysages sont impressionnants de beauté. Pendant la croisière on a même eu la chance de voir des dauphins, pour qui le capitaine a coupé le moteur et ne pas les déranger. Dans le bateau vous pouvez acheter à manger et à boire (les prix sont raisonnables) et vous avez aussi du café et du thé à disposition (gratuit) Croisière au top je recommande

Staff médiocre

Croisière à l'heure, bateau spacieux Par contre : ils vendent de l'alcool à l'intérieur (bières, vin, champagne) mais refuse que vous buviez une bière non achetée sur le bateau Au retour sur le quai, les employés de la compagnie se font des doigts d'honneur mutuellement d'un bateau à l'autre avant l'ouverture des portes Manque de civilisation certain & règlement hypocrite
