Enttäuschend- Preis-Leistung passt nicht

Die Unterbringung ist extremst einfach, es schlafen alle in einem Raum, die meisten direkt vor den 2 Bordtoiletten, die Matratzen sind alt. Es wird nichts mehr investiert. Die Schnorchel sind ebenfalls alt und teilweise kaputt. Das Essen nicht mehr als Basic. Zum Glück hatten wir herrliches Wetter und konnten alle an Deck schlafen. Auch wenn es günstig angeboten wird, stimmt das Preis Leistungsverhältnis NICHT

Bester Trip bisher auf meiner Australienreise

Aktiver Segeltörn zu drei einzigartigen Schnorchelplätzen, der Whitsunday Beach. Freundliche und kompetente Crew. Nur 16 Gäste auf großer Yacht. Gesundes und schmackhaftes Essen. Sehr empfehlenswert.
