Schöne Tour

An der Tour gibt es nichts auszusetzen. Es gab ein paar, aber nicht zu viele, interessante Infos zu Wasserfällen, Bergen und Co. Wir haben auch extra für Seehunde gehalten. Das Boot, mit unbegrenzt Kaffee und Tee inklusive, war auch top und die Stimmung gut. Bei uns war es allerdings auch geschätzt nicht mal zur Hälfte ausgebucht - wenn es ganz voll ist, kann es vielleicht ungemütlicher werden auf dem vergleichsweise großen Schiff, welches aber große Glasflächen/-Fenster hat.

Ein einmaliges Erlebnis

Eine tolle Schifffahrt, die vom Fjord bis in den Pacific und zurück ging. Vorbei an schönen Wasserfällen, entlang des Fjordes. Dazu herrliches Wetter. Kann ich nur empfehlen!

Schön

Sehr schöne Tour. Leider sehr viele Touristen, sogar schon um 9 Uhr morgens. Tee und Kaffee sind kostenfrei erhältlich. Oberes Deck ist im Freien und eignet sich super um die Aussicht zu genießen.
