“Dieser Ausflug ist ein absoluter Nepp mit miesem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!!! Das Boot entsprach einer Nußschale! Damit über das offene Meer zu fahren war auch bei wenig Wellengsng eine Herausfordetung! Vor Cousin Island angekommen mussten wir 45Min warten bis Leute von Katamaranen, die vor uns da waren auf Cousin gebracht wurden! Zurück dass selbe Spiel! Diese ca 1 1/2h Zeitverlust fehlte auf Curieuse Island! Keine Führung über die Mangrovenstege, was 1h dauern würde, kein Hinweis zu der Schildkröten-Auffangstation!
