We zijn naar 2 verschillende groepen walvissen gevaren op onze eigen privé zeilboot. 3 drankjes en een sandwich inbegrepen. Tip: ga wanneer het niet te veel waait (windstil), zeeziekte zit in een klein hoekje.Posted on Google Niels WillemsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
