One hour moarch cruise
This cruise more than met my expectations .The staff were friendly and very professional. They pointed out and provided us with identification and commentary on all the wildlife we saw. A good historical commentary was also appreciated. I went on an Aussie day trip to Fraser Island once. Your tour left it for dead in all aspects.

너무 좋은 투어를 했습니다.
투어 하루 전날 Bookme에서 반값 상품을 발견하고 큰 기대 없이 참여한 투어였는데 너무 좋은 투어를 했습니다. 옆집 아저씨같이 사람 좋은 웃음으로 친절히 대해주시며 오타고 반도 주변의 생태와 지리 등에 대해 열심히 알려주신 Jurgen의 가이드가 기억에 많이 남네요. 많은 알바트로스도 보고 바다 위의 세때들 그리고 찰나지만 펭귄를 본 것도 좋았습니다. 날씨 좋은 날 오타고 반도에 간다면 한번쯤 해보셔도 좋을 듯합니다.
