LAST MINUTE LAST PLACE! - Weekend to discover the Cinque Terre on a sailing boat

Massimo non era presente, ha trovato un sostituito, Francesco. Mi è sembrato poco proattivo nel fare gruppo, nel dare spiegazioni sull'itinerario e nell'affrontare gli inconvenienti che si sono presentati durante il weekend. Esperienza che si è rivelata tutto sommato positiva grazie al gruppo, ma mi sarei aspettato una maggiore attenzione.

New Year's flotilla in French Polynesia! Bora Bora and the Society Islands

09/3/2023

Giovanni B.

Che dire, vacanza indimenticabile! Abbiamo visitato la Polinesia Francese con uno splendido catamarano che ci ha permesso di vivere l'oceano e gli atolli polinesiani nel modo migliore, come nessun resort può fare! Ancoraggi in baie incredibili, su acque turchesi popolate da pesci e coralli di mille colori. Abbiamo navigato nel blu cobalto del Pacifico e visto isole verdissime ricche di vegetazione. Luoghi che resteranno per sempre nel cuore. SUPER CONSIGLIATO!
