Le ciel était très nuageux et le couché de soleil non visible, notre guide nous a donc proposé de découvrir l'histoire des falaises a proximité de la côte. C'etait finalement encore mieux ! il y a 20 minutes pour sauter du bateau et se baigner, c'est très appréciable. le Catamaran n'est pas surchargé , ce qui permet de se déplacer, de s'allonger au milieu, de discuter avec les autres participants. il y a même de quoi boire une bière ou un coca sur le bateau. Bilan de l'activité : Géniale !”
