Sea eagle and sea gulls were everywhere - and they were close to the RIB. Manon was our lady driver and she did a great job driving and making everyone feel comfortable. You get all the necessary gear so you won’t get cold. You even get served a hot drink and some chocolate on the RIB! Well done ladies and thank you for an unforgettable morning! ❤️”
