Ich kann jedem Naturliebhaber diese Tour nur ans Herz legen .Dazu kommt ,das es den Menschen dort in der Region hilft ein einkommen zu haben ,um auch die Zukunft der Delfine zu sichern.Dazu kommt noch ein kleiner Beitrag zum Umweltschutz. ##### Andreas Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruth Feb 3, 2020 ##### Ruth Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Iberostar-Grand-Bavaro-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h2802575.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Walk Condos](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Mountain-Walk-Condos.h51139161.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Family-Hotel.0-0-d178245-tFamilyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Divi Aruba All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Oranjestad-Hotels-Divi-Aruba-All-Inclusive.h454052.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wave Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vieques-Hotels-The-Wave-Hotel.h13397183.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d179995-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hill Top Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ngwe-Saung-Hotels-Hill-Top-Resort.h21592185.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bathurst](https://www.expedia.ca/Bathurst-Hotels.d6057899.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Harrisonburg](https://www.expedia.ca/Harrisonburg-Hotels.d6056902.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Liberty Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberty-Village-Toronto-Hotels.0-n553248635976008521-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Dublin (DUB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/dub/calgary-to-dublin) > > [Flights from Medicine Hat (YXH) to Castlegar (YCG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxh/ycg/medicine-hat-to-castlegar) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Bangor (BGR) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bgr/lhr/bangor-to-london) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/del/vancouver-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyj/edmonton-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Fargo (FAR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/far/yyz/fargo-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fll/mco/fort-lauderdale-to-orlando) > > [American Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/American-Airlines-Flights.cAA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yyz/calgary-to-toronto) > > [flights from phoenix mesa gateway airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/aza/flights-from-phoenix-mesa-gateway-airport) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Chatham-Kent](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Chatham-Kent.d6057866.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Houston.d178265.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Metropolitan Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Metropolitan-Golf-Club-Anjou.d553248621532865804.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals > [Pollards Point Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Pollards-Point-Vacation-Rentals.d553248635921964863.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) ### General > [Visit Saint James City](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-James-City.dx6355652) > > [Visit Holland Park](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Holland-Park.dx6144892)
