Remember, we presented last year a new concept proposed by Aquarius: the mini safari, 4 days on land, and 3 days at sea. After the Great South, Eric Belloin now offers "Wrecks and Ras Mohamed", North. And you can even combine both!
RELY ON TOTAL FLEXIBILITY
This is the main purpose of these mini-safaris, and the North formula works on the same principle: no longer have to choose between cruising and staying on land, can easily go with a non-diving spouse who can participate in the mini-safari Cruise (PMT loan and possibility to swim with the dolphins) or choose to stay at the hotel, taste if you wish to the charms of North and South by combining the two without remaining an eternity on the spot.
