“Ich war ausschließlich negativ beeindruckt. So werden dort u. a. 3 Haie und eine Riesenschildkröte in einem meiner Meinung nach viel zu kleinem Becken gehalten. Der Schildkröte konnte man förmlich ansehen, wie traurig und depressiv sie ist....so ist sie völlig abgestumpft immer wieder im Kreis geschwommen. 1 x Sealife und nie wieder. Derartige Einrichtungen gehören für mich vor dem Hintergrund des Tierschutzes verboten! Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum die tierschutzrechtlichen Anforderungen in Bezug auf die Größe des Beckens offenbar so gering sind. Dieser Besuch hat mich sehr nachdenklich und traurig gestimmt.”

“Christel is wonderful! We absolutely loved the tour, learning and seeing many things that we doubt we would've been gotten from anyone but a local such as herself. And you must give yourself at least two days to explore the island if you can; a two-hour tour only just begins your exploration of all the history and charm that Lübeck has to offer. And of course, make sure to have Christel as your guide when you begin your visit!”
