点评:We came as a family of 5 for a long weekend and stayed about 4 nights. We came to dive and snorkel with whale sharks. It was a bit of a journey from our home and required an overnight stay in Bali, as the flight from Bali to Lombok was earlier than our flight arrived. I contact our hosts Andrew and Anne through WhatsApp. They both were amazing hosts. They helped us stay in a family cabin with AC across from the restaurant and pool. They helped arrange for our pick-up from the airport and a speedboat transfer to their resort. The pick-up and transport were seemless. The speedboat ride was a bit long due to traveling against the current.
My family loved their pet dog and pet baby deer (which they rescued and are raising until adulthood).
Their service team was great, and we tried everything on their menu, including western & Indonesian food. They have trained their team well and are constantly making drinks or snacks for us. We were fortunate that the first night they grilled up a 9-kg giant traveler fish that was caught by the village fishermen. The second night, they cooked up a variety of delicious Indonesian food.
Our room was sufficient for us. They are still in the process of improving it. Overall, it was decent and clean, with AC and fans. Luckily, the weather is not too hot towards the end of the day. At night, it is pitch black heading from the restaurant to our cabin.
We didn't get much sleep the first night as we had to leave at 3am to go by speedboat to snorkel with whale sharks by sunrise in the south of Teluk Bay (3 hours away). This was an amazing experience for us to swim with about 4 whale sharks in the middle of the bay. We snorkeled with whale sharks (so friendly), had a breakfast break, and then, at about 10:30 a.m., headed back. The trip back took half the time.
We did 5 boat dives with them. They were great dive guides and took care of us. We saw reef sharks, eels, snakes, and many fish. We tried to find some mantas but weren't able to come across any. On one of our dives, we ended the dive on a slightly submerged island (waist-high water depth of 1.5 m) at sunset. We watch the beautiful sunset before swimming over to the boat. On one of our last dives, during our surface interval, they took us on a short hike to Sangl Waterfall. It was a forest full of butterflies. Google identified the butterflies as Vindula dejone, the Malay cruiser.
Our trip back to the main island on a speedboat was much faster. We made it much earlier than needed for our flight and journey back home.
Our only issue was the presence of wasps. Even after they would remove any nests and spray the wasps, they would always return. I guess it can't be helped being situated in the middle of a forest / wild growth. The island is only partially developed, with a bit of farm land.
They took great care of us from start to finish. We will definitely come back.
翻译:我们一家五口来这里度过了一个长周末,住了大约 4 个晚上。我们来这里潜水和浮潜,与鲸鲨共舞。从我们家出发需要一段路程,需要在巴厘岛过夜,因为从巴厘岛飞往龙目岛的航班比我们的航班到达时间早。我通过 WhatsApp 联系了我们的主人 Andrew 和 Anne。他们都是很棒的主人。他们帮我们住在餐厅和游泳池对面的一间带空调的家庭小屋里。他们帮我们安排了从机场接我们,并安排了快艇将我们送到他们的度假村。接送和交通都很顺利。由于逆流而行,快艇行程有点长。
我的家人很喜欢他们的宠物狗和宠物小鹿(他们救了它们,并一直养到成年)。
他们的服务团队很棒,我们尝试了菜单上的所有菜品,包括西餐和印尼菜。他们的团队训练有素,经常为我们制作饮料或小吃。我们很幸运,第一天晚上他们烤了一条 9 公斤重的巨型旅人鱼,这是村里的渔民捕获的。第二天晚上,他们烹制了各种美味的印尼菜。
我们的房间对我们来说足够了。他们仍在改进它。总的来说,房间不错,干净,有空调和风扇。幸运的是,一天快结束时天气不太热。晚上,从餐厅到我们的小屋,一片漆黑。
第一天晚上我们没怎么睡,因为我们必须在凌晨 3 点出发,乘快艇去 Teluk Bay 南部(3 小时车程)与鲸鲨一起浮潜。这对我们来说是一次奇妙的经历,可以在海湾中部与大约 4 条鲸鲨一起游泳。我们与鲸鲨一起浮潜(非常友好),吃了早餐,然后,大约在上午 10:30 返程。回程只花了一半的时间。
我们和他们一起进行了 5 次船潜。他们是很棒的潜水向导,照顾我们。我们看到了礁鲨、鳗鱼、蛇和许多鱼。我们试图寻找一些蝠鲼,但没能找到。在一次潜水中,我们在日落时分在一个略微淹没的岛屿(齐腰深 1.5 米)上结束了潜水。我们欣赏了美丽的日落,然后游到船上。在我们最后一次潜水中,在水面休息期间,他们带我们短途徒步前往桑格瀑布。那是一片充满蝴蝶的森林。谷歌识别出这些蝴蝶是马来巡洋舰 Vindula dejone。
我们乘坐快艇返回主岛的旅程要快得多。我们比航班和回家所需的时间早得多。
我们唯一的问题是黄蜂的存在。即使他们移除了所有蜂巢并喷洒了黄蜂,它们还是会回来。我想位于森林/野生植物中间是没办法的。该岛仅部分开发,有一点农田。
他们从头到尾都非常照顾我们。我们一定会回来的。
