点评:We booked the 4 day, 3 night tour with BEA, and didn't have a single regret!
Risma was warm and welcoming and answered emails and messages very quickly, and provided excellent guidance on not only the best tour options for us, but also suggested flight bookings and more information beyond just the tour.
The tour itself was perfectly organised, we had our guide, Monica waiting to pick us at the airport. An excellent captain navigated us to different parts of tanjung puting national park. The boat assistant and cook were also amazing, efficiently managing the boat and served up amazing, simple yet delicious food.
Monica shared so much history and context to the land and it's courageous people, and we spotted many wild organgutans and proboscis monkeys and even different birds along the way. We walked to different feeding stations to watch rehabilitated Orangutans at feeding time, and had a lovely walk through some beautiful forest with Udin, a local Ranger. We planted trees at Pesalat, and spent time with the Ranger Pedan there.
We appreciated a few specific things that made this trip really, really special:
1. our boat captain NEVER chased down any animal we spotted, and in fact turned off the engine so we could observe the animals without disturbing them.
2. The boat was super clean and well maintained, and all our trash was collected in bins (and not dumped in the river!)
3. All the staff maintained all SOPs and told us clearly about dos and don'ts.
4. The tour groups have been slowly buying land on the river bank opposite the national park to ensure palm oil companies don't take over EVERY tiny bit of land available.
5. This tour helps, supports and benefits locals (including and especially women), helping boost the local economy and preventing outmigration, which allows them to keep at their efforts to preserve and conserve the forests.
6. The staff are paid well and fairly.
Definitely recommend this tour because i noticed at least one other tour boat (and two guides) chasing and disturbing animals to please their tourist. We also saw these two guides walking barefoot in the forest (against SOPs) and disturbing the Orangutans.
We were honoured to have met and talked with various people like rangers, and our guide and boat staff who loved and respected their work and the ongoing conservation efforts.
Oh, and as a bonus, we spotted a river dolphin right at the end of our tour!
翻译:我们预订了 BEA 的 4 天 3 夜旅游,没有一个遗憾!
Risma 热情好客,回复电子邮件和消息的速度非常快,不仅为我们提供了最佳旅游选择的出色指导,还提供了机票预订建议和旅游以外的更多信息。
旅游本身组织得很好,我们有我们的导游莫妮卡在机场等着接我们。一位出色的船长带我们去了丹绒国家公园的不同地方。船上的助理和厨师也很棒,他们有效地管理着船,并提供了令人惊叹、简单而美味的食物。
莫妮卡与这片土地及其勇敢的人民分享了如此多的历史和背景,我们沿途发现了许多野生器官和长鼻猴,甚至还有不同的鸟类。我们步行到不同的喂食站,在喂食时间观看康复后的猩猩,并与当地护林员 Udin 一起漫步穿过美丽的森林。我们在 Pesalat 植树,并在那里与 Ranger Pedan 共度时光。
我们感谢一些让这次旅行真的非常特别的具体事情:
1. 我们的船长从不追赶我们发现的任何动物,实际上关掉了引擎,这样我们就可以在不打扰它们的情况下观察动物。
2. 船超级干净,保养得很好,我们所有的垃圾都收集在垃圾箱里(没有倾倒在河里!)
3. 所有员工都遵守所有 SOP,并清楚地告诉我们该做什么和不该做什么。
4.旅游团一直在慢慢购买国家公园对面河岸的土地,以确保棕榈油公司不会接管每一块可用的土地。
5. 这次旅行帮助、支持和造福当地人(包括尤其是妇女),帮助促进当地经济并防止外流,使他们能够继续努力保护和养护森林。
6. 员工薪资优厚且公平。
绝对推荐这次旅行,因为我注意到至少还有一艘游船(和两名导游)追逐和打扰动物以取悦他们的游客。我们还看到这两个向导赤脚在森林里行走(违反 SOP)并扰乱了猩猩。
我们很荣幸能与护林员、我们的向导和船员等不同的人会面并交谈,他们热爱并尊重他们的工作和正在进行的保护工作。
哦,作为奖励,我们在旅行结束时发现了一只河豚!
