点评:We booked this island-hopping tour independently from Carnival Splendor, from an ad posted on the Carnival page, and the process was seamless — Vasiti Koi made everything easy to arrange in advance. As part of an independent booking, we had a guarantee to be back in time for the ship's departure, and we also got the tour cheaper than what was offered through the cruise ship itself — definitely worth doing.
Getting off the ship was a little chaotic, as there were crowds of people looking for last-minute tours, but the Nautilus Adventures tent was easy to spot, and it was only a short walk to the boat.
My mum has limited walking mobility, and the crew did their best to help her on and off the boat at each stop. To be fair, this isn't the most accessible tour for anyone with mobility issues — she wasn't able to get off the boat at the first two islands.
However, at our final stop, Treasure Island, she was able to disembark via a smaller tender boat. Our tour guide, David, was fantastic — he helped her on and off every step of the way. The whole crew, in fact, went above and beyond for our group of six; nothing was too much trouble.
The first two stops offered beautiful snorkeling — one island had a lovely sandy beach, and the other was a reef snorkel spot with some gorgeous deeper coral.
Treasure Island was a real highlight. We visited the turtle sanctuary and iguana enclosure, where my son even got to hold an iguana — such a fun experience. The turtles were more for viewing, but still beautiful to see. The locals also performed traditional dances and songs, which was absolutely amazing to watch — David even got to join in, which was a lovely touch. We enjoyed a relaxed lunch here with stunning scenery, and the food was fabulous — the pizzas are huge! Drinks weren't ice cold, but honestly, who cares — you're in Fiji!
One tip: bring your own snorkeling gear, as it isn't supplied — totally fair, just good to know ahead of time.
Overall, a wonderful day out with a genuinely caring crew, very professional yet laid-back. Highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for the memories!
翻译:我们是通过嘉年华邮轮官网上的广告,自行预订了这次离岛游览活动,整个预订流程十分顺畅——Vasiti Koi协助我们提前安排好了所有事宜。由于是自行预订,我们也得到了能及时赶回船上登船的保证;而且这个价格也比通过邮轮公司直接预订要便宜——绝对值得一试。
下船时有点混乱。当时有很多人都在寻找临时能参加的旅游团,不过“鹦鹉螺探险”的帐篷很容易辨认,而且走到乘船点也只需很短的路程。
我妈妈行动不太方便,船员们每次停靠时都尽力帮她上下船。坦率地说,对于行动不便的人来说,这并不是一个最便利的旅游项目——她在前两个岛屿上都没能下船。
不过,在我们的最后一站,也就是宝岛上……她得以乘一艘较小的补给船上岸。我们的导游大卫非常出色——他全程都协助她上下船。事实上,整个船上的工作人员都为我们六人小组竭尽全力;无论什么要求他们都欣然满足。
前两个停靠点都是绝佳的浮潜地点:其中一个岛上有美丽的沙滩,另一个则是适合浮潜的珊瑚礁区,那里的深水区有着形态各异的绚丽珊瑚。
“宝藏岛”更是本次行程的亮点所在。我们参观了海龟保护区以及鬣蜥饲养区。我的儿子甚至还能亲手抱一抱鬣蜥——真是一次有趣的体验。那些海龟虽然主要是供人观赏的,但看起来也相当漂亮。当地人还表演了传统舞蹈和歌曲,观看起来简直妙不可言——大卫甚至还得以加入表演,这一细节真是贴心又美好。我们在这里一边享受着悠闲的午餐,一边欣赏着绝美的景色,食物也棒极了——这里的披萨个头超大!饮料虽算不上冰镇,但说实话,谁会在意呢——毕竟你可是身在斐济啊!
一个小贴士:记得自带浮潜装备哦。由于并未提供相关服务——这完全可以理解,提前知晓这一点也挺好。
总的来说,这是一次很棒的出游体验:工作人员真心体贴,既专业又随和。强烈推荐这个旅游项目!
谢谢你们带给我这些美好的回忆!
