点评:This puffin trip was at the top of my bucket list. I was in Iceland one winter and the birds had already fled for the season.
I was determined to make it happen. The trip was sold out, but I checked back every day for weeks and finally got incredibly lucky when a cancellation opened up on the last day of the season! I secured my ticket just two weeks before the trip.
All I can say is WOW—what a day. We saw tons of puffins, landed on Seal Island, and had an incredible experience watching the birds. The sketchy and foggy weather worked in our favor. Puffins actually LOVE it—they were everywhere! Thousands of them. And you absolutely can get great photos with your iPhone, so you don’t need fancy camera equipment.
A huge thank you to Abby, Anna, and Captain Bob (who took us out on his birthday!) for making the day so fantastic. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole adventure so much fun.
I've been to Maine before and the second I got tickets, I booked the airline ticket and rental car. The Bluebird Hotel nearby is an excellent choice if you're going on this trip. Be prepared for the adventure--it can be misty (the boat has ponchos) and cold, so prepare accordingly. If this is on your bucket list, DO IT! And if it’s sold out, keep checking for cancellations—you never know when your lucky day will come. Thank you, Bold Coast Charters, for making my puffin dreams a reality.
翻译:这次海鹦观赏之旅一直是我愿望清单上的首选。有一年冬天我曾去过冰岛,但那时海鹦们早已飞往他处过冬了。
我下定决心一定要实现这个愿望。虽然那趟旅行的名额早已售罄,但我还是连续数周每天都去查看,最终在季末的最后一天,因为有人临时取消预订,我幸运地抢到了名额!我在出发前两周才顺利买到票。
我只能说:太棒了!真是难忘的一天。我们看到了大量海鹦,还登上了海豹岛。我们观赏海鸟的经历真是棒极了。阴沉多雾的天气反而对我们有利——海鹦们简直爱死了这种天气,到处都是它们的身影!成千上万只呢。用iPhone也能拍出很棒的照片,所以根本不需要昂贵的摄影设备。
特别感谢Abby、Anna以及船长Bob(他甚至在自己生日当天带我们出海!),是他们让这一天变得如此完美。船员们知识渊博又友善热情,让整个探险之旅充满了乐趣。我以前去过缅因州,一买到门票我就立刻订好了机票和租车服务。如果你也要去的话,附近的Bluebird Hotel是个绝佳的住宿选择。出发前请做好充分准备——那里可能多雾且寒冷(游船上备有雨衣),所以请提前做好应对准备。如果这趟旅行在你的心愿清单上,那就一定要去!万一票已经售罄,也请持续关注是否有退票情况——谁知道什么时候会轮到你呢。感谢Bold Coast Charters帮我实现了与海鹦亲密接触的梦想!
