点评:We were super excited for this, but it didn't live up to all the hype. Would have enjoyed hearing more information about the stingrays and the area other than the brief talk before we headed out to see the rays. It was a short jet boat ride to the shallow area, where the water was beautifully teal. Honestly, there were too many people (making it feel chaotic) and scared children, including our 9-year old. It was nerve-wracking trying not to step on the rays' barbed tails because the rays seem to come out of nowhere and suddenly appear below you. You can feed squid to the rays. Our 13-year old enjoyed snorkeling (with the optional snorkel) by the reef area and seeing all the fish, but he got a minor cut on his toe from the coral. Life vests were provided for those who desired them as well; you had to blow into them with your mouth and it didn't appear they sanitized them. Afterwards, they provide rum punch and sell overpriced photos ($15 for a 5x7).
We were in port for the day on a cruise ship, and we opted to rent a car from St Johns and drive to Stingray City, which was a bad idea because it took a bit of time to get all the way to Stingray City and we ended up not having much time to do other things that we would have enjoyed doing more. Lesson learned.
翻译:我们对此感到非常兴奋,但它并没有达到所有的宣传效果。除了在出发看鳐鱼之前的简短介绍外,我们很想听到更多关于黄貂鱼和该地区的信息。乘坐喷射快艇很快就能到达浅水区,那里的海水呈现出美丽的蓝绿色。老实说,那里人太多了(让人感觉很混乱),孩子们也被吓到了,包括我们 9 岁的孩子。要不踩到鳐鱼带刺的尾巴真是令人紧张,因为鳐鱼似乎不知从何而来,突然出现在你下面。你可以给鳐鱼喂鱿鱼。我们 13 岁的孩子喜欢在礁石区浮潜(使用可选的呼吸管)并观看各种鱼,但他的脚趾被珊瑚划伤了。对于那些需要救生衣的人,他们还提供了救生衣;你必须用嘴吹进去,而且他们似乎没有对救生衣进行消毒。之后,他们提供朗姆酒,并出售高价照片(5x7 售价 15 美元)。
我们乘坐游轮在港口停泊了一天,我们选择从圣约翰租车前往黄貂鱼城,但这是一个坏主意,因为需要花一些时间才能到达黄貂鱼城,我们最终没有太多时间去做我们本想做的其他事情。吸取了教训。
