点评:We chose the Rabaul scenic tour rather than book an expensive shore tour from our P & 0 cruise and were very happy we did. For $90 we had a solid 6 hour tour in an air conditioned mini bus looking at the sites and war memorials.
There were 8 of us in our bus so there was plenty of room. It might have been a bit squishy with 12 so we were probably lucky. Our tour guide was Jackie, who was fantastic and she provided heaps of insights into life in PNG. Our bus driver was Isaac who was also great. They even took us on a slight detour to show my mum the street named after her brother who was born in Australia while his father was serving in Rabaul.
The only reason I didn’t give this review 5 stars was because of the commencement of the tour. There was a very long wait and line up in the hot sun, with both pre booked and people hoping to get on a tour. If that was streamlined somehow it would be fantastic.
We did talk to some people who chose the P & O cruise @$299 who were bitterly disappointed and travelled in a non air conditioned coach. The air con was much needed for us in the heat and if we didn’t have it we would have struggled to enjoy ourselves.
翻译:我们选择了拉包尔风景游,而不是预订昂贵的 P & 0 游轮岸上游,我们非常高兴我们这么做了。我们花了 90 美元,乘坐空调小巴进行了 6 小时的游览,参观了各个景点和战争纪念碑。
我们的巴士上有 8 个人,所以空间很大。12 个人坐上去可能有点挤,所以我们可能很幸运。我们的导游是 Jackie,她很棒,她为我们讲解了很多关于巴布亚新几内亚生活的见解。我们的巴士司机是 Isaac,他也很棒。他们甚至带我们绕了一点路,带我妈妈去看以她哥哥的名字命名的街道,她哥哥出生在澳大利亚,而他的父亲在拉包尔服役。
我没有给这篇评论 5 星的唯一原因是因为旅行的开始。在炎热的太阳下,人们排了很长的队,既有提前预订的,也有希望参加旅行的人。如果能以某种方式简化,那就太好了。
我们确实和一些选择 P & O 游轮(299 美元)的人聊过,他们非常失望,乘坐的是没有空调的客车。在炎热的天气里,我们非常需要空调,如果没有空调,我们很难享受旅程。
