点评:The night before we started our expedition cruise in Broome it was the full moon and we saw the staircase at Town beach. Good omens!
From wading out to Reef Prince from Cable Beach to docking at Darwin it was an awesome 12 days. We were lucky to have only 25 onboard (thanks singles!) and 11 staff. By the end of our time they had become our family.
Our cruise director, Jasmine and Captain Al really knew the Kimberley's. Al's years of experience in understanding the tides together with Jasmine's daily planning turned this into a true expedition.
All the passengers were treated with total respect and I am not sure how Jasmine managed but everyone's nuances were catered for. Daily choices were given for the off boat activities that catered for everyone's interests and physical capabilities.
For those who don't know, the tides in the Kimberley's vary over 10m per tide, so set itineraries are impossible. This is part of what made our adventure so special!
Highlights included breakfast on a sand bank, swimming in a tidal pool only available several hours of the day, bonfire on the beach, crabbing whilst dodging crocodiles, taking the Reef Prince up the King George River to see the Twin Falls (passing zodiacs from Silver Cloud) as we cruised up sipping our Mimosa. Other highlights were fishing for BIG fish, seeing the indigenous art and also seeing the stock standard Kimberley cruise items - Montgomery Reef, DC3, Horizontal Falls, Mermaid boab
Every day was different, every day was an adventure.
Highly recommend small boat travel for this amazing part of the world.
So many photos and memories, here is the first couple of days attached
翻译:在布罗姆开始探险游轮之旅的前一晚,正值满月,我们还看到了镇海滩上的阶梯。真是好兆头啊!
从在凯布尔海滩下船后涉水前往“礁石王子号”,一直到在达尔文靠岸,这12天真是棒极了。我们很幸运,船上只有25名乘客(多亏了那些单身旅客!),还有11名工作人员。旅程结束时,他们早已成了我们的家人。
我们的游轮总监贾斯敏和船长阿尔对金伯利地区了如指掌。阿尔凭借多年对潮汐规律的了解,再加上贾斯敏细致的日常规划,使这次旅程真正成为了一次精彩的探险之旅。
所有的乘客都受到了无微不至的关照;虽然我不清楚贾斯敏是如何做到的,但每位乘客的个性需求都得到了满足。每日都会提供多种离船活动以供选择,这些活动均兼顾了不同人的兴趣与体能状况。
对于不了解情况的人来说,金伯利地区的潮汐幅度每次可超过10米,因此事先制定固定行程根本不可行。这正是让我们的冒险之旅如此特别的原因!
亮点包括:在沙洲上享用早餐;在一天中只有数小时存在的潮池里游泳;在海滩上点燃篝火;一边躲避鳄鱼一边捉螃蟹;乘坐“Reef Prince”号沿乔治王河逆流而上观赏双子瀑布(途中还遇到了“Silver Cloud”号游轮上的客人们),同时我们还一边品着含羞草鸡尾酒。其他精彩时刻还有钓到大鱼的体验。既能欣赏到原住民艺术,又能看到金伯利地区那些经典的游轮旅游景点——蒙哥马利礁、DC3飞机残骸、水平瀑布,还有美人鱼波巴树。
每天都各不相同,每天都是一场冒险。
强烈推荐乘坐小船游览这个世界上绝美的地区。
留下了太多照片与回忆,这里附上最初几天的记录。
