点评:Loch Ness has held a spot in out psyche since childhood, mostly thanks to those endless tales of monsters and legends. Getting out on the water was a priority, but I wanted something more personal than a standard tour.
Being low down on the water in a RIB on Loch Ness at “Nessie Level” is a genuine thrill. This isn't a "bus ride on the water" experience; it’s fast, exhilarating, and the boat is really put through its paces, leaving a massive frothy wake behind. Despite the speed, you feel connected to the loch and its history. And there are stops to take in the scale and geography of the Loch.
The team is very skilled and safety-conscious, but more importantly, their enthusiasm is infectious. They make you feel like part of the crew rather than just another paying passenger.
A question I wondered and Im sure you do is how wet you’ll get. Even sitting up front during the tight, high-speed turns, I stayed completely dry—which is more than I can say for some sedate ferry trips I've taken elsewhere.
A few practical tips:
Recording: If you want to film, use a GoPro. You need to hang on tight at these speeds, and any phone footage will likely end up juddery. And you don't want to lose it.
Booking: Their website makes it easy to book ahead. I made the mistake of waiting until the final day of my holiday and immediately regretted not going earlier so I could join them again for another experience.
The Beastie Boats team made this the most welcoming and memorable experience of our entire trip. And something I for one, have taken away as my highlight of our time at Loch Ness!
翻译:自幼时起,尼斯湖就占据了我们心中不可或缺的位置,这主要归功于那些数不胜数的关于水怪和传说的故事。出海游览一直是我的首选,但我想要的是一种比普通观光团更个性化的体验。
乘坐RIB快艇在尼斯湖的“尼斯湖水位”上低空穿梭,真是一种刺激的体验。这可不是“水上巴士之旅”;它速度飞快,令人兴奋,快艇在水面上飞驰,激起巨大的浪花。尽管速度很快,你仍然能感受到与湖泊及其历史的紧密联系。途中还会停靠,让你欣赏尼斯湖的壮丽景色和地理风貌。
船员们技术精湛,安全意识极强,但更重要的是,他们的热情极具感染力。他们让你感觉自己是船员的一份子,而不仅仅是一个付费乘客。
我当时很想知道,相信你也想知道,你会被淋成什么样?即使在高速急转弯时坐在船头,我也完全没有被淋湿——这比我之前乘坐的一些平缓的渡轮之旅要好得多。
一些实用小贴士:
拍摄:如果您想拍摄,请使用 GoPro。在这种速度下,您需要紧紧抓住扶手,任何手机拍摄的画面都可能抖动。而且您肯定不想丢失它。
预订:他们的网站预订非常方便。我犯了个错误,等到假期最后一天才预订,立刻后悔没有早点预订,这样我就可以再次体验他们的服务了。
Beastie Boats 团队让这次体验成为我们整个旅程中最热情、最难忘的经历。对我个人而言,这绝对是我在尼斯湖之旅中最美好的回忆!
