点评:This was a great day out, but be prepared for a very early start if you are coming from CT, pick up was at 4am ISH, the boat and cage were all very safe and it was great as my husband who is a non swimmer felt comfortable enough to get into the cage. A light breakfast was provided and we took some seasickness meds before boarding but the conditions were smooth and probably didn't need them. All equipment was provided such as wetsuit and mask and everyone got a turn in the water. Now the unfortunate thing is if it's great white your after you'll most likely be disappointed, the pressure on the ecosystem now means they are appearing less often, and the Ocra arnt helping. But we did see some Bronzies (copper shark) and a big ray so all wasn't lost.. the sharks were a good size 3m or so, and the staff were very experienced at lurning them in for a close encounter. Was nice to have a marine biologist on board, and the skipper was quite a character. When we got back to shore lunch was there as was a wee professional video to purchase (no pressure). I did ask how often do they head out and see nothing and was told maybe 5%.. so while it's a wildlife excursion you'd be very unlucky to miss out. I've done wildlife trips before and seen absolutely nothing..
There were a few other boats out there with other companies, but ours looked like there were fewer people on there, I didn't put my swimmers on before leaving and had time to pop them on before getting into the cage, (in the loo on the boat, don't recommend this if you get motion sickness).
Was back in CT by about 2.30pm so still had time to visit another attraction.
Booked through the cape town premium city pass and paid extra for the transfer.
It's a jaunt from CT, as your are going to spend as much time on the bus as off,. it's a lovely drive back, just be aware of the 5 HR transfer to gansbai return. If id had the time I think I'd stay over a do some whale watching too. (I do think they have a guest house but can't comment on the quality)
翻译:这是美好的一天,但如果您从康涅狄格州来,请做好早起出发的准备,接载时间为凌晨 4 点(ISH),船和笼子都非常安全,这很棒,因为我不会游泳的丈夫也觉得这很棒进入笼子很舒服。提供了简单的早餐,我们在登机前服用了一些晕船药,但条件很顺利,可能不需要它们。提供了所有装备,例如潜水衣和面罩,每个人都在水中轮流。现在不幸的是,如果它是伟大的白色,你很可能会失望,生态系统的压力现在意味着它们出现的频率降低了,而 Ocra 并没有提供帮助。但我们确实看到了一些青铜鲨(铜鲨)和一条大鳐鱼,所以一切都没有消失。鲨鱼的体型很大,有 3m 左右,工作人员在诱捕它们进行近距离接触方面非常有经验。很高兴船上有一位海洋生物学家,而且船长很有个性。当我们回到岸上时,午餐就在那里,还有一个可以购买的专业视频(没有压力)。我确实问过他们有多少次出去却什么也看不见,他们告诉我大概有 5%。所以,虽然这是一次野生动物游览,但错过了就太不幸了。我以前参加过野生动物之旅,但什么也没看到。
那里还有几艘其他公司的船,但我们的船看起来人较少,我在离开前没有穿上游泳衣,有时间在进入笼子之前穿上它们,(在厕所里)在船上,如果晕车的话不建议这样做)。
下午 2.30 左右回到康涅狄格州,所以还有时间参观另一个景点。
通过开普敦高级城市通票预订并支付额外的接送费用。
这是从康涅狄格州出发的一次短途旅行,因为您在公交车上花费的时间与下车的时间一样多。开车回程很愉快,只是要注意返回干斯拜需要 5 个小时的时间。如果我有时间,我想我也会留下来赏鲸。 (我确实认为他们有宾馆,但无法评论质量)
