点评:We were booked to take a trip on the Seaprobe Atlantis last week and the trip was unable to go ahead due to a technical issue. However, we were offered a trip on The Spirit of Adventure instead. I didn’t have time to plan anything else on short notice so we accepted the alternative. And we were so glad we did! We were greeted in Kyle of Lochalsh by our friendly and enthusiastic skipper, Michael. He gave a choice of following a similar route to the Seaprobe or going out to sea with a possibility of seeing a pod of dolphins that he had spotted earlier that day - of course we chose the dolphins! We set off with Michael giving some excellent commentary about the local wildlife, landscape and geology. We saw cormorants, shags, gannets and skuas and drove under the Skye bridge. After circling for a while we were starting to give up hope of seeing the dolphins and then all of a sudden, Michael turned the boat and sped off to a group of gulls floating in the water and suddenly, we found ourselves surrounded by beautiful white-sided dolphins who came right up to the boat. It was magical. My family and I and the two other passengers were having a great time running from side to side, watching the dolphins swimming around us. Michael gave us a little extra time so we could enjoy the experience as much as possible and were so grateful that he did. We sailed home feeling very happy! I can see a lot of people have left bad reviews for their trips being cancelled but haven’t taken the option of a trip on the wildlife boat - all I can say is they missed out! In future, I wouldn’t book the Seaprobe, I would book The Spirit of Adventure and hope to be skippered by Michael! Would definitely recommend!!
翻译:我们上周预订了“亚特兰蒂斯号”海探之旅,但由于技术问题未能成行。不过,他们为我们安排了“冒险精神号”的替代行程。由于时间紧迫,我来不及另作安排,所以我们接受了这个替代方案。事实证明,我们非常庆幸做了这个决定!我们在凯尔洛哈尔什受到了热情友好的船长迈克尔的迎接。他让我们选择是沿着与“亚特兰蒂斯号”类似的路线航行,还是出海观赏他当天早些时候发现的一群海豚——我们当然选择了看海豚!出发后,迈克尔一路为我们讲解当地的野生动物、景观和地质情况,讲解非常精彩。我们看到了鸬鹚、海鸬鹚、塘鹅和贼鸥,还驶过了斯凯岛大桥。绕着船转了一会儿,我们都快放弃看到海豚的希望了,突然,迈克尔调转船头,飞快地驶向一群在水面上漂浮的海鸥。转眼间,我们发现自己被一群美丽的白侧海豚包围了,它们径直游到船边。那真是太神奇了!我和家人以及另外两位乘客兴奋地在船上跑来跑去,看着海豚在我们周围游来游去。迈克尔特意多给了我们一些时间,让我们尽可能地享受这次体验,我们对此感激不尽。我们带着满满的幸福感乘船回家!我看到很多人因为行程被取消而给了差评,但他们并没有选择乘坐野生动物观赏船——我只能说,他们错过了!以后我不会再预订Seaprobe号了,我会选择“冒险精神号”,并且希望由迈克尔担任船长!强烈推荐!!
