点评:Incredible trip of a lifetime. We brought 11 family members ranging from 9 to 82 years old. Steve, Jess, and the entire crew of experienced, kind, and attentive guides made this a perfect experience for our family. They struck a perfect balance of ensuring our safety and comfort while also allowing for independent activities and fun. Everyone from the youngest to the oldest had an incredible time, even those without outdoor trip experience or a passion for nature. The emphasis on not relying on technology (phones, ipads etc) was somewhat daunting at first with the kids, but turned out to be an absolute blessing as we had the best family time and everyone stayed totally present and engaged on what we were doing - and there was always something great to do.
Some of us have a lot of experience with multiple rafting and outdoors trips and Steve Zettel is the absolute best we've ever been with. Just a unique guy who is able to run a tight ship while taking every opportunity to create fun and special memories for everyone - whether it's playing games with the guests young and old, to finding opportunities for side hikes or fishing ventures, to playing guitar and singing his own songs - just a one of a kind incredible guy. All the guides were wonderful and the Zettel family clearly sets incredibly high standards for who they bring into their family's crew. Could not recommend highly enough.
One note for those bringing kids who dont eat everything - snag some hot dogs or burgers or whatnot in Stanley to bring on the trip. The food is excellent but its a fairly set menu and so dont expect separate meals to be prepared for the kids unless you bring something for them to throw on the grill.
翻译:一生难忘的旅行!我们带了11位家庭成员,年龄从9岁到82岁不等。Steve、Jess以及所有经验丰富、友善细心的导游团队,为我们全家打造了一次完美的体验。他们在保障我们安全舒适的同时,也允许我们进行自主活动和玩乐,取得了完美的平衡。从最小的到最大的,每个人都玩得很开心,即使是那些没有户外旅行经验或对自然不感兴趣的人。一开始,带着孩子时,强调不依赖科技产品(手机、iPad等)有点令人畏惧,但最终却发现这绝对是件好事,因为我们度过了最美好的家庭时光,每个人都全身心投入到我们正在做的事情中——而且总有一些有趣的事情可以做。
我们中的一些人有丰富的漂流和户外旅行经验,而Steve Zettel绝对是我们遇到过的最好的导游。他真是个独一无二的人,既能把团队管理得井井有条,又能抓住一切机会为每个人创造乐趣和特别的回忆——无论是和老少宾客一起玩游戏,还是寻找徒步旅行或钓鱼的机会,甚至弹吉他和演唱自己的歌曲——他真是个独一无二的不可思议的人。所有的导游都很棒,Zettel 家族对他们带入家族团队的成员设定了极高的标准。强烈推荐。
对于那些带着孩子但孩子不爱吃所有东西的人来说,有一点需要注意——在斯坦利买些热狗、汉堡之类的东西带上旅程。食物很棒,但菜单比较固定,所以不要指望他们会为孩子们准备单独的餐食,除非你带了一些可以放在烤架上的东西。
