点评:Coming all the way up from The Netherlands, we planned the trip to St. Kilda a year ahead. We booked for 26-27 of august: hopefully the weather would permit the trip. It did. Full sunshine, some 18 degrees and allmost no wind. At 25th We were called to confirm the trip. The trip was exactly as planned. The crew, Angus and Fred were skilled and all safety measures taken. By all, your out on the ocean... We think we had the best of weather you can have: leaving Leverburgh you could see the contour of St'Kilda in the far. But still some 50 miles to go...
It was an unforgettable day. We had more than enough time on Hirta. It is stunning, certainly as you have read the history of the place -as we did. After leaving Hirta we sailed around the stacks and since the weather was very calm, we could approach them very close. Birds, geology: Fred informed us about what to see while Angus sailed the ship.
Angus and Fred run a solid business and deliver as promised. You are in capable hands. The only enemy might be the weather but you can't blame Kilda Cruises for that.
This was a mighty once in a lifetime expirience (I think) with great thanks to Angus and Fred!

翻译:我们从荷兰远道而来,提前一年就计划好了这次圣基尔达之旅。我们预订了8月26日至27日的行程:希望天气能允许我们成行。结果真的如此。阳光明媚,气温约18摄氏度,几乎无风。25日时,我们接到电话确认行程。整个旅行完全按照计划进行。船员安格斯和弗雷德技术娴熟,各项安全措施也都落实到位。总之,我们真的置身于茫茫大海上……我们认为我们遇到了所能遇到的最好天气:离开莱弗堡时,远处还能看到圣基尔达岛的轮廓。不过距离那里还有大约50英里要航行……
那是难忘的一天。我们在赫尔塔岛上拥有充裕的时间。那里美得令人惊叹,尤其是当你像我们一样了解过这片土地的历史之后。离开赫尔塔岛后,我们沿着岛周围的岩柱航行;由于天气极为平静,我们得以靠近它们。弗莱德一边指导我们该观赏哪些景象,一边介绍关于鸟类与地质方面的知识,而安格斯则负责驾驶船只。Angus和Fred经营着一家靠谱的公司,也始终信守承诺。把事情交给他们绝对放心。唯一的“敌人”可能就是天气了,但这可不能怪Kilda Cruises。
这绝对是一生仅有一次的绝佳体验(我觉得如此),在此衷心感谢Angus和Fred!
