点评:Safari Blue: For the snorkel, sand bar, lagoon and lunch tour. Don’t waste your precious holiday in Zanzibar. If you want to go somewhere great for snorkelling these guys don't know where they are or don't care about guests' experience. I don’t understand the positive reviews I read on them. It was the worst snorkeling experience I’ve ever been on and we’ve been in the water scuba diving and snorkeling for over 30 years. First of all, the crew on the boat were not friendly, at all; it appeared they were in a huge hurry to get this over with and were just plainly rude. We got there and no-one gave us any instruction other than: "Just get on the boat."
Next, we left for the 45 minute boat ride to the snorkelling area amid 1 meter swells; one of the Brits on board began upchucking over the side. They had not warned us at all over the possibility of sea-sickness or offered us a candy or Dramamine like the captain of the boat we went diving with later, did. They lowered the anchor and we all went over the side to snorkel. I saw a total of 2 starfish (see the pictures) and no coral worth photographing. It was so rough that the water kept going over the tops of our snorkels. I didn’t even go out for the 2nd location due to the waves. The stop at the sand bar was incredibly beautiful and worth seeing, as well as the lagoon surrounded by rock formations. The lunch on a bigger island was okay, but just okay. The one highlight is that on the way back they opened the sails which was a far more comfortable experience than previous. All in all, if doing it over again I’d skip Safari Blue and spend my valuable vacation time with people who actually like tourists.
翻译:Safari Blue:提供浮潜、沙洲游览、泻湖观光以及午餐服务。可千万别把你在桑给巴尔的宝贵假期浪费在这家公司身上。如果你想找个适合浮潜的好地方,他们要么不知道哪里适合,要么根本不在乎游客的体验。我实在无法理解那些关于他们的正面评价。这是我经历过的最糟糕的浮潜体验——而三十多年来我们一直都在进行水肺潜水和浮潜活动。首先,船上的工作人员一点也不友善。完全不是;看起来他们急着想赶紧把事情办完,态度极其粗鲁。我们到了之后,除了“上船就行”这句话外,没人给我们任何指示。
接着,我们乘船出发,在1米高的浪涛中进行了45分钟的航程才抵达浮潜区;船上有个英国人开始吐得不可开交。他们根本没有提醒我们可能会出现晕船的情况,也没有像后来带我们潜水的那艘船的船长那样,给我们糖果或乘晕宁。他们抛下锚,我们便都跳下水去浮潜。我总共只看到了2只海星(见图片),没有值得拍摄的珊瑚。海况极其恶劣,海水不断漫过我们的呼吸管。由于浪太大,我甚至没去第二个潜水点。在沙洲上的停留体验非常美妙,值得一看;被岩石环绕的潟湖也同样迷人。在那个较大的岛上吃的午餐还算可以,但也就那样吧。唯一值得称道的一点就是返程时他们展开了船帆,这比之前的体验舒适得多。总的来说,如果可以重新选择,我会放弃Safari Blue,把宝贵的假期时间花在那些真正喜欢游客的人身上。
