点评:We booked this excursion expecting a fun day of snorkelling on a beautiful island, but it turned out to be the worst tour we’ve ever been on.
The transportation was completely dodgy — an old, filthy truck with no working seatbelts. It felt unsafe from the start. Our “guide” then tried to change the itinerary, insisting we signed up for sandboarding instead of snorkelling then claimed there was not enough time to complete the assigned itinerary because of the tides. Only after we argued that snorkelling was what we paid for (and showed him proof through our email) did he reluctantly agree to stick to the plan.
Once on the island, things got worse. He drove like a maniac for the 30-minute + trip to the lighthouse and back, with no concern for the passengers being thrown around in the back of the truck and struggling to stay on the seats. To top it off, he forgot the keys to the trailer that held all the snorkelling gear, and one of us had to crawl through a small gap to get the equipment out.
The snorkelling gear itself was disgusting — rusty, dirty, and clearly not cleaned between users. The mask straps were broken and the spares available were rusty, so we couldn’t even snorkel in the end.
Lunch was equally disappointing: a small ham and salad roll with an apple, eaten off the tailgate of the same rusty trailer.
The island itself was stunning, but the tour was unsafe, disorganised, and a complete waste of money. Avoid this company at all costs — it’s not worth the risk or the disappointment.
翻译:我们预订这次旅行原本期待在一个美丽的小岛上享受一天的浮潜乐趣,结果却成了我们经历过的最糟糕的旅行。
交通工具极其不可靠——一辆又旧又脏的卡车,连安全带都坏了。从一开始就感觉很不安全。我们的“导游”试图更改行程,坚持说我们报名的是滑沙而不是浮潜,然后又声称由于潮汐原因,时间不够完成原定的行程。直到我们据理力争,指出我们付的是浮潜的钱(并给他看了邮件作为证据),他才勉强同意按原计划进行。
到了岛上之后,情况变得更糟。在往返灯塔的30多分钟车程中,他像疯子一样开车,完全不顾乘客在卡车后厢里被颠簸摇晃、难以保持平衡的状况。更糟糕的是,他竟然忘了带装着所有浮潜装备的拖车钥匙,我们其中一人不得不爬过一个狭窄的缝隙才能把装备拿出来。
浮潜装备本身就令人作呕——生锈、肮脏,显然没有在使用前后进行清洗。面镜带子断了,备用的也生锈了,所以我们最后连浮潜都做不到。
午餐同样令人失望:一个小小的火腿沙拉卷配一个苹果,就在那辆生锈拖车的后挡板上吃的。
岛屿本身景色优美,但这次旅行既不安全,又组织混乱,完全是浪费钱。千万不要选择这家公司——不值得冒这个险,也不会让你失望。
