点评:I did two tours with Metta Eco Experiences. First was a tour to Hotham Sound to Harmony Falls. The second was a nighttime bioluminescence kayak tour near Skookumchuck Narrows. Both left from Egmont. Greg and Meriel were great guides, very attuned to the natural world. On the first tour, we stopped on a small island and had a box lunch. The water was pretty choppy on the return but we were under a Bimini top and the boat had a windshield, so we didn't get really wet.
The second tour starts around 8:30pm, with an instructional course on using a kayak (I've never been on one). It's not tippy at all, but rowing does take some practice to get the rhythm in sync. We saw the plankton that create the bioluminescence, which was cool. Rowing with the tide on the return is definitely easier than against it in the beginning!
Both excursions were fun, though completely different.
翻译:我参加了Metta Eco Experiences的两次旅行。第一次是前往霍瑟姆湾(Hotham Sound)的和谐瀑布(Harmony Falls)之旅。第二次是斯库库姆查克海峡(Skookumchuck Narrows)附近的夜间生物发光皮划艇之旅。两次旅行都从埃格蒙特(Egmont)出发。格雷格(Greg)和梅里尔(Meriel)是非常棒的向导,他们对自然界非常了解。第一次旅行中,我们在一个小岛上停留,享用了盒装午餐。返程时水面比较颠簸,但我们有遮阳篷,而且船有挡风玻璃,所以并没有被水打湿。
第二次旅行大约在晚上8:30开始,包含一个皮划艇使用指导课程(我以前从未划过)。皮划艇一点也不摇晃,但划桨确实需要一些练习才能找到节奏。我们看到了产生生物发光的浮游生物,非常酷。返程顺流划桨肯定比一开始逆流划桨要容易得多!
两次旅行都很有趣,虽然风格迥异。
