点评:Richie, the owner of Delta Discovery Tours, took us out for an amazing boat tour of the Mississippi River’s Bird Foot Delta! If you are hoping to experience and learn about the natural and cultural history of this unique area this is a once in a lifetime experience for you. It’s obvious that Richie loves this area and is willing to share his deep knowledge and passion with visitors.
The tour exceeded our expectations in wildlife viewings, birding, and seeing first hand the Mississippi River’s important shipping role in this Delta Area. We learned about the habitat of the area, dredging, history of Pilot Island, Mile Zero on the Mississippi River, fishing, bird migrations. We encountered a pair of dolphins that swam with our boat, a rosette spoon bill, pelicans and so many more unique plants and wildlife that make their home here. We even found a sealed message in a bottle on a remote sand beach!!!
Even though we boated miles into the Delta, we felt safe. Delta Discover Tours boat is stable, comfortable, has a canopy to shield from the sun and easy to get on and off for bathroom stops and exploring.
And, also consider staying at the “Writer’s Cabin” before and after your Discovery Tour!
All in all, without question great value for your $. We highly recommend!
翻译:三角洲探索之旅(Delta Discovery Tours)的老板里奇(Richie)带我们进行了一次精彩绝伦的密西西比河鸟足三角洲(Bird Foot Delta)游船之旅!如果您渴望体验并了解这片独特区域的自然和文化历史,这将是一次千载难逢的体验。里奇显然热爱这片土地,并乐于与游客分享他渊博的知识和满腔的热情。
这次旅行远超我们的预期,我们不仅观赏到了丰富的野生动物,还看到了各种鸟类,并亲眼目睹了密西西比河在三角洲地区重要的航运作用。我们了解了该地区的栖息地、疏浚作业、飞行员岛(Pilot Island)的历史、密西西比河的零英里起点、渔业以及鸟类迁徙等知识。我们遇到了一对与我们的船一同游泳的海豚、一只玫瑰琵鹭、鹈鹕以及许多其他栖息于此的独特动植物。我们甚至在一处偏僻的沙滩上发现了一个密封的漂流瓶!
尽管我们乘船深入三角洲数英里,但我们始终感到安全。 Delta Discover Tours 的游船平稳舒适,配有遮阳篷,上下船也很方便,方便您上厕所和游览。
此外,您还可以考虑在探索之旅前后入住“作家小屋”!
总而言之,绝对物超所值。我们强烈推荐!
