点评:I had an overall very good stay at the hotel and a truly memorable experience at the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve. I was lucky enough to see turtles during both the evening tour and the sunrise tour, which made the visit very special.
The evening tour, in particular, was excellent: well organized, informative, and led by a knowledgeable guide who explained a lot about the turtles and their behavior. It felt professional and engaging.
Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the sunrise tour. Although we did eventually see a turtle that had just finished laying her eggs—which was still emotional and beautiful—the overall experience did not match the quality of the evening tour.
It felt like there was less effort put into the sunrise experience, possibly because it was only me and my boyfriend attending (other guests chose not to join). The guide, while kind, spoke very little English and did not provide any explanations or additional context, unlike the evening guide.
Additionally, while it was still dark, the guide used a regular flashlight instead of a red light, which is less disturbing for the animals (as was correctly done during the evening tour). There also seemed to be no coordination with other rangers to locate turtles along the beach, and the tour felt more like a simple walk hoping to spot something.
Since both tours are priced the same, I would expect the same level of quality, effort, and professionalism in both experiences.
Overall, I am still happy I visited and grateful for the chance to see the turtles twice, but I believe the sunrise tour could be significantly improved. I also add that unfortunately the beach was full of plastics :(
翻译:我在酒店的住宿体验总体来说非常好,在拉斯金兹海龟保护区的经历也令人难忘。我很幸运地在夜间和日出之旅中都看到了海龟,这让这次旅行格外特别。
尤其是夜间之旅,非常棒:组织有序,内容丰富,导游知识渊博,详细讲解了海龟及其习性。整个过程既专业又引人入胜。
可惜的是,我对日出之旅相当失望。虽然我们最终确实看到了一只刚刚产完卵的海龟——那场面依然令人感动和美丽——但整体体验远不及夜间之旅。
感觉日出之旅的安排不够用心,可能是因为只有我和我的男朋友参加(其他客人没有选择参加)。导游虽然很友善,但英语水平有限,也没有像夜间之旅的导游那样提供任何解释或补充信息。
此外,在天色仍然昏暗的情况下,导游使用的是普通手电筒而不是红光灯,而红光灯对动物的干扰较小(夜间之旅就使用了正确的红光灯)。似乎也没有与其他护林员协调合作,在海滩上寻找海龟,整个行程感觉更像是一次简单的散步,碰碰运气看能不能看到什么。
既然两个行程价格相同,我期望它们在质量、投入程度和专业性方面都能保持一致。
总的来说,我仍然很高兴这次旅行,也很感激有机会两次看到海龟,但我认为日出之旅还有很大的改进空间。另外,很遗憾,海滩上到处都是塑料垃圾 :(
