点评:Excellent experience with the local guide and tour business owner Jimmy C. Skilled driving and it only took us 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to the Penguins. The journey went from paved road, to rougher road to bog land free wheeling. But the driver and Land Rover made the ride enjoyable although I couldn't always see over the dashboard.
Do not fret like I did that you will not make it back to your ship in time. You will. I would actually book through Jimmy directly, or Viator as he says the better drivers are locals that he hires, for both their driving and tour guide skills. I will see if I can find his direct booking info but up you can Google him. I think his last name was Curtis.
The King Penguins are quite majestic with their coloring but they are loud. We saw this year's chicks as well as the juvenile chicks born last year. We saw adults still egg incubating eggs as well as their huge eggs that had been abandoned. You will also see other penguin species, go down to the shoreline, doing the penguin march. Sorry, I am too lazy to look up the correct spelling for the other 2 species.
So, unless you do an Antartic Expedition to see the Emperor Penguins, the Kings are much more accessible and you will not be cold. Dress for wind protection more than cold. Also, lots of sheep, penguin and geese poo so wear shoes/boots that elevate you off the ground a bit.
A great day, history of Stanley and the Falklands, the birds and the war. Go.
翻译:与当地导游兼旅行社老板吉米·C的合作体验非常棒。他驾驶技术娴熟,我们只用了1小时20分钟就到达了企鹅栖息地。沿途路况复杂,从铺装路面到崎岖不平的道路,最后进入了沼泽地,可以自由驰骋。虽然我有时看不到仪表盘,但司机和路虎车让整个旅程充满乐趣。
别像我一样担心赶不上回船,你肯定能及时赶上。我建议直接通过吉米预订,或者通过Viator预订,因为他说他雇佣的当地人驾驶技术更好,导游服务也更出色。我会看看能不能找到他的直接预订信息,你也可以在网上搜索他。我记得他姓柯蒂斯。
帝企鹅的羽毛色彩非常华丽,但它们叫声很大。我们看到了今年出生的小企鹅,也看到了去年出生的幼企鹅。我们还看到了正在孵蛋的成年企鹅,以及它们被遗弃的巨型蛋。你还会看到其他种类的企鹅,走到岸边,看看企鹅们是如何列队行进的。抱歉,我懒得查另外两种企鹅的正确拼写了。
所以,除非你参加南极探险去看帝企鹅,否则观赏王企鹅要容易得多,而且你也不会觉得冷。穿衣时主要考虑防风而不是保暖。另外,这里有很多羊、企鹅和鹅的粪便,所以最好穿鞋底稍高的鞋子/靴子。
这将是美好的一天,了解斯坦利和福克兰群岛的历史,观赏各种鸟类,了解战争。去吧!
