点评:White water rafted the Penobscot River Labor Day Weekend with Northern Outdoors and honestly had one of the BEST rafting experience we have ever had. We have rafted many different rivers with many different companies/guides (including this very river and other trips with this company in the past). We have enjoyed almost every one of them, but this one by far - overall, start to finish was the best. We were a little nervous to be honest because we ended up in a smaller group (only 5 guests in total) and with a younger female guide - these types of trips we have learned can tend to be a little "less", mainly because there is less collective power in the raft to get into & hit the spots the way they need to be hit. BUT that was not at all the case this time, Molly was AMAZING & all 5 of us worked super well together paddling & listening to her commands, which were clear & concise- we legit hit EVERY rapid, EVERY surf and had just an awesome time - she was FANTASTIC and next time we raft with them again, we WILL be requesting her - and I suggest if you go, you do too!
I also loved that this time around all the guests were offered an option to modify the trip for comfort. It ended up being a cooler day than I think quite a few from some of the other groups anticipated and they were offered the option of ending their adventure a bit sooner if they preferred- the crew devised a way to help get them back to shore & back to base camp earlier in the trip - which we also have NEVER seen happen before & I just thought that was really, really cool of them to do. They even brought out a gas motor & tied the rafts together to help power through one of the longer, calmer sections towards the end so that those of us who wanted to continue through to the end could get through there quicker with those cooler temps. The photos and videos were also AWESOME & separated by guide so very easy to get your groups pics. Just a really, really great trip all around.
Highly, highly recommend this company!
翻译:劳动节周末,我们跟随Northern Outdoors公司在佩诺布斯科特河上体验了白水漂流。说实话,这是我们经历过的最棒的漂流体验之一。我们曾与多家公司/导游一起在无数条河流上漂流过(包括这条河以及之前与该公司进行的其他漂流之旅)。几乎每次体验都让我们乐在其中,但这次绝对是从头到尾最出色的一次。说实话,我们一开始有点紧张——因为我们被分到了一个较小的团队(总共只有5名游客),而且女向导还很年轻。我们了解到,这类行程往往效果会稍差一些,主要是因为整个团队的力量不够集中,难以按照预期方式操控皮划艇并到达目标地点。但这次完全不是如此:莫莉表现得极其出色,我们五个人配合默契,一起划桨并认真听从她的指挥。说明清晰且简洁——我们确实经历了每一处急流、每一波浪,度过了极其愉快的时光。她表现得棒极了!下次我们再参加他们的漂流活动,一定会指定要她来带队。我建议各位去体验的话也这么做吧!
我也很喜欢这次活动中的一个安排:所有参与者都有机会根据自身舒适度来调整行程。最终,那天的天气比我认为其他几个团队预想的要凉爽得多。他们也被给予选择:如果愿意的话,可以提前结束冒险之旅。队员们想出了办法,帮助这些人更早地返回岸边和大本营——这种事我们以前也从未见过。我觉得他们能做到这一点真的非常棒、非常酷。他们甚至拿出汽油发动机,把多个筏子绑在一起,以此助力船只穿越那段较长的航程。在行程末尾安排了较为凉爽的路段,这样我们这些想坚持走完全程的人就能在温度适宜的条件下更快通过那里。照片和视频也棒极了,而且按导游分类得井然有序,因此很容易为团队拍摄合影。总而言之,这是一次非常非常棒的旅行。
强烈推荐这家公司!
