点评:Swim with whale sharks, attempt 1 - it was overcast with intermittent rain. When raining it was cold out on the boat. We spent four hours looking for a whale shark without any luck. Not a lot of fun but we could not fault the efforts of the staff who kept trying despite the inclement weather. My one suggestion would be that, on bad weather days, they provide some comfort to the customers, e.g. provide lightweight rain capes, hot coffee or dry towels.
Swim with whale sharks, attempt 2 - much nicer day and so it was a more pleasant experience to be out on a boat for hours without seeing a whale shark. However, we finally got lucky and one was found. We jumped in and this magnificent creature leisurely swam below us but was gone in seconds. Some tour groups would have said that this was job done, but Afro Whale Shark Safari did not. They continued looking and son found another. This time, it was moving slower and nearer the surface. We managed to make three entries and must have swam alongside it for about 40 minutes in total. It really was an experience worth the wait and I'd recommend it to anyone's bucket list.
翻译:与鲸鲨共游,第一次尝试——当天阴天,时不时下着小雨。下雨时,船上很冷。我们花了四个小时寻找鲸鲨,却一无所获。虽然没什么乐趣,但工作人员的努力值得称赞,尽管天气恶劣,他们仍然坚持不懈。我建议,在天气不好的日子里,他们应该为游客提供一些舒适的用品,例如轻便的雨披、热咖啡或干毛巾。
与鲸鲨共游,第二次尝试——天气晴朗得多,所以即使几个小时都没看到鲸鲨,也算是一种愉快的体验。不过,我们最终还是幸运地发现了一条。我们跳入水中,这条雄伟的生物悠闲地在我们下方游动,但几秒钟后就消失了。有些旅行团可能会觉得任务完成了,但非洲鲸鲨探险之旅并没有。他们继续寻找,很快又发现了一条。这一次,它游得更慢,也更靠近水面。我们成功地游了三次,总共在河边游了大约40分钟。这真是一次值得等待的体验,我强烈推荐大家把它列入人生必做清单。
