点评:I highly recommend doing this tour. The clear kayaks made it magical. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience for us and I’m so glad we did it.
Some things to keep in mind, the kayaks are 2-person so if you have an odd number group, one of you will go with a stranger. You need to be able to coordinate movement with your kayak partner.
There is a very bumpy ride to the site in a van. The driver did his best to make it as comfortable as possible.
You have to stick with the tour group the entire time. This can create issues if one or two kayaks can’t stay with the group. There were multiple guides so one guide would wrangle up the wayward people.
It is dark out and can sometimes be difficult to see where you’re going.
Don’t worry about getting wet. I wore pants and a long sleeved swim shirt. You only get in the water up to your ankles. You do not wear shoes to/from or in the kayak.
There is no bathroom at the meeting or kayak site.
The guides were great and demonstrated how to kayak in case you’ve never been. I was nervous but once I was in the water was fine. Later they told us that the water is only a few feet deep. The water was completely still.
Make sure to go as close to the new moon (no visible moon) as possible for the best views.
You can bring your phone but it’s almost impossible to capture the bioluminescence in photos or video.
The bioluminescence was different from what I expected and it’s hard to explain it. You have to see for yourself.
If you’re planning on doing a group bioluminescence tour, I highly recommend this company. The clear kayaks make a difference.
That said, if I was to do it again, I would try to find a private tour with clear kayaks. This is mostly due to the difficulty of some people to stay with the group and follow directions. This has nothing to do with our guides or this tour company and is absolutely not their fault. Their instructions were very clear.
翻译:我强烈推荐参加这个旅游项目。透明的皮划艇让整个体验变得如梦似幻。对我们来说,这真是一生仅有一次的宝贵经历,我很庆幸我们选择了它。
有几点需要注意:皮划艇是双人用的,所以如果团队人数为奇数,就会有人不得不与陌生人组队。此外,你需要能与同船的伙伴协调动作。前往景点的途中需要乘坐面包车,路面相当颠簸;不过司机已尽最大努力让行程尽可能舒适。整个过程中你必须始终跟紧旅游团。如果有一两艘皮划艇无法跟上大部队,就可能引发问题。不过有多名向导在场,他们会负责把掉队的人重新聚集起来。
外面很黑,有时很难看清前方的路。
不必担心被弄湿。我穿了长裤和长袖泳衣,实际上水只没到脚踝而已。上下皮划艇时以及坐在皮划艇上时都不需要穿鞋。
集合地点和皮划艇活动点都没有卫生间。导游们非常出色,还演示了如何划皮划艇——即便你从未有过相关经验。我一开始有些紧张,但下水后就没什么问题了。后来他们告诉我们,水深其实只有几英尺而已。水面也完全平静无波。
为了获得最佳观赏效果,请尽量选择接近新月之时前往(即看不到月亮的夜晚)。
你可以带上手机,但几乎不可能用照片或视频捕捉到那些发光现象。这种生物发光现象与我预想的并不一样,很难用言语形容。你们必须亲自去看看才行。
如果你们打算参加团体生物发光观赏之旅,我极力推荐这家公司。他们提供的透明皮划艇确实别具特色。
不过,如果让我重新选择的话,我会试着找一家提供透明皮划艇的私人定制之旅。主要是因为有些人很难紧跟团队步伐并听从指挥。这与我们的导游或这家旅行社毫无关系,绝对不是他们的错。他们的指示非常明确。
