点评:My teen daughters and I had an incredible 3 day trip with North Island Kayak! Our guides, Becky and Leanna, were an absolute delight! They are incredibly fun, passionate about wildlife, deeply knowledgeable, and all around amazing people. Co-guide Ava was also amazing and we felt extremely safe and well cared for from start to finish.
When the weather didn't cooperate for our intended itinerary, North Island went truly above and beyond to give us an even better experience than we were expecting. Their partner company, Prince of Whales Whale Watching, took us out on a 3 hour whale watch tour, and dropped us off at our campsite since the wind was too strong for us to paddle across the Johnston Straight. This turned out to be such an unexpected blessing, as our whale watch guide Logan was such a gem and we saw so much more of the area- and whale hotspots- than we would have otherwise. We got to see countless humpbacks (including a mom and calf right off of our campsites beach), orca, and even a rare Minke, who put on quite a show for us.
We loved every moment of our trip and cannot wait to return! Big thank your to the entire team at North Island Kayak for making our weekend trip so amazing and pulling out all the stops!
翻译:我和十几岁的女儿们与North Island Kayak一起度过了一段难忘的三天旅程!我们的导游贝基和莉安娜简直太棒了!她们风趣幽默,对野生动物充满热情,知识渊博,完全是令人钦佩的人。另一位向导艾娃也同样出色,整个旅程中我们都感到无比安全,也得到了无微不至的照顾。
当我们原定的行程因天气原因无法实施时……North Island公司真的竭尽全力,为我们带来了远超预期的体验。他们的合作伙伴Prince of Whales观鲸公司带我们进行了一次为期3小时的观鲸之旅;由于风力过大,我们无法划船穿越约翰斯顿海峡,于是他们便将我们送到了露营地。这其实算是一个意外的惊喜——我们的观鲸向导洛根非常出色,我们也因此看到了比原计划中更多的地方以及鲸鱼常出没的区域。我们目睹了无数头座头鲸(其中有一对母子鲸就出现在我们露营地附近的海面上),还有虎鲸,甚至还有一只极为罕见的小须鲸,它们为我们上演了一场精彩绝伦的“表演”。
我们享受着这次旅行的每一刻,迫不及待想要故地重游!衷心感谢North Island Kayak的全体成员,是你们让我们的周末之旅如此精彩纷呈、难忘至极!
