点评:We arranged transport from our hotel to the boat and it cost us an extra $45 pp. It was a 40-minute transfer (each way) from downtown Port of Spain. We arrived, waited to be called, and climbed aboard an open boat with 38 other people. We got lucky and got a seat at one edge.
We spent 2 hours and 40 minutes coasting along the swamp canals, and saw very little. And if we did spot something, it was typically too far away. Luckily we had binoculars with us, but it wasn't exciting.
Finally got to an area with large flocks of flamingoes, but we never got close. All photos turned out with just little pink polka dots.
The highlight was seeing scarlet ibis. It is past nesting season so all we saw were flocks of about 10 birds flying high overhead. Yes, they look very red, but we were very disappointed we never got a good view of one.
Overall, we were very disappointed; not worth the 5+ hours it took out of our afternoon and evening. If we went again, I would look for a private option. We saw one other boat out that had just a family (in a smaller boat).
翻译:我们安排了从酒店到船上的交通,每人额外花费 45 美元。从西班牙港市中心出发,单程需 40 分钟。我们到达后,等待叫号,然后和其他 38 个人一起登上了一艘敞篷船。我们很幸运,得到了一个靠边的座位。
我们花了 2 小时 40 分钟沿着沼泽运河航行,几乎什么也没看到。即使看到了什么,通常也离得太远了。幸运的是,我们带了双筒望远镜,但结果并不令人兴奋。
终于到达了一个有大量火烈鸟群的区域,但我们从未靠近过。所有照片都只是一些粉红色的小圆点。
最精彩的是看到了朱鹮。现在已经过了筑巢季节,所以我们只看到大约 10 只鸟群在头顶高空飞翔。是的,它们看起来很红,但我们非常失望,因为我们没有看到一只完整的鸟。
总的来说,我们非常失望;不值得我们下午和晚上花了5个多小时。如果我们再去的话,我会找个私人的。我们看到另一艘船,船上只有一个家庭(在一艘较小的船上)。
