点评:What an amazing experience we had with Aihe Wildlife cruises. Furhana was fabulous and incredibly helpful from the first time we spoke to her. We had intended to explore all that Stewart Island had to offer, including lots of walking tracks, but my husband tore his hamstring just before we arrived, making walking any distance too painful.
Furhana was so kind, going out her way to sort out activities that meant we could still experience this gem of an island.
We went on the 3 hour wildlife cruise and were blown away by all that we saw, including pengiuns and three different types of albatross, White Capped, Salvin's and a Southern Royal. Furhana skippered and guided the cruise. She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife, as well as a skilled skipper. She made sure that everyone had the best opportunity to see the wildlife and take photographs. It was a truly memorable experience, with everyone buzzing from their encounters when we got back to shore.
We had also intended to join one of the guided walks over to Ulva Island, but weren't sure how much of the walk my husband would be able to manage. With absolutely no pressure, Furhana suggested going over on the boat and deciding when we got there, whether to do the guided tour or to just use the boat as a water taxi there and back. We didn't want to hold up the group, so ended up exploring at our own pace, with Sandi, the guide, giving us pointers on the best track to take and what to look out for. We were lucky enough to see two kiwi still out foraging and the group also saw saddkebacks, as well as a myirad of other birds and sea lions.
We cannot thank Furhana for her kindness and thoughtfulness throughout our stay in Stewart Island, making it a really unforgettable experience. Would definitely recommend anyone to join her trips. You won't be disappointed!
翻译:我们参加艾赫野生动物游轮之旅真是太棒了!从我们第一次联系到弗哈娜(Furhana)开始,她就非常热情周到,帮了我们很多忙。我们原本计划探索斯图尔特岛(Stewart Island)的所有景点,包括许多徒步路线,但我的丈夫在抵达前不久拉伤了腿筋,走远路都成了奢望。
弗哈娜非常贴心,她尽力安排各种活动,让我们仍然能够体验这座岛屿的魅力。
我们参加了3小时的野生动物游轮之旅,沿途的景象让我们叹为观止,包括企鹅和三种不同的信天翁:白顶信天翁、萨尔文信天翁和南皇家信天翁。弗哈娜亲自担任船长和导游。她不仅知识渊博,对野生动物充满热情,而且驾驶技术精湛。她确保每个人都有最佳机会观赏野生动物并拍照留念。这是一次真正令人难忘的体验,回到岸上后,每个人都兴奋地谈论着各自的所见所闻。
我们原本也打算参加一个前往乌尔瓦岛的导览徒步之旅,但不确定我丈夫能走多远。弗哈娜完全没有给我们任何压力,建议我们先乘船过去,到了之后再决定是参加导览团还是只坐船往返。我们不想耽误大家的时间,所以最终决定按照自己的节奏探索,导游桑迪会给我们推荐最佳路线和值得一看的动物。我们很幸运地看到了两只还在觅食的奇异鸟,其他游客也看到了鞍背鸟,以及无数其他鸟类和海狮。
我们非常感谢弗哈娜在我们斯图尔特岛逗留期间的热情款待和周到安排,这让我们拥有了一段难忘的回忆。强烈推荐大家参加她的旅行团,绝对不会让您失望!
