Petra Island Tour Quite Enjoyable Frank Lloyd Wright buildings
Petra Island Tours的点评
点评：We went on the Petra Island Tour in September 2026. We enjoyed it and appreciated the friendliness of the people involved. Here's the story (sorry it is so long):
We were scheduled for the 12PM Saturday tour. We were in NYC and it's about an hour and 40 minute drive away. However, we had issues with the car rental company (had a reservation but they didn't have a car - how Seinfeld!). Donna had called in the morning to confirm we were coming and reminded us the boat leaves right at noon. I had to call her back later and tell her we might not make it. Donna said she'd hold the boat for 5 minutes but no longer which is fair, others were on the tour. We arrived at 12:04PM and Donna was waiting to show us where to park. We apologized to the others on the tour and we got on the boat and headed to the island.
It's about a 10 minute trip on a small pontoon style boat. Refreshments are not provided but you can bring your own water or soda as long as you are careful.
Donna told us a little about the area. When we arrived at the home, her father Joe met us and took us into the cottage which was built during Frank Lloyd Wright's life. He explained about the island, how the prior owner in the 1940s contacted Wright and had him come out to make plans for the home. The cottage was built and the plans for the home were made. I won't get into more detail about these things as that's all in the tour.
We then were brought into the home which the Massimo family had built using the FLW plans which they live in. We were taken through almost all areas of the home. Joe, who had the home built in 2008, talked about some of the experiences and then ran a 3-D image video of himself talking about his personal history, how he ended up buying the island, how he built the house and the various challenges he had including with the Frank Lloyd Wright foundation. While some might find the details a bit much, it was interesting and it runs less than 15 minutes.
Joe then took us outside to view other portions of the home (ask him about the ice trucker experience while building the house) and back inside where Donna took over and lead us through the various bedrooms and other features. At the end, they let us roam the home and property for about 10-15 minutes before heading back to the boat. There is a bathroom in the home for guests to use.
I was particularly impressed by the various materials used. The woods in the home are very handsome and some of the construction techniques are interesting to hear about, such as how the cantilever was done without structural steel.
The home is very well maintained as they do live there for much of the year. The tours usually stop at the end of October and start up again a few months later, depending on the weather.
The entire tour, not including the boat each way, lasted just under 90 minutes. The price is not cheap, $150 per person, but I'd say particularly for those who appreciate Frank Lloyd Wright's work, it's worth it.
After the tour, we went across the street to Dino's Coffee Shop. They have sandwiches, desserts, crepes, coffee and more. We had a light snack (coffee, toasted bagel and a meat Burek which is like a very large rectangular empanada but with flaky pastry) and it was quite good. You can eat in, there are a few tables, or take out.

翻译：我们在2026年9月参加了佩特拉岛之旅。我们玩得很开心，也深深感受到了工作人员的友善与热情。以下是整个经历的详细记录（不好意思，有点长）：
我们预定的是周六中午12点的行程。当时我们在纽约市，开车前往那里大约需要1小时40分钟。不过，我们在租车公司遇到了些麻烦——虽然我们提前预订了车辆，但他们却没有车可租——真是典型的“宋飞正传”式状况啊！唐娜早上还打电话来确认我们会出席，并提醒我们游船中午准时出发。后来我不得不给她打电话，告诉她我们可能赶不上了。唐娜说她会把游船停留5分钟，但不会更久，这也合情合理，因为还有其他游客也在等待。我们在中午12点04分到达，唐娜已在那里等着，指引我们停车。我们向其他游客道了歉，随后登上游船，前往岛屿。
乘坐小型浮筒式游船大约需要10分钟。船上不提供饮料，但只要小心谨慎，您可以自带水或汽水。唐娜向我们简要介绍了这一地区。当我们到达那所房子时，她的父亲乔接待了我们，并带我们进入那座建于弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特在世期间的小屋。他向我们讲述了这座岛屿的来历，以及20世纪40年代时前任屋主是如何联系赖特，请他来为这栋房子设计方案的。小屋最终建成，房屋的设计方案也得以实现。关于这些细节我就不多说了，因为所有内容都会在导览中介绍。随后，我们被带进了马西莫一家按照弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特的设计图建造并居住的房子。我们参观了房子的几乎每一个区域。乔在2008年委托建造了这栋房子，他讲述了自己的一些经历，随后播放了一段他亲自出镜的3D视频。在视频中，他介绍了自己的个人背景、是如何买下这座岛屿的、又如何建造了这所房子，以及他所遇到的各种挑战，其中包括与弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会之间的问题。虽然有些人可能会觉得这些细节有些多余，但内容还是挺有趣的，整个讲解过程不到15分钟。
随后，乔带我们到屋外参观房子的其他部分（可以问问他在建房时作为“冰车司机”的体验），之后我们又回到屋内，由唐娜带领我们参观各个卧室及其他设施。最后，他们允许我们在房子及周围区域自由游览约10到15分钟，随后便返回游艇。房子里还设有一间供客人使用的卫生间。令我印象最深刻的便是所使用的各种材料。房子里的木制品非常漂亮，一些建造技术也相当有趣，比如他们是如何在不使用结构钢的情况下实现悬臂结构的。
由于屋主们一年中的大部分时间都住在那里，所以这栋房子保养得很好。参观活动通常在10月底结束，之后会根据天气情况在几个月后重新开启。
整个参观过程——不算来回乘船的时间——耗时不到90分钟。价格不算便宜，每人150美元，但我认为对于那些欣赏弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特作品的人来说，这个价钱是物有所值的。
参观结束后，我们穿过马路去了Dino’s咖啡店。那里有三明治、甜点、可丽饼、咖啡等等。我们简单吃了点东西——咖啡、烤贝果，还有一种类似大号长方形馅饼的肉馅布里克，外皮酥脆，味道相当不错。店内有一些桌子可供堂食，也可以打包带走。
