点评:A very well-organised, thorough, value for money boat tour of the Farne Islands and Lindisfarne. I worried they would cut short the part around the Farnes, but not at all - we had an excellent and thorough visit, including plenty of time in the area where the seals were most active. We were too late for the tern colonies and other nesting birds, but the skipper pointed out all the birds which were present, and we also spotted a lot of juvenile birds later in the voyage, which had not yet migrated.
Lindisfarne was great, although shops/some attractions close at high tide (Shiel’s warned of this in advance), and it is a nice time to take a walk around.
Staff we met were all pleasant and courteous, and the boat commentary was excellent. I contacted Shiel’s in advance of booking, to ask about birding opportunities, and received a prompt, friendly and informative response. Not much more I can say, other than we had a great trip which was well worth the money, and we would recommend Shiel’s unreservedly.
翻译:这是一次组织有序、内容详实且物有所值的乘船游览,带我们游览了法恩群岛和林迪斯法恩岛。我原本担心行程中会缩短在法恩群岛附近的游览时间,但完全没有这种情况——我们享受了一次非常出色且全面的游览体验,还有大量时间在海豹最活跃的区域停留。虽然我们去得有点晚,没能看到燕鸥群落及其他筑巢的鸟类,但船长为我们指认了所有能看到的鸟类;后来在航行过程中,我们还发现了许多幼鸟。那些尚未迁徙的鸟群。
林迪斯法恩岛很不错,不过在涨潮时部分商店和景点会关闭(Shiel’s事先就提醒过这一点),此时正是四处散步的好时机。
我们遇到的工作人员都很友善且有礼貌,船上的讲解也非常精彩。我在预订前联系了Shiel’s,询问观鸟的可能性,很快就得到了热情且信息丰富的回复。除了这次旅行十分愉快且物有所值之外,我也没什么可说的了。我们毫无保留地推荐Shiel。
