点评:4 couples booked for a guided Kayak tour, from Marahau to Watering Cove. Met up with our Guide, Jasper, who showed us the "ins and outs" of double Kayaks. (We were hoping for more "ins" than "outs"!)
Kitted out with all our gear - skirts, life-jackets, paddles, waterproof bags and shown the storage compartments. Down to the beach to launch our kayaks and off we went. Perfect day for it; still, calm, glassy and warm, with a light cloud cover.
Paddled up the coastline; bays, beaches, points and promontories, caves and tunnels. Quick trip out to Motuareronui Island / Adele Island, for a look at New Zealand Fur seals and pups. Spectacular.
Back to the mainland at Watering Bay for a Barista Style coffee, on the beach, courtesy of Jasper, before he left us with all kayaks in tow, heading back whence he came.
We then walked over the Headland to the DoC site at Anchorage Bay to wait for the next part of our adventure.
Ratings out of 5: The Company 5, Guide 5, Equipment 5, Organisation 5, Value for money 5.
Would I do it again... in a heartbeat! Would I recommend it, definitely.
You do not have to be super fit, probably "active" would be the best choice to describe it.
翻译:我们四对夫妇预订了从马拉豪 (Marahau) 到沃特林湾 (Watering Cove) 的皮划艇导览之旅。与我们的向导贾斯珀 (Jasper) 会合后,他向我们详细讲解了双人皮划艇的使用方法。(我们原本希望他讲解的更多是“使用方法”而不是“使用技巧”!)
我们穿戴好所有装备——救生裙、救生衣、船桨、防水袋,他还向我们展示了皮划艇的储物空间。之后我们来到海滩,将皮划艇放入水中,然后出发了。这真是完美的一天:风平浪静,海面如镜,温暖宜人,只有薄薄的云层。
我们沿着海岸线划行,途经海湾、沙滩、岬角、海岬、洞穴和隧道。我们还短暂地前往了莫图阿雷罗努伊岛/阿黛尔岛 (Motuareronui Island / Adele Island),观赏了新西兰毛皮海豹和幼崽。景色蔚为壮观。
回到沃特林湾后,我们在海滩边享用了贾斯珀为我们准备的咖啡师手冲咖啡。之后,他带着所有皮划艇,启程返回出发地。
之后,我们步行穿过岬角,前往安克雷奇湾的环保部(DoC)营地,等待接下来的探险之旅。
评分(满分5分):公司5分,向导5分,装备5分,组织5分,性价比5分。
我会再次参加吗?当然会!我会推荐吗?绝对会!
你不需要体能超群,或许用“活力四射”来形容这次旅行最为贴切。
