点评:What a beautiful day on the Atlantic Ocean on our Marine Safari to Dassen Island
We were met by Alan & Zandie at the Harbour for our safety briefing then putting on our life jackets boarding the new state of the art vessel. Allan gave us all the information on our Marine Journey to the island and what we expected to see.
Immediately after leaving the harbour it started and for three hours we were bombarded with marine wildlife in their natural habitat a Pod of Dolphins, Whale, Sun Fish, Seals, Penguins, Terns, Oystercatcher & Cormorant to name but a few.
Alan’s knowledge of the area and the history of Dassen island was very interesting and informative with current pictures of the island compared to 80 years ago when is was covered with a healthy colony of breeding African Penguins who’s colony used to be in the Millions but sadly reduced to a few thousand over the years due to man.
For me the highlight was the returning rookery of Seals probably 100+ Harry the Humpback Whale who decided to make an appearance while we were sat discussing the penguins and the beautiful sunfish on our return to harbour.
The raw beauty of the area was fantastic and we didn’t want the trip to end. For me a 10/10 and a MUST if you are visiting the area.
Huge Thanks to Harry & Zandie we felt welcomed and in good hands from start to finish. We will definitely book again when we are back.
Thanks John & Joanne

我们在港口与艾伦和赞迪会面,他们为我们进行了安全简报,之后我们穿上救生衣,登上了这艘全新的现代化游船。艾伦向我们详细介绍了前往岛屿的海洋之旅以及我们将会看到的景象。
游船驶离港口后,旅程立即开始,在接下来的三个小时里,我们被各种海洋野生动物的自然栖息地所震撼,其中包括一群海豚、鲸鱼、翻车鱼、海豹、企鹅、燕鸥、蛎鹬和鸬鹚等等。
艾伦对这片海域和达森岛的历史了如指掌,他向我们展示了岛屿现在的照片,并与80年前的景象进行了对比。80年前,岛上曾是非洲企鹅的健康栖息地,数量一度达到数百万只,但令人惋惜的是,由于人类活动,这些企鹅的数量近年来锐减至几千只。
对我来说,此行的亮点是海豹群的回归,大概有100多只。还有座头鲸哈利,它在我们返回港口途中,一边讨论企鹅和美丽的翻车鱼一边突然出现。
这片区域的原始美景令人叹为观止,我们真希望旅程永不结束。对我来说,这趟旅程绝对值得10/10分,如果你来这里,一定要来!
非常感谢哈利和赞迪,从始至终我们都感到宾至如归,得到了很好的照顾。下次再来,我们一定会再次预订。
谢谢约翰和乔安妮
