Unsafe Pace, No Guidance, and an Early Finish in Harsh Arctic Conditions
Spitzbergen Adventures的点评
点评:This was a deeply disappointing and unsafe experience.
The tour was advertised as running from 17:00 to 21:00, but it ended before 20:00, with no explanation or compensation.
Weather conditions were extremely harsh — strong wind and heavy snow — yet the guide walked at an unreasonably fast pace, showing no concern for participants’ physical condition. As a result, both my friend and I experienced sudden dizziness and hypoglycemia, and I personally slipped and hit my forehead during the hike.
The tour description stated that the guide would introduce the surroundings and provide explanations during the hike, but there was no explanation at all. Even at the summit, we stayed only briefly before being rushed down.
The guide appeared distracted and in a hurry, which gave the strong impression that the tour was treated as a task to be finished as quickly as possible rather than a guided experience focused on safety and learning.
Given the shortened duration, lack of guiding, and serious safety concerns, this tour was not worth the price and fell far below acceptable professional standards. I would not recommend this experience, especially in winter conditions.
翻译:这是一次令人极其失望且不安全的体验。
行程宣传上写着从17:00到21:00,但实际上不到20:00就结束了,没有任何解释或补偿。
天气状况极其恶劣——强风和暴雪——但导游却以不合理的速度行进,丝毫不顾及参与者的身体状况。结果,我和朋友都出现了突发的头晕和低血糖症状,而我本人在徒步过程中还滑倒磕到了额头。
行程介绍上说导游会在徒步过程中介绍周围环境并进行讲解,但实际上完全没有。即使到了山顶,我们也只是短暂停留就被催促着下山。
导游看起来心不在焉,而且非常匆忙,这让人强烈地感觉到,他把这次旅行当作一项尽快完成的任务,而不是一次以安全和学习为重点的引导式体验。
鉴于行程时间短、缺乏导游以及存在严重的安全隐患,这次旅行性价比极低,远低于可接受的专业标准。我不推荐参加这次旅行,尤其是在冬季。
