点评:This is the best way to see most of Cumberland Island in a day, especially for older people or those with limited mobility. We saw all the major sites on the island, except the beach. This tour is the only way to see the mansion at Plum Orchard if you're on a day visit, but I'm not sure it was worth the time or money to see it(spent more than an hour there). In general, I think the tour gets unnecessarily stretched out-- it doesn't have to be a 6 hour tour, so expect a very slow pace. Also expect a rough ride in the van, so if you have neck/back/hip issues, this is NOT recommended.
Our guide was Bill who has a lot of experience as a visitor to the island as well as past docent at the Plum Orchard property. He interjected many personal stories, both related and unrelated to the tour's subject matter. He spent time chatting up bikers and hikers on the road while we sat and waited in the van. His headset died so that people seated in the back of the van could not hear him for the last 1.5 hours of the tour. I can't say that we got much more info from Bill than we would've gotten on our own via the NPS app or Google. In general, our assessment is that it wasn't worth $65 and 6 hours of our day. If we could go back in time, we would've spent our time on foot, seeing Dungeness Mansion, the workers' village and the ice house museum then walked the beach.
翻译:这是游览坎伯兰岛大部分景点的最佳方式,尤其适合老年人或行动不便者。我们参观了岛上所有主要景点,除了海滩。如果您是当天往返,那么参加这个一日游是参观普拉姆果园庄园的唯一途径,但我不太确定是否值得花费时间和金钱(我们在那里待了一个多小时)。总的来说,我认为行程安排得过于冗长——其实没必要安排6个小时,所以请做好节奏缓慢的心理准备。另外,乘坐面包车可能会比较颠簸,如果您有颈椎、背部或髋关节问题,不建议参加。
我们的导游是比尔,他是一位经验丰富的游客,也曾在普拉姆果园担任过讲解员。他穿插讲解了很多个人故事,有些与行程主题相关,有些则无关。在我们坐在车里等待的时候,他还和路上的骑行者和徒步旅行者聊天。他的耳机没电了,导致坐在面包车后排的人在行程的最后1.5小时里都听不到他的声音。说实话,比尔讲解的信息并没有比我们自己通过国家公园管理局的应用程序或谷歌搜索获得的信息多多少。总的来说,我们认为这次旅行不值65美元和6个小时。如果可以回到过去,我们会选择步行游览,参观邓杰内斯庄园、工人村和冰屋博物馆,然后去海滩散步。
