蒂利蒂利马唐伊岛的点评
点评:I was so lucky to stay the night here. Amazing nature reserve, so well cared for by the army of dedicated volunteers and Nick the Ranger. Saw Takahe, Kiwi, Kokako, Hihi and so many others. Over 30 species in total. And Wetapunga, the world’s second largest insect!
I paid $50 for a private guide, and had 4 hours with the lovely and knowledgeable Bruce, one of the original volunteers who planted 280,000 native trees in the 1980s.
The walks are plentiful and well signposted. The visitors centre shop is legendary. Lots of benches. Plenty of toilets around the island too.
And the bunkhouse far exceeded my expectations. Very comfortable. Full sized mattresses and pillows, hot showers and a large and well equipped kitchen (range, microwave, toaster, kettles and heaps of pots, pans and utensils).
The water at the bunkhouse and visitors centre is fully treated and safe to drink.
翻译:我真是太幸运了,能在这里过夜。这片自然保护区太棒了,由一群尽心尽力的志愿者和护林员尼克精心维护。我看到了南秧鸡、几维鸟、科卡科鸟、吸蜜鸟等等,总共超过30种鸟类。还有世界第二大昆虫——沙蚕!
我花了50美元请了一位私人向导,和博学友善的布鲁斯一起游览了4个小时。布鲁斯是上世纪80年代最早一批种植了28万棵本地树木的志愿者之一。
徒步路线很多,路标也很清晰。游客中心的商店名不虚传。岛上有很多长椅,厕所也很多。
而且,青年旅舍远远超出了我的预期。非常舒适。床垫和枕头都是标准尺寸,还有热水淋浴,厨房宽敞且设备齐全(炉灶、微波炉、烤面包机、水壶以及各种锅碗瓢盆和餐具)。
青年旅舍和游客中心的饮用水经过全面处理,可安全饮用。
