点评:A Giant Experience! Seeing the giant tortoises ranked very high on my mental checklist of must-see animals in the Galapagos. As part of our expedition on National Geographic Lindblad's Gemini, we went to Rancho Primicias to view the giant tortoises. These grass-eating, 400-pound beauties didn't mind our presence at all, and I was pleased that we could get close enough for photos without being a bother to them. This excursion was included as part of our expedition; many tour groups were there at the same time. Upon arrival, you will be given knee-high rubber boots to wear. At first, we thought this was for trekking in the mud, but the boots also protected our shoes from tortoise poop. That's not a sentence I ever thought I'd be writing. Anyhow, we stayed for close to two hours, just walking around and observing what the tortoises were up to. The ranch had clean bathrooms, a restaurant, a gift shop, and a very nice tour led by an English-speaking guide. I am so pleased I had the opportunity to see the giant tortoises once in my lifetime.
翻译:一次震撼的体验!在加拉帕戈斯群岛的旅行清单上,观赏巨龟绝对是我最想看到的动物之一。作为国家地理林德布拉德双子星号探险之旅的一部分,我们前往普里米西亚斯牧场观赏巨龟。这些体重达400磅(约180公斤)的草食动物一点也不介意我们的存在,我很高兴我们能够近距离拍照而不会打扰到它们。这次游览包含在我们的行程中;当时有很多旅行团也在那里。到达后,你会拿到一双及膝的橡胶靴。起初,我们以为这是为了在泥泞中行走准备的,但没想到这双靴子还能保护我们的鞋子免受龟粪的侵害。我做梦也没想到自己会写出这样一句话。总之,我们在那里待了将近两个小时,四处走走,观察巨龟们的日常活动。牧场里有干净的卫生间、餐厅、礼品店,还有一位会说英语的导游带领的非常棒的游览活动。我很高兴这辈子有机会能亲眼见到巨龟。
