点评:My family (wife and daughters aged 12 & 7) and I had the pleasure of experiencing the hospitality of the Coral Cats crew aboard the Wanaka Catamaran. Our captain for the day was Beks and we were blessed not just with clear skies and calm waters but also a great experience overall thanks to the efforts of the crew on the day.
We did a full day sailing from Port Denarau around the Mamanuca Islands. Our first stop was for a guided snorkel along the outer edge of the Pinnacle reef, my eldest daughter who is 12 joined me in the water, they provided her with a life vest to assist her and she was able to hold onto a floatation ring which was being pulled along by the guide so she always felt safe.
Lunch was next and the location at Musket Cove was amazing, the food was great, a BBQ whipped up with sausages, steak and fish along with a selection of salads - personal favourite was the potato salad.
After that was a stop at Malolo Sand bar, we had an option to take a second guided snorkelling tour or just swim to the sand bar and relax. We chose to swim to the sand bar, unfortunately the tide was high so the sand bar was below the water line but still managed to stand on the sand bar for a while and relax in the warm water. Overall the day was very chilled, very well managed and catered, and being part of a smaller group made it feel more intimate and luxurious.
The boat was equipped with plenty of shade sails to keep all the guests protected from the sun as well plenty of bean bags for relaxing as we cruised along. Would definitely recommend as an experience.
翻译:我和家人(妻子以及12岁、7岁的两个女儿)很幸运地体验到了瓦纳卡双体船上Coral Cats团队的热情款待。当天的船长名叫贝克斯。多亏了全体船员的辛勤付出,我们不仅享有了晴朗的天空与平静的海面,还收获了一次无与伦比的美好体验。
我们从德纳劳港出发,在马马努卡群岛一带航行了一整天。第一站是在皮纳克尔珊瑚礁外围进行的有向导陪同的浮潜活动。我12岁的大女儿和我一起下水,工作人员给她穿上了救生衣以帮助她,她还能抓住向导拖着的浮力圈,因此始终感到很安全。
接着是午餐时间,地点选在马斯克特湾,那里的环境棒极了。食物也很美味:有香肠、牛排和鱼的烧烤,还有各式各样的沙拉——我个人最爱的是土豆沙拉。
之后我们又停靠在马洛洛沙洲。我们可以选择参加第二次有向导带领的浮潜活动,或者直接游到沙洲上放松休息。我们选择了后者。可惜当时潮水较高,沙洲几乎完全没入水中,但我们还是设法在沙洲上站了一会儿,享受着温暖的海水带来的惬意。总的来说,这一天过得非常轻松自在;整个行程安排得井然有序且服务周到。由于参加的团队人数较少,氛围显得更加温馨而奢华。这艘船上配备了大量遮阳篷,确保所有宾客都能免受阳光直射;此外还有许多豆袋椅,让我们在游船途中能够尽情放松。绝对值得一试的体验!
