Relaxing, interesting and insightful tour with Junior Thomas
Unique Tours Tobago -Tours的点评
点评:We were four people and hired Junior for the day, mostly because of his reputation for bird tours. We were not disappointed. This is our second trip to Tobago and we were here this time for a month so we'd already done a lot of travelling ourselves around the island. What Junior offered was taking us off the main roads for both breathtaking views and seeing birds we would otherwise overlook completely. The highlight of the trip was the Gilpin Trail (Junior provided us with Wellington's!) where - thanks to Junior- we saw three of the six species that people travel to the rainforest hoping to see: a pair of Collared Trogons, more than one Blue-backed Manakin and the White-tailed Sabrewing Hummingbird. He knew these birds' different calls and songs and exactly when they were getting closer and we could see them. He identified them before my Merlin app could tell me what was singing. We also went to Little Tobago on the trip, but Junior was forthcoming enough to suggest we needed a guide familiar with the birds there to get the most of the trip and he found a great guide, Troy, from Top Ranking Glass Bottom Boat Tours and joined us for the two hours; again, great bird watching. Junior is knowledgeable about the birds and the island and we learned a lot from him about life in Tobago. He was a safe a driver and not in a hurry. Junior also has a hummingbird gallery, but it was the wrong time of day when we passed by there to see them.
翻译:我们一行四人,雇了Junior一天的向导服务,主要是因为他擅长带我们观鸟,名声在外。果然没让我们失望。这是我们第二次来多巴哥岛,这次待了一个月,所以我们自己已经环岛游览了不少地方。Junior带我们远离主干道,欣赏令人叹为观止的美景,还能看到我们平时根本不会注意到的鸟类。这次旅行的亮点是吉尔平步道(Junior给我们安排了惠灵顿步道!),多亏了Junior,我们看到了六种鸟类中的三种,而这六种鸟类都是人们专程前往雨林想要看到的:一对领环咬鹃、不止一只蓝背侏儒鸟和白尾剑翅蜂鸟。他熟悉这些鸟儿不同的叫声和鸣唱,并且能准确地判断它们何时靠近,让我们能够看到它们。甚至在我使用Merlin应用程序告诉我它们叫什么之前,他就已经认出了它们。这次旅行我们也去了小多巴哥岛,但Junior很坦诚地建议我们需要一位熟悉当地鸟类的向导,这样才能充分体验多巴哥岛的鸟类之美。他找到了一位很棒的向导,Troy,来自Top Ranking Glass Bottom Boat Tours公司,陪我们一起乘船两个小时;我们又一次收获了精彩的观鸟体验。Junior对鸟类和岛屿都非常了解,我们从他那里学到了很多关于多巴哥岛生活的知识。他开车很稳,而且不急不躁。Junior还有一个蜂鸟展厅,可惜我们路过的时候时间不对,没能看到蜂鸟。
