Lots of waiting, no communication
Rhino Safari Excursions的点评
点评:After spending the week hopping around SXM we were excited to see the island from the water and particularly so to be able have some adventure driving our own mini boats. I booked last minute, but they were able to accommodate us the next afternoon. We had a check in time of 1:00 pm and we sat on the dock for the next 2+ hours until we finally departed around 3:15 pm. There was no communication about what was going on, upon inquiring I was told that they had a tour group run late and that the schedule was off, that was it. Upon inquiring again were told that we would going out soon (it was another hour). No one really addressed it and the most we got was one offhanded “sorry for your wait”. One of our groups’s boats died within a minute of being on the water (they managed the situation quickly, we were near the dock but I was concerned about reliability out on the water) Our guide was nice, but I got the impression that being a guide wasn’t his regular job. He didn’t really say anything and we got the impression he was eager to return. Our tour was cut short because we left so late and needed to get back before the sunset.
Also the route was different than advertised on the website for the beach getaway tour that I booked. Based on the write up on the website I was under the impression that there would be information shared along the way, a tour. This was a ride, not a “tour”, which was fine but needs to be better explained.
We understand that things happen and I think we were very calm and accommodating about it all, but the lack of communication was really unacceptable. With all of this I unfortunately would not return and would not recommend Rhino Excursions.
翻译:在圣马丁岛 (SXM) 游览了一周后,我们非常兴奋能从水上欣赏这座岛屿,尤其期待能驾驶自己的迷你船体验一番冒险之旅。我是临时预订的,但他们还是安排我们第二天下午出发。我们预定的登船时间是下午1点,结果在码头上等了两个多小时,直到下午3点15分左右才出发。期间没有任何人告知我们发生了什么,我询问后才得知,原来是某个旅行团晚点了,所以行程安排被打乱了,仅此而已。再次询问后,他们又说我们很快就能出发(结果又过了一个小时)。没有人真正解释原因,我们得到的最多也就是一句敷衍的“抱歉让您久等了”。我们其中一艘船下水不到一分钟就抛锚了(他们处理得很快,当时我们离码头很近,但我担心它在水上的可靠性)。我们的导游人很好,但我感觉导游并不是他的本职工作。他几乎没说什么,我们感觉他很想快点回来。由于我们出发太晚,需要在日落前赶回去,所以行程被缩短了。
此外,实际路线与我预订的海滩度假之旅网站上宣传的路线不同。根据网站上的描述,我以为会沿途有讲解,算是一次真正的游览。结果这只是一次乘车,而不是“游览”,虽然这倒没什么,但需要更清楚地说明。
我们理解可能会发生一些意外,而且我认为我们一直都很冷静和配合,但缺乏沟通实在令人无法接受。综上所述,很遗憾,我不会再次选择 Rhino Excursions,也不会推荐给其他人。
