点评:Seeing Puffins up close and personal was one of my wife's bucket list items, so we booked a tour through Turus Mara to Lunga in June 2026. The island is incredible, packed with thousands of birds that essentially ignore the human observers! We counted over 24 species, with 5 of them new to my wife's life list (including the elusive Corn Crake). The trails are primitive, though, so be prepared with excellent hiking shoes and maybe even a walking stick. Note that most of the trails require climbing over rocks with frequent height changes, and the boat landing area is a very slippery rock beach. If you're a birding of any level, plan to spend as long as possible on the island. I think 4 hours is the maximum tour time allowed. We spent 4 hours and could have stayed another 2 or 3 hours if we'd had the luxury. Lunga should be on every birdwatcher's "must do" list.
翻译:近距离观赏海鹦是我妻子的人生愿望清单之一,所以我们在2026年6月通过Turus Mara预订了前往隆加岛的行程。这座岛屿令人叹为观止,成千上万只海鹦栖息于此,它们几乎完全无视人类的观察!我们数出了超过24种海鹦,其中5种是我妻子第一次见到的(包括难以捉摸的田鸡)。不过,岛上的步道比较原始,所以一定要准备一双舒适的登山鞋,最好带上一根登山杖。需要注意的是,大部分步道都需要攀爬岩石,而且岩石高度变化频繁,码头区域也是一片非常湿滑的岩石滩。如果你是一位观鸟爱好者,无论经验多少,都应该尽可能多地待在岛上。我记得游览时间最长是4小时。我们待了4个小时,如果时间允许的话,我们还可以再待2到3个小时。隆加岛绝对是每位观鸟爱好者的“必游之地”。
