点评:This excursion was my favorite on the Alaskan Cruise!! Our guide Nick was fantastic - he was so informative about the rainforest and its inhabitants, we learned so much! This is the rain capitol of Alaska but we got lucky and had clear skies for our tour. Such a peaceful and beautiful place to experience. It was early in the season so we did not see much wildlife however the stuff we learned about this area was incredible.
Then there was the totem part of the sanctuary which was fascinating to see and learn about. The apprentice was starting a memorial totem which he explained thoroughly and showed us how he will carve with the tools (hand made from spare wood and blacksmith blades). The totems and stories behind them were very cool to see up close.
The gift shop was great and had a coffee shop with wonderfully friendly staff. I had THE BEST chai tea latte I’ve ever tasted! Highly recommend!
Side note to Nick’s parents who read these reviews - he was just a joy! So knowledge and kind, he made us laugh and kept the tour fun for all. He was a delight - good job raising him 👍🏻
翻译:这次阿拉斯加游轮之旅中,我最喜欢的就是这次的游览!我们的导游尼克太棒了——他对热带雨林及其生物了如指掌,我们学到了很多!这里是阿拉斯加的“雨林之都”,但我们很幸运,游览期间天空晴朗。这是一个如此宁静美丽的地方。虽然当时正值旅游季初期,我们没有看到太多野生动物,但我们了解到的关于这片区域的知识却令人叹为观止。
之后,我们还参观了保护区的图腾部分,那里的图腾制作和相关知识都非常引人入胜。一位学徒正在制作一个纪念图腾,他详细地讲解了制作过程,并向我们展示了他将如何使用工具(用废木料和铁匠刀片手工制作)进行雕刻。近距离观察这些图腾及其背后的故事,感觉非常棒。
礼品店也很棒,里面还有一家咖啡馆,店员非常友好热情。我喝到了有史以来最好喝的印度奶茶拿铁!强烈推荐!
顺便提一句,如果尼克的父母看到了这些评论——他真是个可爱的人!他知识渊博又和蔼可亲,逗得我们哈哈大笑,让整个旅程充满乐趣。他真是个讨人喜欢的孩子——家长教得真好👍🏻
