点评:Amazing trip. We hope to do it again! My kids (ages 9&12) also thought it was amazing and we came out of this feeling very bonded as a family. I hadn’t realized the trip included some class IV rapids (my mistake to not read the detailed itinerary that closely when my husband booked it months ago). I reached out to ROW ~2 weeks before our trip when I actually read the itinerary and panicked a little bit and wondered if this was safe for kids — I was reassured by Tom (local lead guide) - really appreciate the time he took to reach out to me. Tom even made an extra trip to see me in person to talk about the rapids with me on the orientation night even though he wasn’t guiding on our trip. These rapids are totally appropriate for a family and I felt very safe the entire time - all the guides are really excellent and know what they are doing and the equipment was all great. I am inspired to go on more rafting trips after this experience. The lodges were good (first 2 nights rustic, third night was a very nice place). I slept well at all the lodges and appreciated I wasn’t camping since I never sleep well camping. The guides were full of personality and fun to talk to - I appreciated all of them. Our lead guide (Pete) did a great job of communicating the plan for the day and other info. One of our guides (Rian) even played bingo with my kids one evening at one of the lodges! ROW really runs their tours well. Can’t say enough good things about our trip.
翻译:一次棒极了的旅行!我们希望以后还能再来!我的孩子们(9岁和12岁)也觉得这次旅行太精彩了,旅行结束后我们全家的感情更加亲密了。我之前并不知道这次行程中包含一些四级难度的急流(怪我自己在几个月前丈夫预订行程时没有仔细阅读详细行程说明)。在我们出发前大约两周,我仔细阅读了行程安排后有些担心,不确定这样的行程对孩子们来说是否安全,于是联系了ROW。汤姆(当地的导游领队)让我安心了不少——非常感谢他特意抽出时间与我联系。尽管那次行程他并不负责带队,但在行前说明会上,汤姆还是专程亲自来见我,和我详细讨论了有关急流的相关事宜。这些急流对于家庭来说再合适不过了,整个过程中我都感觉非常安全——所有的向导都极其出色,对业务了如指掌,设备也相当不错。这次体验之后,我更想去参加更多的漂流活动了。住宿条件也不错(前两晚住的是风格质朴的小屋,第三晚则住在一个非常不错的旅馆里)。我在所有住宿点都睡得很香,也很庆幸自己不用露营,因为我露营时总是睡不好。这些导游个性鲜明,和他们聊天也特别有趣——我真的很喜欢他们每一个人。我们的首席导游(Pete)把当天的行程安排及其他信息讲解得清晰明了。有一次晚上,另一位导游(Rian)还在旅店里和我的孩子们一起玩宾果游戏呢!ROW确实把旅游服务打理得井井有条。这次旅行真是无可挑剔,我实在说不出什么缺点了。
