点评:We did the afternoon Zodiac tour to Na Pali coast. First, the positives. KeKe was an excellent captain and we enjoyed the bumpy ride for the first 15 miles. Once arriving at the big mountains & caves, she did an amazing job maneuvering us in the cave & through a waterfall. The narration was also interesting. Now, the negatives. We were there right before Lowell so seas were higher & winds 30 mph. The only wildlife seen was a monk seal way off at shore. Disappointed no dolphins or turtles. We didn’t get to snorkel, but were offered a swim & some dinner before heading back. Disappointed no beach stop also. Dinner was served from a cooler at sea. Food was good! Unfortunately, I fell while attempting to get in the water. The staff were helpful in getting me up, however, no ice was offered or any check on me afterwards. I felt a little check on me during the 2-hr ride back would have been nice. The ride back was painful & I couldn’t wait for it to be over. 😩
Those considering this trip need to be aware you hold a big rope & your bare feet are placed under a seatbelt like thing for the entire ride (5+ hours). Gloves were offered, but there were not enough. I didn’t need them, but my husband used one and still came back with bloody knuckles & we both had sore feet. My hip & glutes were very sore for 3 days after. Yes, I expected adventure and signed the waiver. I do have wonderful pictures & enjoyed the experience, but I don’t recommend it for seniors. Despite being active & in good health, the trip back was too much for us. I would choose the Lucky Lady next time. I
Removing 1 star due to above. I would recommend this for the younger crowd. 20’s to 40’s maybe? You have to judge your fitness. We had done a fast boat last year with no problems. Not an oversized dingy.
翻译:我们下午乘坐Zodiac皮划艇游览了纳帕利海岸。先说优点吧:KeKe是一位出色的船长,最初15英里的航程虽然有些颠簸,但我们乐在其中。抵达那些高大的山脉和洞穴后,她巧妙地驾船带我们穿行于洞穴之中并穿过瀑布,表现出色。沿途的解说也很有趣。再说说缺点:我们到达时正值洛厄尔飓风来临前,海浪较大,风速也达到了每小时30英里。我们只看到一只僧海豹,而且离海岸相当远。很遗憾没能看到海豚或海龟。我们没能进行浮潜,但在返回前有人邀请我们游泳并享用晚餐。遗憾的是,也没有安排海滩停留的环节。晚餐是从海上的冷藏箱里拿出来的,食物很美味!可惜的是,我在试图下水时摔了一跤。工作人员帮我站了起来,但之后既没有给我冰块冷敷,也没有关心我的状况。我觉得在两个小时的返程途中,有人关心一下我的伤势会更好。回程的旅程痛苦不堪,我只盼着它早点结束。打算参加这次行程的人需要注意:整个行程中(5个多小时),你需要握着一根大绳子,双脚则被固定在类似安全带的装置下。虽然提供了手套,但数量不够。我不需要手套,可我丈夫用了一只后,手指关节还是磨得鲜血淋漓;我们俩的脚也疼得不行。事后三天里,我的髋部与臀部也一直酸痛不已。没错,我本就期待一场冒险体验,也签署了免责协议。不过我确实拍到了很多精彩的照片,这次经历也挺有意思的。不过我不建议老年人选择这个。尽管我们身体还算健康且精力充沛,但回程的路程对我们来说还是太吃力了。下次我会选择“Lucky Lady”号。
基于上述原因,我扣掉了一颗星。这个项目比较适合年轻人,大概20到40岁之间吧?当然,还是得根据自身体能状况来判断。去年我们乘坐快艇时并没有任何问题。那艘船也并非大型游艇。
