点评:We booked the Dolphin, Sea-lion and Penguin Island cruise. I booked this trip online from the UK in June 25 for our trip to Perth in November. We travelled by public transport from Perth and the train was fine. The instructions then say to get the bus from outside the station to Penguin Road. What the instructions don’t say is that the bus only ran about once an hour. Fortunately we had allowed plenty of time to get there so we’re okay, but I think the instructions need to make the timescales clearer.
When we got on the boat it was fine and we saw a few seals and some Ospray from a distance. Sadly we never saw any Dolphins. I know that there are never any guarantees with these type of trips. However, we have been on many such trips in the past and the boats try very hard to find Dolphins by communicating with other boats and spotters. On this occasion there was none of that and it appeared that the 2 crew were not remotely bothered that we had not seen anything. The other disappointing aspect was that we were not able to go to Penguin Island as the boats can’t land there at present due to shallow water. There was no mention of this when we checked in or when we got on the boat. In fact the announcement on the boat talked about keeping to the broad walks on the island. It was only when my husband went back to the information centre after the boat trip that we were told boats can’t go to the island and we were entitled to a refund. However, it would have been good to have been told in advance as we would have cancelled. Definitely not worth all the time and effort to see a few seals from a long distance.
翻译:我们预订了海豚、海狮和企鹅岛游船之旅。我6月25日从英国网上预订了这次行程,计划11月去珀斯。我们从珀斯乘坐公共交通工具,火车很顺利。行程说明上说要从车站外搭乘巴士前往企鹅路。但说明上没有提到巴士大约每小时才一班。幸好我们预留了充足的时间,所以没问题,但我认为行程说明应该把时间安排得更清楚一些。
上船后一切都很顺利,我们远远地看到了几只海豹和一些鹬。可惜的是,我们没看到海豚。我知道这类旅行从来都不能保证一定能看到海豚。但是,我们以前参加过很多类似的旅行,船只都会尽力与其他船只和观鸟者沟通寻找海豚。这次却完全没有这些措施,而且两位船员似乎对我们没看到海豚毫不在意。另一个令人失望的地方是,由于水浅,船只目前无法停靠企鹅岛,所以我们没能去成。办理登船手续和上船时,都没有人提及此事。事实上,船上的广播还提醒我们岛上的游客要走宽阔的步道。直到我丈夫乘船游览结束后回到游客中心,我们才被告知船只无法前往企鹅岛,我们可以获得退款。然而,如果能提前告知就好了,那样我们就会取消行程了。为了远远地看几只海豹,花费这么多时间和精力,实在是不值得。
