点评:It was a wonderful trip from start to finish.
We got in touch as we were hoping to see the whales during our visit to the coast, but as it was still to early for this we were recommended the Isla Salango trip. And it certainly did not disappoint!!
We were staying in Manta and they arranged our transport to and from Puerto Lopez without issue. We had a wonderful chauffeur named Flor that went above and beyond to make the drive memorable as well!
Arriving in Puerto Lopez we were greeted at the office by our guide Tito, and off we went to the dock.
The boat Lobo Marino II isnt the fastest compared to the other tour operators, but this made the trip even better!! Along the way we passed a cliffside full of Boobies, and plenty of them soaring through the air. Once we arrived at the island we got to see the sea lions resting on the rocks.
At the island we got about an hour to enjoy the waters close to the island, snorkels are provided as is a kayak.
In case you get hungry there is even a boat selling sandwiches and ice cream.
To close off the visit the boat gets closer to shore and you are able to get on the beach and see that part of the island up close (it is still a nature reserve so exploration is limited to the beach).
With this the visit comes to an end and we return to the boat and start our journey back. On the journey back we were provided with a snack and a drink ( watermelon and a cold cola).
We might not have been able to see any whales as we were just a few weeks too early, but this trip certainly made up for it!!
翻译:这是一次从头到尾都精彩绝伦的旅行。
我们联系旅行社是因为我们原本希望在海岸边观赏鲸鱼,但由于时间尚早,观鲸季还没开始,他们便推荐了萨兰戈岛之旅。而这次旅行也确实没有让我们失望!
我们住在曼塔,他们帮我们安排了往返洛佩斯港的交通,一切都非常顺利。我们的司机弗洛尔非常棒,他热情周到,让这段旅程也充满了难忘的回忆!
抵达洛佩斯港后,我们的导游蒂托在办公室迎接了我们,然后我们便前往码头。
与其他旅行社相比,我们乘坐的“海洋狼二号”游船速度不算快,但这反而让旅程更加精彩!途中,我们经过了一处悬崖,那里栖息着大量的鲣鸟,许多鲣鸟在空中翱翔。到达岛上后,我们还看到了海狮在岩石上休息。
在岛上,我们有大约一个小时的时间在近海畅游,浮潜用具和皮划艇都已备好。
如果饿了,还有一艘船出售三明治和冰淇淋。
游览即将结束之际,船会靠近岸边,您可以登上沙滩,近距离欣赏岛屿的景色(这里仍然是自然保护区,所以探索范围仅限于沙滩)。
游览到此结束,我们返回船上,开始返程。返程途中,我们享用了小吃和饮料(西瓜和冰镇可乐)。
虽然我们来得早了几周,没能看到鲸鱼,但这次旅行绝对弥补了这一遗憾!
