点评:I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Maya’s! I went on multiple tours with them during my time on SJI and each one was fantastic. We saw whales each day! I know most of that is just luck with who is in the area and there’s never a guarantee, but the captains really worked to find whatever whales were in their range. My tours were a mix of captains and naturalists Jeff, Alan, April, Sara, and Alex. Each one of them is wonderful, answering all of my questions and full of information. It was nice to be in the company of fellow whale nerds 🙂 In addition to the main event, we saw a ton of other wildlife including seals, sea lions, bald eagles, and a ton of other birds. By the end of my trip, I was able to identify some of the birds myself, so kudos to the naturalists for being good teachers! They were all also extremely knowledgeable about the islands and their history - I know the whales are what most of us are looking for, but I really enjoyed learning so much about all of it…the land, the sea, the animals. The boats are great - they hold just a small group which was perfect for moving around to take in the sights. Also have indoor seating which is awesome for rainy, windy days. I know this won’t be my last trip to SJI, nor my last tours out on the water with Maya’s. It is clear that everyone involved is passionate about what they do and it made me even more appreciative of this beautiful planet and its creatures. If you get a chance to explore on the water, do it with Maya’s - truly worth every penny.
翻译:我无法用言语表达我与 Maya 的合作经历有多美好!我在 SJI 期间曾多次与他们一起旅行,每次都很棒。我们每天都能看到鲸鱼!我知道大部分情况都是运气好,谁在该地区,谁也保证不了,但船长们确实努力寻找他们范围内的任何鲸鱼。我的旅行团由船长和博物学家 Jeff、Alan、April、Sara 和 Alex 组成。他们每个人都很棒,回答了我所有的问题,并且提供了大量信息。能与其他鲸鱼爱好者在一起真是太好了 🙂 除了主要活动之外,我们还看到了许多其他野生动物,包括海豹、海狮、白头鹰和许多其他鸟类。在旅行结束时,我自己能够识别一些鸟类,所以要向博物学家们致敬,他们是好老师!他们也都非常了解这些岛屿及其历史 - 我知道我们大多数人都在寻找鲸鱼,但我真的很喜欢了解这一切......土地、海洋、动物。船很棒 - 只载一小群人,非常适合四处走动欣赏风景。还有室内座位,在下雨天和刮风天非常棒。我知道这不会是我最后一次去 SJI,也不会是我最后一次和 Maya 一起出海旅行。很明显,每个参与者都对自己的工作充满热情,这让我更加欣赏这个美丽的星球和它的生物。如果你有机会在水上探索,那就和 Maya 一起去吧 - 真的物有所值。
