点评:This tour was fantastic. We were picked up from near our hotel easily by George and his son in a bus and taken straight to the port. It was a choppy day so getting on the boat was a bit difficult; if you have mobility issues then I would ask for more information before booking. The staff were very helpful with embarkation and everything went smoothly.
George took us to where a pod of wild dolphins had been spotted; George told us that the boats all communicate to share information on sightings. What impressed me is that they have a time limit on how much time each boat can follow a pod to make sure that they don't disturb the animals. The dolphins were nosey and we got fantastic sightings of them very close to the boat.
After this sighting, we went on a bit of a sail around Madeira; the staff shared information about what we were seeing. We anchored in a calm, quiet cove and swam in the ocean for about half an hour. Then it was lunch time - George's wife had prepared a feast, salad, amazing bread, stews, potatoes. It was all delicious. Being vegetarian, I couldn't have the stews - I had potatoes, salad and bread which was delicious, however was a bit disappointing when there were multiple meat and fish options and I had informed Tui previously. Nevertheless, the food was great and my friend said that the stews were delicious.
Throughout the tour, drinks were offered and included in the price - soft drinks, wine, water, tea and coffee were regularly distributed to ensure everyone was hydrated.
Once we had eaten, we sailed back to port and ended what had been an amazing trip. We definitely recommend this cruise and George and his family in particular.
翻译:这次旅行太棒了。乔治和他的儿子开着大巴从酒店附近来接我们,直接把我们送到了港口。那天海浪很大,所以上船有点困难;如果你行动不便,我会在预订前询问更多信息。工作人员在登船时非常有帮助,一切都很顺利。
乔治带我们去了发现一群野生海豚的地方;乔治告诉我们,所有的船都会互相交流,分享目击信息。令我印象深刻的是,他们对每艘船跟随一群海豚的时间都有限制,以确保它们不会打扰到这些动物。海豚很爱管闲事,我们在离船很近的地方看到了它们,真是太棒了。
看到海豚后,我们在马德拉岛附近航行了一小段距离;工作人员分享了我们看到的信息。我们停泊在一个平静、安静的海湾,在海里游了大约半个小时。然后到了午餐时间——乔治的妻子准备了一顿盛宴,有沙拉、美味的面包、炖菜和土豆。一切都很美味。作为素食主义者,我不能吃炖菜 - 我吃了土豆、沙拉和面包,味道很好,但当有多种肉类和鱼类可供选择时,我有点失望,我之前已经告诉过 Tui。尽管如此,食物还是很棒的,我的朋友说炖菜很美味。
整个旅程都提供饮料,包含在价格中 - 软饮料、葡萄酒、水、茶和咖啡定期分发,以确保每个人都喝饱。
吃完饭后,我们回到港口,结束了一次美妙的旅行。我们绝对推荐这次巡游,尤其是乔治和他的家人。
