点评:Never book the whale sharks tour with them. It is a scam.
First they say it starts at 4am pick up, but the day before they now tell you you need to be ready at 3am.
You get there after waking up at 2am and you discover that you need to queue a huge line to get a ticket. This is never mentionned on their website that you might wait 3h. Anyway we queue for 1h just to learn that finally there is so much people that we will most likely not be able to have a spot ... And some tourists are even kept on waiting for 3-4h before hearing that it will not be possible to get on a boat.
When you go on the website of island trek tours you think that as you are booking the tour, you will get a spot but that's in fact not guaranteed and you might end up loosing a day of your holiday for nothing, just be in a car for 7hours .... do something else with your time and money!
And the worst in this story is that when Aurio from the company informed me about the need to wake up earlier, and I was trying to understand if it still really made sense for us to screw up a night of sleep, he confirmed in black and white that we would get to do the activity and see the whale sharks. He failed to mention that 1) he had Zero control, 2) we might have to wait for HOURS.
A very sad experience which again I would urge you all not to do and surely not with Island Trek Tours. Truly horrible experience, feeling exhausted and not doing anything except sitting in the car for 7h!
翻译:千万别订他们的鲸鲨之旅,简直是骗局!
他们一开始说早上4点出发,结果前一天又改口说3点就要准备好。
你凌晨2点起床到了那里,才发现要排长队买票。他们的网站上根本没提要等3个小时。我们排了一个小时的队,最后才知道人太多,很可能没位置……有些游客甚至等了3-4个小时才被告知根本没船。
你去Island Trek Tours的网站订票的时候,以为订了就一定有位置,但实际上根本没保证,你可能白白浪费一天假期,在车里待7个小时……还不如把时间和金钱花在别的地方!
最糟糕的是,当公司的Aurio告诉我需要早起时,我还在犹豫要不要为了早起而牺牲睡眠,他却信誓旦旦地保证我们一定能参加活动,看到鲸鲨。但他却只字未提:1)他对此完全没有控制权;2)我们可能要等上好几个小时。
这是一次非常糟糕的经历,我再次强烈建议大家不要参加,尤其不要选择Island Trek Tours。真是太可怕了,感觉筋疲力尽,却只能在车里坐了7个小时!
