点评:Our family joined Turquoise Safaris for their Sea Lion Tour at Jurien Bay on 21 September, and it was genuinely one of the highlights of our Western Australian road trip.
Coming from Far North Queensland, my wife Jenn, our 10-year-old son Liam and I were a little apprehensive beforehand about the weather and, particularly, how cold the water might be! Those concerns quickly disappeared from the moment we met the friendly crew and were welcomed aboard.
The entire crew went out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable and included, regardless of swimming ability or confidence in the water. Their professionalism and friendly, relaxed approach immediately put us at ease. They were also absolutely wonderful with Liam, making a real fuss of him both on the boat and in the water, which meant a lot to us as parents.
Then came the sea lions!
We were incredibly fortunate to have multiple interactions with these amazing animals. Being in the water while the sea lions swam and played around us was something none of us will ever forget. Watching Liam experience it alongside us made it even more special. For our family, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and has become one of the major highlights of our journey along the Western Australian coast.
The crew were fantastic in the water and clearly very knowledgeable about the sea lions, their behaviour and marine biology more generally. We always felt that we were in experienced and capable hands while still being able to relax and simply enjoy this extraordinary encounter.
Getting back aboard after our swim was pretty good too! The skipper had tea and coffee waiting, a hot Milo for Liam and, importantly, Tim Tams! After being in the water, those little touches were very much appreciated and added to the friendly, personal atmosphere of the whole tour.
What stood out most was that this never felt like we were simply being processed through another tourist attraction. There was genuine enthusiasm from the crew for what they do and for making sure everyone aboard had the best possible experience.
Jenn, Liam and I walked away absolutely buzzing from the morning. It really did make our day.
If you're visiting Jurien Bay, I cannot recommend this family-owned business highly enough. The combination of a fantastic crew, their knowledge and professionalism, and the incredible opportunity to interact with the sea lions made this an experience our family will be talking about for many years to come.
Thank you to everyone at Turquoise Safaris for giving us such a wonderful family memory. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
翻译:9月21日,我们一家人参加了Turquoise Safaris组织在朱里恩湾举办的海狮观赏之旅,这真是我们西澳大利亚自驾游中最难忘的体验之一。
我们来自昆士兰州最北部地区,因此事前我和妻子珍妮、10岁的儿子利亚姆对天气状况,尤其是海水的冰冷程度有些担心。不过,当我们见到热情友好的工作人员并受到热情迎接后,这些顾虑立刻烟消云散了。全体工作人员都竭尽全力让每个人都能感到自在并被接纳,无论他们的游泳水平如何、对水的恐惧程度怎样。他们的专业素养以及友善随和的态度立刻让我们放松下来。他们对利亚姆也极为贴心:无论是在船上还是在水里,都对他呵护有加。作为父母,我们对此感激不尽。
接着,海狮出现了!
我们实在幸运至极,能够多次与这些了不起的动物亲密接触。当我们置身于水中,海狮们则在我们周围游动、嬉戏,这一刻我们谁都永生难忘。能看到利亚姆也和我们一起体验这一切,更让这次经历显得格外特别。对我们全家而言,这确实是一生仅有一次的珍贵体验,也成了我们在西澳大利亚海岸旅行中最难忘的回忆之一。
船上的工作人员在水中表现得极为出色,他们显然对海狮的习性以及海洋生物学有着极为丰富的知识。我们始终觉得自己交到了经验丰富且能力出众的人手中照顾,同时又能放松身心,尽情享受这场难得的奇妙体验。
游完泳后回到船上也同样棒极了!船长早已备好了茶和咖啡,还为利亚姆准备了热乎乎的米洛饮料,当然,还有我们最爱的Tim Tams巧克力饼干!在下水之后,这些贴心的安排真是让人倍感温暖,也进一步烘托出了整个旅程友好而亲切的氛围。最令人印象深刻的是,整个过程绝没有让人感觉我们只是被当作普通游客来“流水线式接待”罢了。工作人员对他们的工作充满热情,也竭尽全力确保船上的每位乘客都能获得最棒的体验。
我和詹妮、利亚姆在度过那个美好的上午后都兴奋不已。这一经历真的让我们一整天都心情愉悦。
如果你打算前往朱里恩湾旅游,我极力推荐这家家族经营的商家。这里拥有一支出色的团队,以及……他们的知识与专业素养,再加上能与海狮亲密互动的难得机会,让这次经历成为我们全家今后多年都会津津乐道的回忆。
感谢Turquoise Safaris的每一位工作人员,为我们创造了如此美好的家庭回忆。⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
