点评:The 16-day Adventurer, Kimberley Safari Tour was our first ever tour. We’d travelled up to the Kimberley a few years ago in our campervan and absolutely loved the area. We were looking forward to exploring more, things that we couldn’t access in our campervan, so decided to look at a tour — we were a little nervous, but we are so glad we did.
I enjoyed the camping far more than I thought I would. It’s been over 30 years since we last camped, so I wasn’t entirely sure how that was going to go! Turns out, getting back to nature — tents, dust, creaky knees and all — was exactly what I needed – it was so grounding and felt like the most authentic way to travel along the Gibb River Road. Every night I’d look up at the star-filled sky and think, how lucky are we to be here?
Walking in nature every day felt so healthy, and the hikes and gorges were simply spectacular. The gorges were a bit cold for my liking – but I was probably the wimpiest in the group – several others jumped in. I was perfectly happy wading in up to my knees.
The helicopter flights over the Bungle Bungles and Mitchell Falls were absolutely incredible - a definite highlight. Flying with no doors sounds scarier than it actually is, I would definitely recommend paying extra for the experience.
Our guides, Shane and Jason were awesome - they made everyone feel safe, were super energetic, great drivers, amazing cooks, full of local knowledge, respectful and always made you feel like you belonged.
We came for the 4WD access and the beautiful landscapes but left with so much more — a real sense of connection to nature, wonderful memories, and plenty of laughs – our group was a lot of fun. We would absolutely recommend it to everyone who likes joining in and being part of a group of people keen for a Kimberley adventure.
翻译:我们推出的首个旅游线路便是为期16天的“金伯利探险之旅”。几年前,我们曾驾驶露营车去过金伯利地区,非常喜欢那里。这次我们希望能探索更多露营车无法抵达的地方,于是决定参加旅游团——虽然有些紧张,但我们真的很高兴自己做了这个决定。
我原本以为自己不会那么喜欢露营,结果却远远超出预期。我们上一次露营还是30多年前的事了,所以心里也没底,不确定会是什么样的体验呢!事实证明,回归大自然——搭帐篷、满身尘土、膝盖发软等等——正是我所需要的。这种体验让人内心平静,也堪称沿着吉布河路旅行最纯粹的方式。每晚我都会仰头仰望繁星满天的夜空,心想:我们能身处此地真是太幸运了!
每天在大自然中漫步感觉十分有益健康,而那些徒步路线和峡谷更是美得令人惊叹。那些峡谷的水温对我来说有点冷——不过我可能是团队里最怕冷的那个了;其他人可都毫不犹豫地跳了进去。我开心地让水没过膝盖,享受着这种感觉。
乘坐直升机游览邦格尔邦格尔山脉和米切尔瀑布的经历简直棒极了——绝对是此行的一大亮点。没有舱门的直升机听起来似乎很吓人,但实际上并非如此;我强烈推荐大家花点额外费用来体验一下。
我们的导游肖恩和杰森棒极了——他们让每个人都感到安心,精力充沛,驾车技术超群,厨艺精湛,对当地情况了如指掌,待人谦逊有礼,总能让你有宾至如归的感觉。我们本是冲着四驱车路线和绝美的风景而来的,但最终收获的远不止这些——我们真切感受到了与大自然的连接,留下了美好的回忆,还笑声不断——我们的团队氛围真的太有趣了。我们极力推荐这次体验给所有喜欢参与集体活动、渴望体验金伯利地区探险的人。
