点评:My husband and I were really excited to go kayaking with our small dog during our trip to Asheville. We went with the French Broad Outfitters because they were dog friendly and came recommended. The bus driver guide dropping us off at the starting point was nice and friendly. The guide told us the kayaking trip would be like floating down the lazy river and that someone would be there to help us out of the water at the end of the trip.
My husband and I were in a tandem kayak with our dog (our dog was wearing a lifejacket). The first hour of the trip was super nice - it was fun and relaxing. About halfway through the trip, it started to get a little rocky. We were told to stay in the middle in some parts of the river and to hug certain sides of the river in other areas. My husband and I tried to follow the guides directions the best we could, and we still hit and got stuck on rocks. At one point during the trip, we hit a rock that we did not see, and our dog fell overboard into the water. We grabbed him immediately, he was fine. We hit and got stuck on 5 rocks total during the trip and our kayak almost flipped twice - we were all soaking wet and exhausted. When we pulled up to the dock at the end, there no one there to help us out of the water at all.
We were expecting some rocks in the river as it is the mountains, however, had we known how rocky it would have been at the end, we would not have gone on this trip, especially with our dog. We were told how dog friendly it was, and we were excited to be able to bring our dog with us.
If you are considering taking your dog, please be cautious and make sure they are wearing a lifejacket.
翻译:在阿什维尔之旅期间,我和丈夫非常高兴能带着我们的小狗去划皮划艇。我们选择了 French Broad Outfitters,因为他们对狗很友好并且受到推荐。把我们送到起点的巴士司机导游非常友善。导游告诉我们,皮划艇之旅就像沿着漂流河漂流一样,在旅行结束时会有人帮助我们离开水面。
我和我丈夫与我们的狗一起乘坐双人皮划艇(我们的狗穿着救生衣)。旅行的第一个小时非常美好——既有趣又放松。旅程进行到一半时,情况开始变得有些崎岖。我们被告知在河的某些部分要留在河的中间,而在其他区域则要紧贴河的某些两侧。我和我丈夫尽力遵循导游的指示,但我们仍然撞到并卡在岩石上。在旅途中的某个时刻,我们撞到了一块我们没有看到的岩石,我们的狗从船上掉进了水里。我们立即抓住了他,他没事。旅途中我们总共撞到并被困在了 5 块岩石上,我们的皮划艇几乎翻转了两次 - 我们都浑身湿透,筋疲力尽。当我们把车停到最后的码头时,根本没有人帮助我们从水里出来。
我们本来以为河里会有一些岩石,因为它是山,但是,如果我们知道最后会有多岩石,我们就不会参加这次旅行,尤其是带着我们的狗。我们被告知这里对狗非常友好,我们很高兴能够带着我们的狗一起来。
如果您考虑携带您的狗,请小心并确保它们穿着救生衣。
