点评:When preparing for our trip to Galapagos (internet and guide books) we had never heard of the Daphne Islands. It was only when we scoffed at paying an exorbitant price for a tour to Seymour Norte, that an intelligent tour agent suggested the less expensive Daphne Islands.
After a forty minute mini bus ride across Santa Cruz, we boarded our boat. A relatively short ride (another 40 minutes) brought us to the two Daphne Islands (they are 15 minutes from one another by boat). Simply put, it was the best snorkeling that we did on Santa Cruz or San Cristobal (we haven't as yet done Isabella). Clear waters, excellent visibility, lots of colourful fish, along with a shark (the friendly type) and three beautiful rays. We finished the day back on Santa Cruz, swimming on a lovely beach, sharks (again, the friendly ones) and rays in the water with us. Other than the wonderful snorkeling, it was a pleasure NOT to have spent an inordinate amount of time traveling the open seas. Distances were pretty close. A great to tour.
翻译:在准备加拉帕戈斯群岛之旅时(查阅了网络和旅游指南),我们从未听说过达芙妮群岛。直到我们对前往北西摩岛的昂贵行程嗤之以鼻时,一位精明的旅行社代理向我们推荐了价格更实惠的达芙妮群岛。
乘坐小巴穿过圣克鲁斯岛后,我们登上了船。又经过一段相对较短的航程(大约40分钟),我们抵达了达芙妮群岛(两岛之间乘船只需15分钟)。简而言之,这是我们在圣克鲁斯岛或圣克里斯托瓦尔岛(我们还没去过伊莎贝拉岛)体验过的最棒的浮潜。海水清澈,能见度极佳,各种色彩斑斓的鱼儿,还有一条鲨鱼(很友善的那种)和三条美丽的鳐鱼。当天晚上,我们返回圣克鲁斯岛,在美丽的海滩上游泳,鲨鱼(同样很友善)和鳐鱼也和我们一起在水中嬉戏。除了精彩的浮潜之外,不用在茫茫大海上耗费太多时间也让人感到很愉快。各景点之间的距离都很近。这是一次很棒的旅行。
