点评:Our group was lucky enough to have ABE as our actual tour guide!!! We took the Tres Palmitas tour and WOW it was SO FUN!!!!
We started by meeting at Rainbow Realty which had plenty of parking for all us across the street next to the Abe’s school-bus.
We all hopped in the van with a truck filled with kayaks following us and drove to Tres Palmitas boat ramp in the National Wildlife Refuge - maybe about a 20 minute drive. Once there we all got unloaded, we put our gear in the dry bags that were provided and headed off on our grand adventure.
First, we kayaked through the mangroves and saw so many little mangrove crabs and literally hundreds (thousands?) of mangrove jellyfish that swim upright, but when they settle on the bottom lie on their bell with their tentacles facing up. They looked like a jellyfish garden! Abe harvested a few oysters for everyone to try.
Next we headed out toward the open sea and tried to paddle to some caves that are in the next bay. Unfortunately the waves were just too rough, so we ended up turning around and landed on our own private beach called Playa Corcho.
Our group had one person that didn’t know how to swim or snorkel, and Abe spent some extra time getting her comfortable in the water and even got her to look through her mask for a bit. She wasn’t comfortable enough to go snorkeling with us, so she chilled on the beach while the rest of us headed out along the eastern side of Puerto Ferro along a long and beautiful expanse of coral and sea grasses. We saw SO many fish, sea urchins, spiny lobster, fans & corals.
After our snorkeling trip we chilled on the beach and in the water for an hour or so, and then packed up and headed back to the boat ramp.
Our group had a wonderful experience and would 100% book a kayaking tour with Abe’s again! :)
翻译:我们团队非常幸运,ABE 亲自担任我们的导游!!!我们参加了 Tres Palmitas 之旅,哇,太好玩了!!!
我们首先在 Rainbow Realty 见面,那里有充足的停车位,就在 Abe 校车旁边的街对面。
我们都跳上面包车,后面跟着一辆装满皮划艇的卡车,我们开往国家野生动物保护区的 Tres Palmitas 船坡——大概20分钟车程。到达那里后,我们卸下行李,把装备放进提供的防水袋里,然后开始了我们伟大的冒险之旅。
首先,我们划着皮划艇穿过红树林,看到了许多小红树林螃蟹,还有成百上千只(?)红树林水母。它们直立游动,但沉到水底时会趴在钟形体上,触手朝上。它们看起来就像一个水母花园!Abe 还采了一些牡蛎给大家尝尝。
接下来,我们向外海出发,试图划到隔壁海湾的一些洞穴。可惜的是,海浪实在太汹涌,我们最终不得不折返,来到了我们自己的私人海滩——Playa Corcho。
我们团里有一个人不会游泳也不会浮潜,Abe花了额外的时间让她适应水温,甚至让她透过面罩看了一会儿。但她不太适应和我们一起浮潜,所以她就待在沙滩上休息,而我们其他人则沿着波多费罗东侧一片绵长美丽的珊瑚和海草区出发。我们看到了非常多的鱼、海胆、刺龙虾、扇贝和珊瑚。
浮潜之旅结束后,我们在沙滩和海水里休息了大约一个小时,然后收拾行装,返回船坡。
我们团队的体验非常棒,我们一定会再次预订 Abe 的皮划艇之旅!:)
