点评:A typically touristy boat trip around the islands, caves and lagoons of Malta, despite the captain and first-mate being friendly, there were some important elements of this trip missing which otherwise would have made for a far better experience.
The commentary on the boat was very quiet and only consisted of instructions for pick up and drop off times and transport. We spent a lot of time on the boat with no commentary about the places of interest we were passing, such as the the cliffs-side buildings and statues, caves, island or lagoons - it would have been so nice to have learnt about what we were seeing.
We stopped off in the blue lagoon, which is hugely over-crowded, I cannot stress this enough, there is literally nowhere to sit and not enough time to get to the other side of the island, where it is quieter. The water was clear however with boats absolutely everywhere in my opinion it is not safe to swim or snorkel too far away from the small and crowded shore (i didn’t get a picture of the lagoon to show the extent of this unfortunately)
We headed to Gozo, where we missed the connecting transfer as we didn’t hear the details of what to do, so we Taxi’d in to the capital, sat and had lunch, whilst a couple of us ran up the hill to the Citadel for some photos, all very rushed due to the additional time it took us to arrange taxis for a family of 8 people (2x children and 6x adults - one with accessibility needs)
We also stopped at St. Pauls island, with no commentary we knew nothing more about why this was a place of interested other than the statue itself, nevertheless some of us took a pleasant walk up to the statue, which was beautiful as the sun was beginning to set.
I would not recommend swimming or snorkelling here, the water is very dirty with plastic bottles and bags and JELLYFISH, some the size of dinner plates, one person on our trip was stung and regrettably place to swim was recommended to us to swim by the captain.
Overall the places we visited were beautiful,, the boat was clean and the captain and first mate friendly, however it felt like a ‘stack ‘em high, sell ‘em cheap’ kind of trip with little attention to details, no commentary, no warning about jellyfish, no checking all information had been heard. Regrettably, we would not do this boat tour again and wouldn’t recommend it either for our type of group.
翻译:这是一次典型的马耳他岛屿、洞穴和泻湖旅游游船之旅,尽管船长和大副很友好,但这次旅行中还是缺少一些重要的元素,否则这些元素本来会带来更好的体验。
船上的解说很安静,只包括接送时间和交通说明。我们在船上花了很多时间,没有对我们所经过的名胜古迹进行任何评论,例如悬崖边的建筑物和雕像、洞穴、岛屿或泻湖 - 如果能够了解我们所看到的东西,那就太好了我们看到了。
我们在蓝色泻湖停下来,那里非常拥挤,这一点我怎么强调都不为过,实际上没有地方可以坐下,也没有足够的时间到达岛的另一边,那里更安静。水很清澈,但是在我看来,到处都有船,在距离又小又拥挤的海岸太远的地方游泳或浮潜是不安全的(不幸的是,我没有拍到泻湖的照片来显示其范围)
我们前往戈佐岛,在那里我们错过了转机,因为我们没有听到要做什么的细节,所以我们打车到首都,坐下来吃午饭,同时我们几个人跑上山去城堡里拍了一些照片,一切都非常匆忙,因为我们花了额外的时间为 8 人的家庭(2 名儿童和 6 名成人 - 一个需要无障碍设施)安排出租车
我们还在圣保罗岛停了下来,没有任何评论,除了雕像本身之外,我们对为什么这是一个有趣的地方一无所知,尽管如此,我们中的一些人还是愉快地走到了雕像前,它在阳光下很美丽开始凝固。
我不建议在这里游泳或浮潜,水很脏,有塑料瓶、塑料袋和水母,有些有餐盘大小,我们旅途中一个人被蜇了,遗憾的是船长向我们推荐了游泳的地方。
总的来说,我们参观的地方很漂亮,船很干净,船长和大副也很友好,但是感觉就像是一种“堆高,卖便宜”的旅行,很少关注细节,没有评论,没有关于水母的警告,没有听说过检查所有信息。遗憾的是,我们不会再进行这次乘船游览,也不会推荐给我们类型的团体。
