点评:We did the 2-day / 1-night trip from Lombok to Sumbawa, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Ramdani, was incredible – super friendly, helpful, and always made sure we felt comfortable and informed.
The drive takes about 10 hours with stops, but it didn’t feel long at all thanks to a comfortable car, great driver, and some awesome local street food along the way (seriously, so good!). The hotel for the overnight stay was really nice and relaxing.
Early next morning we went to the harbor – and had a chance to nap a bit more on the boat before a delicious breakfast (a mountain of fresh fruit!). And then… the whale sharks arrived for theirs.
What made it even more special was that we had the place almost entirely to ourselves – just us and a few local fishermen. About 90% of the time, it felt like our own private encounter with these incredible creatures.
We also really appreciated that the experience isn’t commercialized – yes, the sharks are used to being fed, so it’s not 100% wild, but they are absolutely free to come and go. We even saw local marine authorities doing a check while we were there, which shows it’s well monitored and respected.
A truly magical, respectful and memorable wildlife experience – highly recommended!
翻译:我们从龙目岛到松巴哇岛进行了为期两天一夜的旅行,从始至终都令人惊叹不已。我们的导游Ramdani非常棒——她非常友好、乐于助人,总是确保我们感到舒适自在,并且了解所有信息。
车程大约需要10个小时,中间会停一下,但由于车况舒适、司机出色,沿途还品尝了一些很棒的当地街头小吃(真的,太好吃了!),所以感觉时间并不长。我们入住的酒店非常舒适,令人放松。
第二天一早,我们去了港口——在船上小憩了一会儿,然后享用了美味的早餐(新鲜水果堆积如山!)。然后……鲸鲨来了,它们也开始觅食了。
更特别的是,这里几乎完全属于我们——只有我们和几位当地渔民。大约90%的时间,我们都感觉像是在与这些神奇的生物进行私人会面。
我们也非常欣赏这次体验没有被商业化——没错,鲨鱼已经习惯了喂食,所以并非100%野生,但它们可以自由出入。我们甚至看到当地海洋局在进行检查,这表明我们受到了良好的监控和尊重。
这真是一次神奇、充满尊重、令人难忘的野生动物体验——强烈推荐!
