点评:The early start is definitely worth it 😊
We met with Navin at the rendez-vous layby at 5.30am. He was punctual & organised. We waded thigh-high out to the speed-boat, where we were welcomed on board by Dillon (sp?) son of Navin & introduced to Frederick our skipper.
We were given an outline of what our schedule would be (in English & French) & offered hot tea & delicious home baked cakes (by The Boss aka Navin’s wife!😁).
At a nice relaxed speed we followed a channel across the lagoon until we got to a break in the reef - then the speedboat took off in search of dolphin 🐬. We soon saw several (although small pods) of Spinner Dolphin & we were given the chance to get into the water with them. We were also very lucky to see two green turtles!
After crossing the reef back into the lagoon, we were given the chance to snorkel (I’m not a strong swimmer & found the current a little too strong for my ability) but we had plenty of opportunity to stay in the water, saw a good variety of fish & a lovely orange octopus.
We waded ashore on to Ile aux
Benitiers to find our brunch tables ready-erected & nicely laid (cotton embroidered table-cloths!) were given drinks, then plenty of time to explore the island, before sitting down to a very leisurely, relaxed brunch - served to us at around 1045am.
Food was plentiful, tasty & cooked well - the fish extremely fresh & moist. Drinks - soft & alcoholic were also plentiful (warning: home made infused spiced rum was quite potent!🤭).
We got back on board the boat at approximately 1pm for the return trip & were back at our car by approx 2pm.
Navin & his team really looked after us & chatting with him, it is very obvious that he wants to ensure all his passengers have a memorable & very enjoyable time.
He & his family & whole team provided a first-rate, good-value for money experience, the 5* reviews are well-deserved. Thank you team Dolphin Warrior! 😁
翻译:早起绝对值得😊
早上5点半,我们在集合地点与纳文碰面。他非常准时,而且做事井井有条。我们趟过齐腰深的水,来到快艇旁。纳文的儿子迪伦(拼写可能有误)热情地迎接我们上船,并向我们介绍了船长弗雷德里克。
我们听取了行程安排的简要说明(用英语和法语),还享用了热茶和美味的自制蛋糕(出自“老板”——纳文的妻子之手!😁)。
快艇以轻松舒适的速度沿着泻湖中的一条水道行驶,直到到达礁石的缺口处——然后它扬帆起航,寻找海豚🐬。我们很快就看到了几群(虽然数量不多)飞旋海豚,并有机会下水与它们互动。我们还非常幸运地看到了两只绿海龟!
穿过礁石回到泻湖后,我们有机会浮潜(我游泳技术不太好,觉得水流有点太急),但我们有很多时间待在水里,看到了各种各样的鱼,还有一只可爱的橙色章鱼。
我们涉水登上贝尼蒂耶岛(Ile aux Benitiers),发现我们的早午餐桌已经摆好,布置得也很精致(棉质刺绣桌布!)。服务员给我们送上了饮料,然后我们有充足的时间探索小岛,之后才坐下来享用悠闲轻松的早午餐——大约在上午10:45。
食物种类丰富,味道鲜美,烹饪得恰到好处——鱼肉非常新鲜多汁。饮料——软饮和酒精饮料——也都很充足(友情提示:自制的香料朗姆酒后劲十足!🤭)。
我们大约下午1点重新登上船,开始返程,大约下午2点就回到了车旁。
纳文和他的团队对我们照顾得无微不至,和他聊天时,我能明显感受到他真心希望所有乘客都能拥有难忘而愉快的体验。
他和他的家人以及整个团队提供了物超所值的优质服务,五星好评实至名归。谢谢海豚勇士号团队!😁
