点评:What a wonderful experience! Truly felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity!
This is an early start but it is totally worth it. We were lucky enough to find an Air b n b a 10 minute drive away near Ruatoria which meant we didn’t have to travel too far or get up as early.
Monty is a great quide, he has such extensive knowledge of the area, the carvings, the landscape and New Zealand in general and was more than happy to try to answer any and every question we had. Learning about the carvings was great. The site has been so carefully thought out to tell Maui’s story and it was lovely hearing about his origins-(Moana is my only knowledge of Maui and it definitely doesn’t tell his story).
We were given plenty of time to self explore the site and take as many photos as we liked-Monty is also happy to help out with the pictures and videos.
The ride up in the ATV is a little bumpy but that all added to the fun of the whole experience. One thing to note is that the weather is not guaranteed. We were lucky enough to have an amazing sunrise but a fair amount of cloud in the area.
Monty had extra jackets on hand which was great as we went on a particularly windy day and we needed them. Hot tea and coffee is also provided as well as a lovely muesli, yoghurt and local honey breakfast which you eat while overlooking the valley and the sunrise-amazing!
Cannot recommend this tour enough!
翻译:多么美妙的体验!真的感觉这是千载难逢的机会!
虽然出发时间很早,但绝对值得。我们很幸运,在 Ruatoria 附近找到了一家 10 分钟车程外的 Air b n b,这意味着我们不必走太远或起得太早。
Monty 是一位很棒的向导,他对该地区、雕刻、景观和新西兰总体上有着广泛的了解,并且非常乐意回答我们的任何问题。了解雕刻很棒。该遗址经过精心设计,讲述了毛伊的故事,听到他的起源真是太好了(莫阿娜是我对毛伊的唯一了解,但它绝对没有讲述他的故事)。
我们有充足的时间自行探索该遗址并拍摄尽可能多的照片 - Monty 也很乐意帮助拍摄照片和视频。
乘坐 ATV 上山有点颠簸,但这一切都增加了整个体验的乐趣。需要注意的一点是天气无法保证。我们很幸运,看到了令人惊叹的日出,但该地区云层较多。
Monty 准备了额外的夹克,这很棒,因为我们去的那天风特别大,我们需要它们。还提供热茶和咖啡,以及美味的麦片、酸奶和当地蜂蜜早餐,您可以一边享用早餐,一边俯瞰山谷和日出 - 太棒了!
强烈推荐这次旅行!
