点评:We have just returned from APT' 15 day, Kimberley Complete Tour. To say it was an amazing wilderness adventure is an understatement. We loved the whole experience. There were 22 of us onboard the air conditioned 4wd bus, which was very comfortable. Our driver/ guide, Basil was a careful and excellent driver and his knowledge of the Kimberley and it's history and people, which he gave us was great. APT's wilderness lodges were stunning and it was great to finish the long days with a bit of luxury. The 3 course , chef prepared meals at the lodges were wonderful. Cable beach resort before and after was nice and the only accomodation and food which was sub standard was at Drysdale River Lodge. I had to cut the Barramundi lunch with a steak knife and it had been kept warm for a long time.
Do not take the fitness level required for this trip lightly.
We are quite fit in our mid 60's and 70 respectively. We hike a lot, all over the world and a couple of these were quite challenging, 3 point of contact hikes to get into the gorges. The hikes are graded, so please read the itinerary. A lot of people in our group did not appear to be hiking fit for the challenge required, did not have the correct clothing or footwear and did not drink sufficient water. The outback Kimberley is a wild and stunning place, so don't expect a cruise style, 5 star experience. This beats a small group camping trip hands down, to be able to have everything except alcohol included and tbe comfort of ensuited accomodation everywhere.
Absolutely worth every dollar - just go.
翻译:我们刚刚结束APT为期15天的金伯利完整之旅。说这是一次令人惊叹的荒野探险,一点也不为过。我们非常享受整个旅程。我们一行22人乘坐的是舒适的空调四轮驱动巴士。我们的司机兼导游Basil是一位细心且优秀的司机,他对金伯利及其历史和当地居民的了解非常丰富。APT的荒野小屋令人叹为观止,在漫长的一天后享受一点奢华的享受真是太棒了。小屋里由厨师烹制的三道菜非常美味。凯布尔海滩度假村的体验前后都很不错,唯一不太达标的住宿和餐饮是德赖斯代尔河小屋。午餐的澳洲肺鱼我不得不用牛排刀切开,因为它已经保温了很长时间。
不要轻视这次旅行所需的体能水平。
我们的身体状况相当不错,我们分别是60多岁和70多岁。我们经常徒步,足迹遍布世界各地,其中有几次相当具有挑战性,需要通过三个接触点才能到达峡谷。徒步路线都有等级划分,请务必仔细阅读行程安排。我们团队中很多人似乎体能不足以应对挑战,他们没有穿着合适的服装和鞋子,也没有喝足够的水。金伯利内陆地区是一个充满野性又令人惊叹的地方,所以不要期待像邮轮一样的五星级体验。这次的行程绝对比小型露营旅行好,因为除了酒水之外,其他一切都包含在内,而且到处都有舒适的独立住宿。
绝对物有所值——去吧。
