点评:I had visited the Great Blasket once before from Dingle but didn't have very long on the island on that occasion. The trip from Dunquin is faster, cheaper and gives you more time there, so you can join one of the free OPW tours and do some exploring on your own too. I had a lovely day there, with the sea calm and the cloud lifting just before we arrived, so we had glorious views.
I can't praise Blasket Island Ferries enough for all their help. I initally emailed from England, explaining that I would be coming by bus from Killarney and wasn't sure that I'd either make it to the pier to pick up my ticket in time for the 11.45 sailing or if I went an hour later, that I'd be able to get back to Killarney that day. Sibeal from the office answered all my emails very promptly, late into the evening, and confirmed the Dunquin bus should drop me at a turn which was less than 5 minutes from the pier, rather than the normal 20 minute walk down from Kruger's pub. That made all the difference, as the bus was delayed by road works and cyclists!
The company will text you the evening before to confirm whether the sailing will go ahead the next day and my original booking had to be cancelled because the waves at the pier were too high. But when I asked, Sibeal booked me in for the following week, and that trip went ahead without incident. Blasket sland Ferries' customer service is second to none and I highly recommend them. (The free guided tour is also excellent.)
翻译:我以前从丁格尔去过大布拉斯基特岛一次,但那次在岛上待的时间不长。从邓昆出发的行程更快、更便宜,而且时间也更充裕,所以你可以参加OPW的免费旅行团,自己探索一番。我在那里度过了美好的一天,海面平静,就在我们到达之前,云也开始散去,景色美不胜收。
布拉斯基特岛渡轮公司提供的帮助真是无微不至。我最初从英国发邮件给他们,解释说我会从基拉尼坐巴士过来,不确定能否赶上11:45的船票到码头取票,或者如果我晚一个小时出发,当天是否能赶回基拉尼。办公室的 Sibeal 非常及时地回复了我所有的电子邮件,直到深夜,并确认 Dunquin 巴士会把我送到离码头不到 5 分钟路程的拐弯处,而不是通常从 Kruger's 酒吧步行 20 分钟的地方。这真是太重要了,因为巴士因为道路施工和骑行者而延误了!
公司会在前一天晚上发短信确认第二天的航行是否继续,而我原来的预订因为码头的海浪太高而不得不取消。不过,当我询问后,Sibeal 帮我预订了下一周的行程,这次旅行顺利进行。Blasket sland Ferries 的客户服务无与伦比,我强烈推荐他们。(免费导览游也非常棒。)
