点评:What a wonderful trip! We booked this tour, not really expecting anything outstanding, boat trip and a walk around the island. How wrong were we! The trip starts at the Kilrush Marina, a lovely building with excellent facilities, coffee, snacks and toilets (which were spotless). The boat trip went on time and we were welcomed aboard by the lovely crew. The journey time across to the island is quite short, maybe 15 mins. We were welcomed on to the island by the Office of Public Works (OPW) tour guides. There are a number of guides and they split us in to different groups and gave us a detailed tour of the sights on the island. They were knowledgeable about the history, myths and stories and had a few funny jokes thrown in too. Our guide was Eamonn and he was a great guide.
As it was Heritage week, there were crafts people in the cottages showing you how to tie knots, weave baskets and make fishing nets. After the tour, you had time to explore on your own. It was also a celebratory occasion and the Bishop!!! came to the Island and delivered mass in the ruin of the church, there was a choir as well, very moving and delighted to have experienced this.
It was a beautiful sunny day and some people had brought picnics and wine! There are plenty of places to stop and lay out your picnic. The trip lasted 3.5 hours in total. Highly recommend it, good value for money and a beautiful island with a lot of care and thought put in to the way it is laid out for tourists. Enjoy!
翻译:真是一次美妙的旅行!我们预订了这次行程,原本并没有期待什么特别的,只是乘船游览和环岛漫步。结果我们大错特错!旅程从基尔拉什码头出发,这是一座漂亮的建筑,设施一流,咖啡、小吃和卫生间(一尘不染)。船程准时,我们受到了热情的船员的热情欢迎。到岛上的航程很短,大概15分钟。公共工程办公室(OPW)的导游热情地迎接了我们。导游团队有很多,他们把我们分成不同的小组,带我们详细地参观了岛上的景点。他们对历史、神话和故事都很了解,还会穿插一些有趣的笑话。我们的导游是埃蒙,他是一位非常棒的导游。
由于当天是文化遗产周,小屋里有手工艺人教你如何打结、编织篮子和制作渔网。游览结束后,你可以自由探索。这也是一次值得庆祝的盛事,主教!!!还亲自来到岛上,在教堂废墟中主持弥撒,还有唱诗班在场,这样的经历令人感动,也令人欣喜。
那天阳光明媚,有些人还带了野餐和葡萄酒!岛上有很多地方可以停下来野餐。行程总共持续了3.5小时。强烈推荐,物有所值,岛屿风景优美,游客的体验也经过了精心设计。好好享受吧!
