点评:I’m writing this review from the perspective of a Filipino-Canadian and biologist/ bird photographer.
First off, I want to say a huge thank you to Lalai, Laika, Tonton, Marshall (and their pup Cassie) for guiding and taking care of my wife and I. They are incredibly kind, supportive, flexible and anticipate our needs very well. They made sure our experience was as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
We chose tour 6 which included tamisan mangrove birding, taytay bay island hopping and snorkelling. The islands were secluded and the coral reefs were stunning. Fish were plentiful and very diverse. We were simply in awe for most of our trip. The food was also incredibly delicious and the fresh mangoes were especially *chef’s kiss*
Some things I’d like to know for the future:
- Safety briefing about the marine life and snorkelling practice/procedures.
- More information about the local communities in Palawan, geological history, and ecological importance of the habitats (more information & fun facts = more appreciation and care for the environment).
- Conservation initiatives and concerns around the area
- More specific species ID to the flora and fauna we were seeing.
- A field guide or laminated sheet of common fish species/ types of coral reef that can be found
The price: other reviews have commented that it’s more expensive than other tours around Palawan and while that is true, I think it’s fair given:
- a private, authentic and secluded experience
- fantastic service and guidance from staff. Laika knew where the best spots to snorkel were and is a great photographer. Tonton knew his fish species very well and assisted us in navigating around the boat. Marshall steered the ship safely in any weather condition and of course Lalai made sure we were comfortable and is a great chef.
Finally, booking with Malampaya Eco Tours means you’ll be supporting local, hardworking Filipinos (and their families) in making a comfortable living. And I’m all for empowering my fellow kabayan and championing our biodiversity! Maraming salamat po ulit ate Lalai and team ❤️
Highly recommend this amazing tour company and experience to others :)
翻译:我从菲律宾裔加拿大人和生物学家/鸟类摄影师的角度撰写这篇评论。
首先,我要非常感谢 Lalai、Laika、Tonton、Marshall(和他们的小狗 Cassie)指导和照顾我和我的妻子。他们非常善良、支持、灵活,并且很好地预测了我们的需求。他们确保我们的体验尽可能愉快和舒适。
我们选择了第 6 条线路,其中包括塔米桑红树林观鸟、泰泰湾跳岛游和浮潜。这些岛屿很隐蔽,珊瑚礁令人惊叹。鱼很多,种类繁多。我们在旅行的大部分时间里都惊叹不已。食物也非常美味,新鲜的芒果特别棒 *厨师之吻*
我希望将来了解的一些事情:
- 关于海洋生物和浮潜练习/程序的安全简报。
- 更多关于巴拉望当地社区、地质历史和栖息地生态重要性的信息(更多信息和趣闻 = 更多对环境的欣赏和关爱)。
- 该地区的保护举措和关注点
- 更具体了解我们看到的动植物物种。
- 实地指南或常见鱼类/珊瑚礁类型的层压板
价格:其他评论评论说它比巴拉望周围的其他旅游更贵,虽然这是事实,但我认为这是公平的,因为:
- 私人、真实和隐蔽的体验
- 工作人员的服务和指导非常棒。Laika 知道哪里是浮潜的最佳地点,并且是一位出色的摄影师。Tonton 非常了解他的鱼类,并帮助我们在船上导航。Marshall 在任何天气条件下都能安全地驾驶船只,当然 Lalai 确保我们感到舒适,并且是一位出色的厨师。
最后,预订 Malampaya Eco Tours 意味着您将支持当地勤劳的菲律宾人(及其家人)过上舒适的生活。我全力支持我的同胞并捍卫我们的生物多样性!Maraming salamat po ulit ate Lalai 和团队❤️
强烈推荐这家出色的旅游公司和体验给其他人 :)
