点评:My family of four (kids 18 and 14) did the Premium Dolphin experience. It was the highlight of our entire trip. Teenagers are hard to please and often too cool for things, but both were following all instructions for interacting with our lovely Maya. I'm not a fan of these animals being caged and performing for profit, but the training and enrichment they receive here seems like the are well taken care of.
Also included in our ticket was 20min aquarium trek, which was really neat! It seemed a bit scary at first and I was worried I'd feel claustrophobic but I felt really safe and comfortable the entire time. My 14yr old is a bit of a scardy cat and almost backed out but with a little nudge she was fine and said she really liked the whole thing. The staff was closeby the entire time taking photos and showing us tricks and letting us pet sting rays and puffer fish! Really unique experience!
I almost want to knock a star off for the price of the photos, over $400 for all of them (YIKES!), but for a family of 4, the excursion and photos came out to about $200pp, which I think is totally worth it for what we got out of the day. Truly a once in a lifetime experience that we'll never forget, so I just can't give anything less than 5*.
翻译:我们一家四口(一个18岁,一个14岁)体验了高级海豚体验。这是我们整个旅程的亮点。青少年很难取悦,而且经常装酷,但我们两个都严格遵守所有指示,与我们可爱的玛雅互动。我不喜欢这些动物被关在笼子里表演赚钱,但在这里,它们接受的训练和充实课程看起来得到了很好的照顾。
我们的门票还包含20分钟的水族馆徒步之旅,非常棒!一开始感觉有点吓人,我担心自己会感到幽闭恐惧,但整个过程中我都感到非常安全和舒适。我14岁的女儿有点胆小,差点退缩,但轻轻推了推她就没事了,还说她很喜欢整个过程。工作人员一直在旁边,给我们拍照,给我们表演技巧,还让我们抚摸黄貂鱼和河豚!真是一次独特的体验!
这些照片的价格我差点想扣一颗星,全部加起来超过400美元(哎呀!),但对于一个四口之家来说,这次旅行和照片加起来每人大约200美元,考虑到我们一天的收获,我觉得这完全值了。这真是一次毕生难忘的经历,所以我只能给五星好评。
