点评:I travelled back in September (bit late reviewing, sorry!) to fulfil a lifelong dream. Booked four days to swim with the whales. Definitely book more than one day as you will want more/it’s good to account for weather or the types of interaction you have with the whales. This is nature after all. Whale comfort was first and foremost, as well as our safety. It’s wonderful to be able to do such an amazing activity ethically. The crew are awesome and clearly have a wealth of experience! This is a family/women-run business with a lot of passion and knowledge of the whales. Guides Lusi and Lahaina were amazing…they know so much about the whales and were great at getting us swimming with them. Lusi even took some beautiful photos/videos of us on our swim, which we were so grateful for! I was picked up and dropped off from my accommodation, you are fed/watered on the boats and given a fair opportunity to have interactions with the whales. Be warned that to get the most out of the experience you should be a confident swimmer and be able to use a snorkel. Be prepared to move because to keep up with the whales you have to swim quite hard at times, so you will be gettint a good workout! Plus you will be on a boat for most of the day, and if you’re on their smaller boat then you will not be dry until you get back to your accommodation. The only downside was that communication a few months in advance to organise the swims was inconsistent. Being an anxious person I wanted to ask a lot of questions and have reassurances about payments, etc, and not having messages replied to made the process more tense than I would like. But that was a small thing compared to everything else that was wonderful. I would most certainly do this again and Deep Blue deserve the support/business! Thank you to everyone – Lusi, Soa, Aquari, Kiu, Lahaina, Latu, Lea, Siale and Joel - for giving a fantastic experience and looking after our groups. An unforgettable time in the Kingdom of Tonga!
翻译:我 9 月份再次旅行(评论有点晚了,抱歉!),以实现一生的梦想。预订了四天与鲸鱼一起游泳。一定要预订不止一天,因为你会想要更多/最好考虑天气或与鲸鱼的互动类型。毕竟这是大自然。鲸鱼的舒适度是最重要的,我们的安全也是最重要的。能够以合乎道德的方式进行如此精彩的活动真是太好了。船员们都很棒,显然经验丰富!这是一家由家庭/女性经营的企业,对鲸鱼充满热情和知识。导游 Lusi 和 Lahaina 很棒……他们对鲸鱼非常了解,非常擅长带我们与鲸鱼一起游泳。Lusi 甚至在我们游泳时为我们拍了一些漂亮的照片/视频,我们对此非常感激!有人接送我从我的住处,在船上喂食/饮水,并给了我一个与鲸鱼互动的公平机会。请注意,要充分利用这次体验,您必须是一个自信的游泳者,并且能够使用呼吸管。准备好移动,因为要跟上鲸鱼的速度,您有时必须游得非常辛苦,所以您将得到很好的锻炼!此外,您将在船上度过一天的大部分时间,如果您乘坐的是他们的小船,那么您直到回到住处才会干。唯一的缺点是,提前几个月组织游泳活动的沟通不一致。作为一个焦虑的人,我想问很多问题,并得到有关付款等方面的保证,但没有收到回复,这让我感到紧张。但与其他所有美好的事情相比,这是一件小事。我肯定会再次这样做,深蓝值得支持/做生意!感谢所有人——Lusi、Soa、Aquari、Kiu、Lahaina、Latu、Lea、Siale 和 Joel——为我们提供精彩的体验并照顾我们的团队。在汤加王国度过了难忘的时光!
