点评:My son and I took a zodiac tour with Captain Lowell Dixon this past weekend as part of our Canada-Day long weekend adventure tour of Cape Breton. It was fantastic!!! The zodiac boat is the way to do it, with some "wildness" (eg. spray of the waves, and quick nimble turns), but still with the feeling of stability. We were able to see a large whale (or shark) breach the water close to us. Captain Lowell was very diligent is searching the best spots for whale sightings, and was also very responsive to our many questions. The length of the tour, at just a bit under two hours, was perfect. Make sure you listen to the advice that Captain Lowell gives about what to wear on the boat. He made a point of checking our attire before we boarded. While we may have doubted the need to wear a rain/wind jacket due to how warm it felt on shore, he was bang on what the conditions would be once we got out on the water. And safety was top of mind - making sure life preservers were worn, and giving a clear safety briefing before boarding.
Also, all communications before and after the trip were prompt and professional. And we even got tips on good places in the area to get a great seafood lunch after the tour was over.
Thanks, Dixon Zodiac Seafari, for a superb whale watching adventure that we will remember!

此外,旅行前后的所有沟通都是及时和专业的。我们甚至得到了关于该地区好地方的提示,以便在旅行结束后享用美味的海鲜午餐。
感谢 Dixon Zodiac Seafari,感谢您为我们带来了一次精彩的观鲸之旅!
