点评:Our day trip from Rarotonga to Aitutaki was a memorable experience, with a few bumps along the way.
The day didn’t get off to the best start. Our confirmation email advised a 7:20 am pickup, so we arrived at reception at 7:15 am only to see the bus driving away. Thankfully, the driver turned around and came back for us. At the airport, my husband and I were also separated on the flight, with him in row 2 and me in row 7. We were told we were “lucky last” and there were no seats together, which was a little disappointing.
Once we arrived in Aitutaki things improved. We enjoyed an open-air truck tour of the island before boarding the cruise. Aitutaki is absolutely stunning, with the most incredible turquoise water. We visited three islands, including the famous One Foot Island.
The crew were welcoming, entertaining and worked hard to make the day enjoyable. Lunch was fresh and satisfying, adding to what was a fantastic lagoon experience.
The return flight was unfortunately very turbulent due to a change in the weather, which made for a rather exciting end to the day. While that’s obviously beyond anyone’s control, it’s worth being aware that the plane is small and weather can impact flights.
Despite the rocky start and turbulent finish, Aitutaki Lagoon is beautiful and the cruise itself was a wonderful way to experience it. If you’re visiting Rarotonga, it’s definitely a day trip worth doing but book early.
翻译:我们从拉罗汤加岛到艾图塔基岛的一日游是一次难忘的经历,尽管途中也遇到了一些小插曲。
这一天的开始并不顺利。我们的确认邮件上写着早上7:20接我们,所以我们7:15就到了接待处,却看到巴士开走了。幸好司机掉头回来接我们。在机场,我和丈夫在飞机上也被分开了,他坐在第二排,我坐在第七排。我们被告知我们是“幸运的最后一班”,没有连在一起的座位,这让我们有点失望。
抵达艾图塔基岛后,情况有所好转。在登上游轮之前,我们乘坐敞篷卡车游览了全岛。艾图塔基岛美得令人窒息,拥有令人难以置信的碧绿海水。我们游览了三个岛屿,包括著名的“一脚岛”。
船员们热情友好,风趣幽默,尽心尽力让我们度过了愉快的一天。午餐新鲜美味,为我们精彩的泻湖之旅锦上添花。
很遗憾,返程航班由于天气变化而遭遇了剧烈颠簸,给这一天的行程画上了一个颇为惊险的句号。虽然天气状况显然不受任何人控制,但值得注意的是,飞机比较小,天气可能会影响航班。
尽管旅程开始得不太顺利,结束得也有些颠簸,但艾图塔基泻湖依然美丽动人,而游船之旅本身也是体验这片美景的绝佳方式。如果您计划前往拉罗汤加岛,这绝对是一次值得安排的一日游,但务必尽早预订。
