点评:A last-minute decision, found us back in Indonesia kayaking again. Back on the best boat ever, the Jakare was our home on the water for exploring around the Komodo group of Islands, both by kayak and snorkeling, with the odd hike to break it up.
This area is well known for the amazing Komodo dragon, which only exists on five of these islands. But in fact, it is so much more than this. It is a unique environment in the world. Effectively a funnel between two great oceans, it brings amazing flows of water and associated nutrients through a narrow gap between islands.
This supplies the most abundant and diverse marine environment on the planet, and of course, our playground for eight days. Living onboard this beautiful vessel is an incredible way to travel, with the most amazing crew. Coupled with the organization and expert guiding of Southern Sea Ventures, it makes for an unbeatable trip.
There was great kayaking, exploring small sea caves, blowholes, and mangroves. Night paddling while watching the sunset over a volcano and returning to the boat, paddling through bioluminescence, were highlights on top of the water.
Underneath the water was a beautiful surprise. Snorkeling in this incredible part of the ocean is such a treat, with beautiful corals, an abundant variety of fish, and plenty of turtles.
Night time snorkeling also added a different view of the reef.
Off the water, we had some great but hot walks to spectacular viewpoints, and of course, tracking down the elusive Komodo dragon was a real treat, even if it did get a bit too close for comfort!
Add in the luxury of the Jakare and its wonderful crew, some good company, and the great insights of the area from our excellent guide, Elijah, and it made for a trip to remember.
翻译:在最后一刻,我们决定再次回到印度尼西亚划皮划艇。回到有史以来最好的船上,Jakare 是我们在水上的家,我们在那里探索科莫多群岛,既可以划皮划艇,也可以浮潜,偶尔还会徒步。
该地区以神奇的科莫多巨蜥而闻名,这种巨蜥只存在于其中五个岛屿上。但事实上,它远不止于此。它是世界上独一无二的环境。它实际上是两大洋之间的漏斗,通过岛屿之间的狭窄间隙带来了惊人的水流和相关营养物质。
这为地球上最丰富和最多样化的海洋环境提供了供应,当然,也是我们八天的游乐场。住在这艘漂亮的船上是一种令人难以置信的旅行方式,拥有最出色的船员。再加上 Southern Sea Ventures 的组织和专业指导,这将是一次无与伦比的旅行。
皮划艇很棒,探索了小海洞、喷水孔和红树林。夜间划船观赏火山上的日落,然后返回船上,划船穿过生物发光,这些都是水上的亮点。
水下是一个美丽的惊喜。在这片令人难以置信的海洋中浮潜是一种享受,这里有美丽的珊瑚、丰富的鱼类和大量的海龟。
夜间浮潜也为珊瑚礁增添了不同的景色。
在水面上,我们进行了一些很棒但炎热的步行,前往壮观的观景点,当然,追踪难以捉摸的科莫多巨蜥也是一种真正的享受,即使它离我们有点太近了!
再加上 Jakare 的豪华和出色的船员、一些好伙伴,以及我们优秀导游 Elijah 对该地区的绝佳见解,这次旅行令人难忘。
