点评:The tour operators certainly delivered on what was promised. Plenty of great up-close encounters with humpback whales. The resort at which the tour group was based (Tongan Beach Resort) was a paradise. Our tour group, which was on the small side with 6 participants, was wonderful – we really lucked out with 6 great people arriving from 3 different countries. We never had problems rotating which snorkelers were getting in the water each day. I also enjoyed that our groups ate all of our meals together every day – we really seemed to bond over our amazing whale snorkeling experience. Our guide Annah did an amazing job, first with the pre-trip logistics and responding to questions, and then with the actual snorkeling activities.
The only complaint that I can mention is that we didn’t have a working bathroom on the boat for the five days we were using it. I didn’t need it (thanks to a couple minutes in the ocean), but it would have been reassuring to have in the event I needed it.
Overall though, this trip was one I will remember fondly for the rest of my life, and I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in snorkeling with the whales of Tonga.
翻译:旅行社确实兑现了承诺。我们与座头鲸近距离接触的机会非常多。旅行团所在的度假村(汤加海滩度假村)简直就是天堂。我们的旅行团规模不大,只有6人,但非常棒——我们真的很幸运,有6位来自3个不同国家的优秀人士。我们每天都会轮流浮潜,没有任何问题。我也很享受我们每天一起吃饭——我们似乎真的因为这次精彩的鲸鱼浮潜体验而建立了深厚的友谊。我们的导游安娜做得非常出色,首先是行前准备和解答问题,其次是实际的浮潜活动。
我唯一想说的就是,在我们乘坐的5天里,船上没有可用的卫生间。我不需要它(因为在海里待了几分钟),但如果有的话,万一我需要的话,我会安心的。
总的来说,这次旅行是我一生难忘的一次旅行,我强烈推荐任何有兴趣与汤加鲸鱼一起浮潜的人参加这次旅行。
