点评:I'm a local conservationist who works on KI with marine mammals, and I was blown away by this tour. You can’t access the stunning coves, cliffs, and wildlife hotspots without a boat on the north of KI, so it was very special.
Phil and Ro’s knowledge and passion made this tour so much more than sightseeing. They shared their backyard and told stories that connected with the landscape and the animals we encountered. It was a nice balance of education, storytelling, elation when spotting wildlife, peaceful moments bobbing near the rocks, and speedboat cruising beside the cliffs. Their insights into local marine issues such as the current harmful algal bloom showed how connected they are to the environment.
We saw sea lions, dolphins, and raptors, and were able to help with wildlife surveys. Morning tea was freshly baked by Ro, and I particularly enjoyed sipping pomegranate tea from a reusable flask while floating near the seals hauling on the nearby rocks.
I'd recommend this tour to anyone who loves wild places and meaningful experiences.
翻译:我是一名当地环保人士,在基韦斯特岛(KI)从事海洋哺乳动物保护工作,这次旅行让我深受震撼。在基韦斯特岛北部,没有船就无法到达那些令人惊叹的海湾、悬崖和野生动物热点地区,所以这次旅行非常特别。
Phil 和 Ro 的知识和热情让这次旅行不仅仅是观光。他们分享了他们的后院,并讲述了与景观和我们遇到的动物相关的故事。这段旅程在知识、故事、发现野生动物的兴奋、在岩石旁悠闲地摇曳的宁静时光以及在悬崖边乘快艇巡游之间取得了完美的平衡。他们对当地海洋问题(例如当前有害的藻华)的见解表明了他们与环境的紧密联系。
我们看到了海狮、海豚和猛禽,并有机会参与野生动物调查。Ro 为我们准备了新鲜泡制的早茶,我特别喜欢用可重复使用的保温杯啜饮石榴茶,一边漂浮在附近岩石上拖拽的海豹附近。
我会向所有热爱野外探险和有意义经历的人推荐这次旅行。
