点评:My family and I booked Juneau Tours' Whale Watch & Mendenhall Glacier Combo Tour. We were picked up at our meeting place near the docks in Juneau at 10:30 am. There were enough people to fill 2 buses. They took us out to Auke Bay where we were divided into groups. Our group was small and we were put on a small boat (24 people). Others were put on larger boats which probably held 50+. Our captain was Jayden and our Environmentalist was Nate. Both were friendly and gave us lots of information about whales and their environment.
The bay was rough. If anyone is prone to seasickness, this is where it will hit. Lucky for us, this didn't bother us. Unfortunately, we only saw a couple of whales at a distance. When we did spot a whale, we were to get up on the deck for a clear view. The boat was so small, only about 3 people got near the rail. The rest of us stood behind them looking at their backs. (This boat was way too small for 24 people to get a view.) We did not see any other wildlife except an eagle. We did get to see the back of Mendenhall Glacier from the bay.
When we arrived back on land we were picked up by another bus and taken to Mendenhall Glacier. We had a beautiful, sunny day to see the Glacier and the waterfall. There was time to either hike out to the waterfall, visit the visitor's center, or walk around the grounds and down to the beach. You didn't have time for all of it. The bus picked us up at the scheduled time and took us back to downtown Juneau.
If I were to book again, I would want a guarantee that we got a bigger boat where we could actually see the water and not the backs of the people standing in front of us. Other than that, the staff and crew were professional and knowledgeable.
翻译:我和家人预订了朱诺旅行社的观鲸和门登霍尔冰川组合游。上午10:30,我们在朱诺码头附近的集合地点集合。人很多,坐满了两辆大巴。他们把我们带到奥克湾,在那里我们被分成几组。我们小组人不多,被安排在一艘小船上(24人)。其他人被安排在更大的船上,大概能容纳50多人。我们的船长是Jayden,我们的环保专家是Nate。他们两人都很友好,给了我们很多关于鲸鱼及其生存环境的信息。
海湾风浪很大。如果有人容易晕船,这里就是他最容易晕船的地方。幸运的是,我们并没有晕船。可惜的是,我们只在远处看到了几头鲸鱼。当我们真的看到鲸鱼时,就应该爬到甲板上去看清楚。船太小了,只有大约3个人靠近栏杆。我们其他人都站在鲸鱼后面,看着它们的背影。 (这艘船太小了,24个人根本没法欣赏到美景。)除了一只鹰,我们没有看到其他野生动物。不过,我们从海湾看到了门登霍尔冰川的背面。
回到陆地后,我们乘坐另一辆巴士前往门登霍尔冰川。天气晴朗,我们有机会欣赏冰川和瀑布。我们有足够的时间徒步前往瀑布,参观游客中心,或者在场地周围散步,然后下到海滩。我们没有足够的时间玩完所有这些。巴士按时接我们,并把我们送回了朱诺市中心。
如果我再次预订,我希望能够保证我们能订到一艘更大的船,这样我们才能真正看到水面,而不是站在我们前面的人的背影。除此之外,工作人员和船员都很专业,知识渊博。
