点评:It was one of my dreams to snorkle with turtles and Petite Terre seemed one of the likeliest places to do that. We contacted Tarzon who came highly recommended and he assured us that the best day to do that on that week was Dec 4, so we booked the speedboat trip. To summarize the trip to Petite Terre, imagine you're on a roller coaster for 45 min, receiving full buckets of water every 30 seconds, with high winds and occasional hailstones, that's how nice it was :-(. The 12 of us arrived on Petite Terre alive (because our Skipper Nathan was excellent!!!), but one had vomited all the way, my teeth were rattling from the cold, and most of us were in choc and needed rhum to relax (which fortunately was provided). After that and when the rain had stopped, we walked to he lighthouse and saw loads of iguanas and finally, it was time to snorkle. Unfortunately, the current was very strong in the lagoon so the water was often blurry, and there weren't any sharks around and not a lot of fish. But the turtles were there, and we could swim around many of them which was amazing. So even though this ended well, this trip is not for everybody! Useful tips: 1. the rockiest seas happen in the winter time because there are less clouds so it's more windy (thanks again Nathan for this info). 2. Don't blindly trust the TO's who are just trying to sell the trip.
翻译:与海龟一起浮潜一直是我的梦想之一,而小特尔岛似乎是最有可能实现这个梦想的地方之一。我们联系了备受好评的塔尔松,他向我们保证,那周最佳的浮潜日期是12月4日,于是我们预订了快艇之旅。总结一下小特尔岛之旅,想象一下你坐了45分钟的过山车,每30秒就被一桶水浇个透,还伴有狂风和偶尔的冰雹,就是这么“美好”:-(。我们12个人最终都活着到达了小特尔岛(多亏了我们的船长内森,他太棒了!!!),但有一个人一路都在呕吐,我的牙齿冻得咯咯作响,我们大多数人都醉得不省人事,需要喝点朗姆酒放松一下(幸好船上有)。之后,等雨停了,我们步行前往灯塔,看到了许多鬣蜥,最后终于到了浮潜的时间。可惜的是,泻湖里的水流非常急,所以水经常浑浊,周围没有鲨鱼,鱼也不多。不过海龟倒是不少,我们可以和很多海龟一起游泳,真是太棒了。所以,尽管这次旅行最终还算顺利,但它并不适合所有人!实用小贴士:1. 海域礁石密布这种情况多发于冬季,因为云量较少,风力较大(再次感谢Nathan提供的信息)。2. 不要盲目相信那些只想推销行程的旅行社。
