点评:We were so excited for a unique experience to see Glaciar Jorge Montt. This is a once in a lifetime trip. We didn’t realize how hard it would be to find a reputable company to take us but Waeskar was willing. They just said they would look for more people to ride with us because we were only 4 and they wanted 6. Later that day, the day before our anticipated trip, they told us that we needed to find the other people or else pay for their spots. Not ideal and we even asked about getting a commission if we were to spend the rest of our evening hawking for this boat. Regardless, we did find 2 more people but there was no discount and we all rushed to depart by 9am the next morning. Unfortunately, our captain was 45 minutes late. We finally departed after that delay only to find out after nearly another hour that we didn’t have any gas. We had to turn around and go back, losing another hour. When we saw how much fuel they did have to load on the boat, it is baffling how they couldn’t have realized it was missing in the first place. We also had to stop 4-5 times during the journey to refuel.
We did make it to close to the glacier, better late than never. There were some choppy waters which had everyone clutching the side of the boat and we had the aforementioned fuel stops, but we did dock near the glacier for a surprisingly good risotto, some soup and some cocktails. We did hike a bit but it wasn’t the hour we were expecting. We saw other boats getting closer to the glacier but ours did not get as close as theirs. On the way back, our guide, Tomas, kept coming to the back of the boat to drink pisco from the bottle the guests were supposed to enjoy. We made it back two hours later than expected and with the exchange rate, paid close to $900 USD for 6 people.
The boat is nothing glamorous and the experience fell short of what we would expect for that amount of money. We did get close to the glacier but I think we would have been better off with a different tour company.
翻译:我们非常高兴能够看到 Glaciar Jorge Montt 的独特体验。这是一生一次的旅行。我们没有意识到要找到一家信誉良好的公司来接纳我们有多么困难,但 Waeskar 愿意。他们只是说他们会寻找更多的人和我们一起骑行,因为我们只有 4 岁,而他们想要 6 人。那天晚些时候,也就是我们预期旅行的前一天,他们告诉我们,我们需要找到其他人,否则就付钱给他们斑点。不太理想,我们甚至问过如果我们晚上剩下的时间都在兜售这艘船,是否能得到佣金。无论如何,我们确实又找到了 2 个人,但没有折扣,我们都赶在第二天早上 9 点之前离开。不幸的是,我们的船长迟到了 45 分钟。在那次延误之后,我们终于离开了,但又过了将近一个小时才发现我们没有汽油了。我们不得不掉头回去,又浪费了一个小时。当我们看到他们确实需要在船上装载多少燃料时,令人困惑的是他们一开始就没有意识到燃料不见了。我们还不得不在旅途中停下来加油4-5次。
我们确实做到了靠近冰川,迟到总比不到好。有一些波涛汹涌的水域,每个人都抓着船的一侧,我们有上述的加油站,但我们确实停靠在冰川附近,享用了令人惊讶的美味意大利调味饭、一些汤和一些鸡尾酒。我们确实徒步了一点,但这不是我们期待的时间。我们看到其他船只越来越靠近冰川,但我们的没有他们的那么近。在回来的路上,我们的导游托马斯一直走到船尾,用客人应该喜欢的瓶子喝皮斯科。我们比预期晚了两个小时回来,按照汇率,6 人支付了近 900 美元。
这艘船没什么迷人的,而且这种体验也没有达到我们对这笔钱的期望。我们确实接近了冰川,但我认为如果换一家旅游公司我们会更好。
