An ideal adventure, even for the inexperienced
Sand Dune Adventures - Tours的点评
点评:We drove up from Sydney for this hour on the quad bikes over the dunes and regarded it as well worthwhile (with signing in and shifting to where the bikes were probably double that time is required). It could have been longer! Catering for couples (unlike other similar tours that we investigated) and singles (the singles get to tackle the higher dunes) the professional guides handled the inexperienced and experienced with aplomb. A good quick set of instructions before we set off and then it was off to the dunes.
We'd read the on-line bits before arriving so wore enclosed shoes, long pants, and sunnies, and I felt sorry for the people in shorts (hot bike engine plus odd bits of scrub might have made parts of their trek a bit uncomfortable).
The only downside was the on-line rigmarole before getting to the Cultural Centre - for families it would have been fine though plenty of screens to fill in or agree to, but for a group of friends when the system wanted names, addresses, emails, phone numbers and dates of birth, plus signatures on the screen, I was ready to scream long before we started. Luckily the following experience more than made up for the Internet frustrations.
And despite the warning about snakes was glad that we never saw any! Those dunes go for miles and if you crave a bit of adventure without too much risk then this particular adventure is highly recommended.
翻译:我们从悉尼驱车前来,体验了一小时的四轮摩托车沙丘之旅,感觉非常值得(如果算上登记和换乘的时间,可能要花两倍的时间)。如果时间再长一些就更好了!与其他我们考察过的类似行程不同,这里既有情侣也有单人游客(单人游客可以挑战更高的沙丘),专业的向导们对经验丰富和经验不足的游客都应对自如。出发前,向导们给我们做了简短的讲解,然后我们就出发前往沙丘了。
我们事先在网上查阅了相关信息,所以穿了封闭式的鞋子、长裤和太阳镜。我有点同情那些穿短裤的人(摩托车引擎的热量加上一些灌木丛可能会让他们在旅途中感到不舒服)。
唯一的缺点就是去文化中心之前那繁琐的网上登记流程——对家庭来说或许还好,虽然要填写很多信息或同意一些条款,但对我们一群朋友来说,系统居然要我们填写姓名、地址、邮箱、电话号码、出生日期,还要在屏幕上签名,我还没开始就快要崩溃了。好在接下来的经历完全弥补了网上登记的麻烦。
虽然之前有人警告说有蛇,但我很高兴我们一条也没看到!那些沙丘绵延数英里,如果你渴望体验一点冒险又不想冒太大风险,那么强烈推荐这次探险之旅。
