点评:I booked a whale shark snorkeling tour through a salesman on the beach (Oliver) and had a terrible experience.
Firstly Oliver didn’t confirm I could definitely go until 3 minutes before my pick up time and then was incredibly rude when I wasn’t sat on the pavement waiting when he arrived.
The day we went out other tour companies cancelled due to bad weather however ours went out anyway. We didn’t even get to the area where whale sharks can be seen before we had to turn around for bad weather. We then moored up at the end of the island for food and ‘rest’. It was still raining so we asked to go straight home instead but the captain said no. The second snorkel point we also didn’t attempt to go to for bad weather. When we returned home we were all refused any form of refund or alternative trip despite being given absolutely no warning that this would be the case when we paid.
Furthermore, the day I was originally due to go was cancelled due to bad weather, which is absolutely understandable, however I wasn’t told until 30 minutes after my pick up time, and my calls and texts were ignored.
The boss we spoke to was also incredibly rude and didn’t seem remotely bothered at the idea of a bad review as they know they are a tourist trap. Overall a terrible experience and complete waste of money. That said, our English speaking guide Alex was lovely and very knowledgable.
翻译:我通过海滩上的销售员(Oliver)预订了鲸鲨浮潜之旅,但体验非常糟糕。
首先,Oliver 直到我上车前三分钟才确认我是否可以去,然后,当他到达时,我没有坐在人行道上等我,Oliver 的态度非常粗鲁。
我们出发的那天,其他旅行社因为天气不好取消了行程,但我们的旅行社还是去了。我们甚至还没到能看到鲸鲨的区域就因为天气不好不得不返航。之后,我们停泊在岛的尽头吃饭和“休息”。当时还在下雨,所以我们要求直接回家,但船长拒绝了。第二个浮潜点我们也因为天气不好而放弃了。回到家后,我们被拒绝了任何形式的退款或改期,尽管我们付款时根本没有收到任何警告。
此外,我原定的行程当天因为天气原因取消了,这完全可以理解,但我直到上车时间过了30分钟才收到通知,而且我的电话和短信都被忽略了。
我们采访的老板也非常粗鲁,似乎一点也不介意差评,因为他们知道自己是个旅游陷阱。总的来说,这是一次糟糕的体验,完全是浪费钱。不过,我们的英语导游Alex非常友善,知识渊博。
