We thought we’d swim with whales… instead, we fought for our lives
Kiko's Swim with Whales Tours的点评
点评：We thought we’d swim with whales… instead, we fought for our lives
We booked this trip thinking it would be a dream. I told Kiko the day before: we are NOT strong swimmers, especially my husband. He promised us — with insistence — a guide who would stay with us at all times. We trusted him.
The next day, at the guide’s signal, I jumped in. Within seconds, he was far ahead, swimming fast. The current pulled me away from the group. Alone. Open sea. No one around. The boat was a distant blur. I waved frantically. No one saw me — except my husband, who had just jumped in, found himself completely alone, and immediately swam back to the boat.
I swallowed water, panic rising with every breath, certain I wouldn’t make it back. Someone finally noticed, and I was rescued. Shaking, in shock.
It gets worse: the law allows only 4 swimmers at a time. Instead, Kiko’s son smirked and told everyone to jump in — “lots of whales!” — sending 7 people into the water at once. When we got back, he told his father a different story in the local language. Kiko’s response? We should have “followed his son.”
We barely swam. We nearly drowned. And still — he made us pay the full $600. No apology. No concern. Just business.
This might be magical for expert swimmers. But if you’re not — you’re gambling with your life.

翻译：我们本以为能和鲸鱼一起畅游……结果却成了一场梦。
我们预订了这次旅行，以为这会是一场梦。前一天我告诉Kiko：我们游泳不怎么样，尤其是我丈夫。他坚持不懈地承诺会派一位向导全程陪伴我们。我们完全信任他。
第二天，向导发出信号后，我跳了下去。几秒钟之内，他就游得飞快，远远地跑在前面。水流把我从队伍中卷了出来。孤身一人。茫茫大海。周围空无一人。船在远处模糊不清。我拼命挥手。没有人看到我——除了我丈夫，他刚跳进去，发现自己孤身一人，立刻游回了船上。
我大口大口地喝着水，恐慌随着每一次呼吸而加剧，我确信自己回不来了。终于有人注意到了，我被救了出来。浑身颤抖，惊魂未定。
情况更糟了：法律规定一次只允许4人同时游泳。然而，Kiko的儿子却笑着叫大家跳下去——“好多鲸鱼！”——一下子把七个人都吓跑了。我们回来后，他用当地语言给他爸爸讲了个完全不同的故事。Kiko的反应是什么？我们应该“跟着他儿子”。
我们几乎没怎么游。差点被淹死。可他还是让我们付了600美元。没有道歉。一点也不关心。只是个生意。
对于游泳高手来说，这或许很神奇。但如果你不是——你就是在拿自己的生命冒险。
