点评:We were unfortunately not satisfied with the service provided during our Island Hopping tour. The tour was advertised to include three main highlights: 1) Dolphin watching, 2) Snorkelling, and 3) Visits to Balicasag and the Virgin Island.
The booking process was smooth and the transition to the boat went well. However, the experience fell short:
* Dolphin Watching. Upon arriving at the first island, we were told there hadn’t been any dolphin sightings for over a week. While we understand nature can be unpredictable, this should have been communicated upfront earlier. As a young family, this is something you look forward to.
Snorkelling. We advised the team that the snorkels provided were broken, but despite this, we were still charged the full rate. No discount or alternative was offered, which was disappointing.
Virgin Island. We were only informed at the first island that Virgin Island was closed, and had apparently been closed for some time with no reopening expected until December. This was especially frustrating as it was one of the main reasons we booked the tour.
To be fair, the snorkel guide was excellent and made that part of the experience enjoyable.
Overall, it was poor communication that let the experience down. If key parts of the tour are unavailable, that should be made clear before booking, especially when charging full price (minimum 4,500 pesos). What’s presented on the website should reflect the actual experience.
Also, don’t expect the tour to last the full 5 to 6 hours as advertised unless you're happy to spend most of that time on a single beach.
Would recommend confirming all inclusions before booking to avoid disappointment.
翻译:很遗憾,我们对跳岛游的服务并不满意。宣传的行程包含三大亮点:1)观赏海豚;2)浮潜;3)游览巴里卡萨岛和维尔京群岛。
预订过程很顺利,上船过程也很顺利。然而,体验略有不足:
* 观赏海豚。抵达第一个岛屿后,我们被告知已经超过一周没有看到海豚了。虽然我们理解大自然的变幻莫测,但应该早点告知。作为一个年轻的家庭,这绝对是值得期待的体验。
浮潜。我们告诉团队提供的呼吸管坏了,但尽管如此,我们仍然被收取了全额费用。没有折扣或替代方案,这令人失望。
维尔京群岛。我们到达第一个岛屿后才被告知维尔京群岛已经关闭,而且似乎已经关闭了一段时间,预计要到12月才会重新开放。这尤其令人沮丧,因为这正是我们预订此行程的主要原因之一。
平心而论,浮潜导游非常出色,让这部分体验非常愉快。
总的来说,糟糕的沟通让这次体验大打折扣。如果行程的关键部分无法提供,应该在预订前明确告知,尤其是在收取全价(最低4500比索)的情况下。网站上展示的内容应该反映实际体验。
另外,不要指望行程会像广告宣传的那样持续5到6个小时,除非你愿意大部分时间都待在一个海滩上。
建议在预订前确认所有包含项目,以免失望。
