点评:Our trip in July 2025 with Trans Niugini Tours war very disappointing. We had booked a four-day river cruise to visit remote indigenous tribes. However, the company hadn't informed the manager on site or boat crew about the upcoming tour. Upon our arrival, everyone was surprised and unaware of our group and we were told that now the boat tour couldn't take place due to low water levels. Had they been informed in a timely manner, they would have moved the boat to the main river with higher water levels and transported us there by motorboat. Now everything had to be improvised, and we only saw a fraction of what was planned. The company acknowledged their shortcoming and mistakes and we did receive a small partial refund, but only for the part of the boat tour not taking into account our disappointment that the most interesting part of our tour and our reason for booking with this company did not happen. And you can’t just rebook the 3 nights boat tour as from Port Moresby it takes four days and three flights just to get to the boat and back, which is expensive and time-consuming.
Additionally the Karawari Lodge we had to stay instead, has several maintenance issues: no water in shower, missing floorboards, run down car... The last two fotos show the condition of the road to and from the lodge to the airport and down to the motorboat and the missing headlights of the car. We used this road at least 4 times a day.
翻译:我们2025年7月参加的Trans Niugini Tours旅行团非常令人失望。我们预订了为期四天的河轮之旅,目的是探访偏远地区的土著部落。然而,该公司并未事先通知当地经理或船员即将进行的行程。抵达后,所有人都感到惊讶,对我们一行人毫不知情。我们被告知,由于水位过低,游船之旅无法成行。如果他们能及时收到通知,他们本可以将船转移到水位较高的主河道,然后用快艇接我们过去。现在一切都只能临时安排,我们最终只体验到了原计划的一小部分。该公司承认了他们的疏忽和错误,并给予了我们部分退款,但这仅仅是游船之旅的费用,完全没有考虑到我们此行最期待的部分——也是我们选择这家公司的原因——未能成行所带来的失望。而且,由于从莫尔兹比港往返码头需要四天时间和三次航班,既费钱又费时,所以无法重新预订这趟三晚的游船之旅。
此外,我们不得不改住的卡拉瓦里旅馆也存在诸多维护问题:淋浴没水、地板缺失、汽车破旧不堪……最后两张照片展示了往返旅馆、机场以及前往快艇码头的道路状况,以及汽车缺失的前大灯。我们每天至少要走这条路四次。
