点评:⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Scenery, but a Disappointing Overall Experience
The 360 tour of San Cristóbal booked through Big Fish Tour was a mixed experience for me. Wilson, our guide, and Luis, his assistant, were both friendly and helpful, and the food, snacks, and selection of drinks were all good. The scenery around the island was beautiful, and I appreciated the opportunity to visit several locations. Unfortunately, the wildlife sightings were quite limited during my trip, particularly at Kicker Rock, where we spent about 30 minutes snorkeling in rough water and saw only a turtle, a sea lion, and some smaller fish. Of course, wildlife is unpredictable, and no tour operator can guarantee what you will see.
Several other factors made the day less enjoyable. The motorboat had a strong gasoline smell during the first 45 minutes, which I found unpleasant and which may have contributed to the nausea I experienced later. The rough seas didn’t help, and the snorkeling equipment I was given did not function comfortably in deeper water. The crew tried to address the problem, but it persisted, and returning to the boat in the heavy waves was physically demanding. I recognize that many of these circumstances were beyond anyone’s control, and I have no particular complaints about the efforts of our guide and assistant. They did their best to make everyone comfortable. However, considering the length and cost of the excursion, the overall experience fell short of my expectations. Others may have a very different experience, but for me, it was a long and tiring day that didn’t deliver the memorable wildlife encounter I had hoped for.
翻译:⭐⭐⭐ 风景优美,但整体体验令人失望
通过Big Fish Tour预订的圣克里斯托巴尔360度环岛游给我的体验参差不齐。我们的导游威尔逊和他的助手路易斯都十分友善且乐于助人,提供的食物、零食及各种饮料也不错。岛上的风景确实很美,能参观多个景点也让我感到欣喜。遗憾的是,在我旅行期间能看到的野生动植物相当有限,尤其是在基克岩一带。我们在那里花了约30分钟在波涛汹涌的海水中浮潜,但只看到了一只海龟、一只海狮以及一些小鱼。当然,野生动物的出现具有不确定性,没有任何旅行社能够保证你能看到什么。
还有几个因素让这一天变得不那么愉快。在最初的45分钟里,摩托艇上弥漫着浓重的汽油味,这让我感觉很不舒服,很可能也是后来我感到恶心的原因。汹涌的海浪更是雪上加霜。我得到的浮潜设备在较深的水域中使用起来并不顺手。工作人员试图解决这一问题,但问题依旧存在;在波涛汹涌的海面上返回船上也极为费力。我明白这些状况大多并非人力所能控制,对于导游和助手的努力我也没有什么可抱怨的——他们已竭尽全力让所有人都感到舒适。不过,考虑到此次旅行的时长与费用,整体体验未能达到我的预期。其他人可能会有截然不同的感受,但对我而言,这一天漫长又疲惫,也没能带来我所期待的那种令人难忘的与野生动物的邂逅。
