点评:This was such a wonderful experience. There is plenty of parking at the garage near the ferry, it is about 48$ for the entire day so be aware of that. You will want to follow their instructions and print and complete your paperwork before arriving. Most people don't do this and have to go stand off to the side and complete it there, causing a backlog of people in the waiting area. The earlier in the line you are the earlier your boarding pass is- we were able to get in on the first boarding group (called up in groups of 25). There are cabins that are air conditioned or you can sit on the deck. You will want to bring water bottles, sunscreen and towels for sure. There are places on board to refill your water bottle and you can return to the ship when it is docked to refill again.
They provide you with breakfast (cereal, fruit, bagels, OJ and coffee) on the trip out to the island and while there you get a sub, chips, cookie and soft drink. There are dry changing stations on the island and you can use the toilet on the ship as there are none on the island.
While at the fort we chose to listen to the first 20 minute speech about the history of it and then went on the following hour long tour. It was very interesting and we enjoyed it. There was still plenty of time to snorkle and have lunch after. If you have kids they can do the Junior Ranger program by completing a packet onboard and turning it in to the gift shop to receive a pin and be sworn in as Junior Ranger. It's a cute program to do.
Snorkeling was not bad- the water was pretty clear on the day we went. Saw a large variety of fish and we used their equipment so it was nice to not have to haul it all back and forth.
翻译:这是一次非常棒的体验。渡轮附近的停车场有很多停车位,全天停车费大约48美元,请注意这一点。您需要按照他们的指示,在抵达前打印并填写好表格。大多数人都没有这样做,不得不走到旁边去填写,导致候船区排起了长队。您排队越早,登船牌就越早——我们很幸运地加入了第一批登船组(每25人一组叫号)。船上有带空调的客舱,您也可以坐在甲板上。一定要带上水瓶、防晒霜和毛巾。船上有可以补充水的地方,靠岸后您也可以再次登船补充。
前往岛屿的途中,他们会提供早餐(麦片、水果、百吉饼、橙汁和咖啡),到达岛上后,您还可以享用三明治、薯片、饼干和软饮料。岛上设有干式更衣室,由于岛上没有厕所,您可以使用船上的厕所。
在堡垒参观时,我们先听了20分钟的历史介绍,然后参加了接下来一个小时的游览。游览非常有趣,我们也很享受。之后还有充足的时间浮潜和享用午餐。如果您带着孩子,他们可以参加“少年巡护员”项目,只需在船上填写一份资料包,然后交给礼品店,即可获得一枚徽章并宣誓成为少年巡护员。这是一个很有趣的活动。
浮潜体验还不错——我们去的那天海水非常清澈。我们看到了各种各样的鱼,而且使用的是船上提供的设备,所以不用自己来回搬运,感觉很方便。
