点评:I met Seasmoke operators, Nate & Jeannine, on an expedition to Antarctica. When I learned where they spent their North American summers, I said "I'll come and visit you next time I'm on Vancouver Island." Little did I know that visiting them involved a 6.5 hour drive north of Victoria! Absolutely no regrets. Many say that Vancouver Island gets more beautiful and more interesting the further north you go and I am now part of that camp. Seasmoke is committed to educating and sharing the wildlife around Vancouver Island with visitors while protecting the environment, respecting the wildlife, and participating in research. They operate a covered boat, a must have in this part of the world, but the cover is clear and the vertical barriers are spread out which is good for photographers and general guest viewing. You'll be provided a warm float suit and a warm welcome.
翻译:我在一次南极探险中结识了Seasmoke号的船员内特和珍妮。当我知道他们夏季是在北美何处度过时,便说:“下次我到温哥华岛时一定会去拜访你们。”当时我完全没料到,要去拜访他们竟然需要从维多利亚市向北驱车6个半小时!不过我毫无遗憾。很多人都说,越往温哥华岛的北部走,景色就越美、越有趣,现在我也成了这么认为的人了。Seasmoke致力于向游客普及温哥华岛周边的野生动物知识,同时致力于环境保护、尊重野生动物并参与相关研究。他们使用的船只配有顶棚,这在当地环境中是必不可少的设施;不过顶棚是透明的,且垂直隔离板也分布得当,这为摄影爱好者及普通游客提供了极佳的观赏体验。您还将获得一件保暖的漂流服,并受到热情的接待。
