点评:We had the absolute best day out on the water with Native Guidance, led by Captain Larry and DoroSea. What makes them so special is their deep-rooted connection to the area—both have spent their lives on and in the water, diving, living on a houseboat, and exploring the Keys since childhood. That lifetime of experience gives them a level of insight and authenticity that’s hard to find.
Our tour included a peaceful trip to Marvin Key, where we cruised through mangroves and explored shallow areas. DoroSea would actually hop out of the boat and guide us through different spots to search for shells and observe wildlife. Her love for the environment really shines through—she’s incredibly respectful and protective of the natural surroundings.
The amount of wildlife we saw was amazing. I couldn’t even keep track of it all, but here are just some of the highlights:
Sea life: dolphins, bull shark, lemon shark, stingrays, needlefish, jackknife fish, parrotfish, spadefish, minnows, sergeant majors, shiners, crabs.
Birds: roseate spoonbills, pelicans, cormorants, herons (including tri-colored), egrets, and frigates.
The vibe on the boat was super relaxed—laid-back music played softly, and they even provided a big cooler of ice for our drinks and snacks. Every little detail was thoughtful. Captain Larry and DoroSea are friendly, knowledgeable, and just wonderful guides.
Native Guidance offers other kinds of excursions too, but we were especially interested in the eco/nature experience, and it exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for a genuine, low-key, and nature-filled outing in the Keys, don’t hesitate—book with Native Guidance!
翻译:我们在Native Guiden的带领下度过了最美好的一天,由Larry船长和DoroSea带领。他们与这片土地的深厚渊源让彼此格外特别——他们两人从小就生活在水上和水中,潜水、住在船屋里,探索群岛。这种毕生的体验赋予了他们难得的洞察力和真实性。
我们的行程包括一次宁静的马文礁之旅,我们在那里乘船穿越红树林,探索浅水区。DoroSea会跳下船,带我们去不同的地点寻找贝壳,观察野生动物。她对环境的热爱显而易见——她对自然环境极其尊重和保护。
我们看到的野生动物数量之多令人惊叹。我甚至没能全部看完,但以下是一些亮点:
海洋生物:海豚、牛鲨、柠檬鲨、黄貂鱼、针鱼、刀鱼、鹦嘴鱼、黑鲳、小鱼、军曹鱼、银鱼、螃蟹。
鸟类:玫瑰琵鹭、鹈鹕、鸬鹚、苍鹭(包括三色鹭)、白鹭和军舰鸟。
船上的氛围超级轻松——轻柔的音乐悠扬,他们甚至还提供了一个装满冰块的大冰柜,用来盛放我们的饮料和零食。每一个小细节都经过深思熟虑。Larry 船长和 DoroSea 非常友好、知识渊博,而且是非常棒的导游。
Native Guidance 也提供其他类型的短途旅行,但我们尤其对生态/自然体验感兴趣,它超出了我们所有的预期。如果您正在寻找一次真实、低调且充满自然气息的基韦斯特郊游,请不要犹豫 - 预订 Native Guidance!
