点评:We decided to stay at Menjangan Dynasty Resort which has a location very convenient for a trip to the park. We followed the recommendation of others and booked Idris an independent guide before we arrived. He met us at our hotel the previous evening to finalise details.
Not being particularly proficient with water-based activities, we opted for an extended hike around Bunbrum Savannah Forest. Staying at the resort allows a departure by boat leaving the jetty at 6.30am for a 20-minute journey to the park and returning to our hotel by the same route at 11:15. The longer hike takes you to higher elevations and we saw several species of bird as well as long tailed Black Monkeys and deer. Idris is a knowledgeable guide skilled at identifying birds, animals, and medicinal plants. While we did see most available species, generally the park has limited wildlife diversity and numbers. Apart from Bali Starling and Black Monkey sightings, there was nothing that could not be viewed elsewhere.
The cost at 2.8m is expensive by Indonesian standards paying well over 3x more than any other service bought during our extended trip including some longer activities. It was in initially even more but when queried, Idris did come back with a lower quote for the longer hike that representing slightly improved value. Costs will include all fees and park entry permits. He will also provide good binoculars if required.
Now that we have completed our trip, while we are sure Idris maximised the benefit of what was on offer, not sure in hindsight whether this trip to the park overall offered good value.
翻译:我们决定入住孟加冈王朝度假村 (Menjangan Dynasty Resort),这里地理位置优越,方便前往公园。我们听从了其他人的建议,在抵达之前预订了一位名为伊德里斯 (Idris) 的独立导游。前一天晚上,他在酒店与我们会面,敲定了所有细节。
由于对水上活动并不十分熟悉,我们选择了在邦布鲁姆草原森林 (Bunbrum Savannah Forest) 周围进行一次长途徒步旅行。入住度假村后,我们可以乘船,早上 6:30 从码头出发,20 分钟后到达公园,并于 11:15 沿原路返回酒店。长途徒步旅行会带我们到达更高的海拔,我们看到了几种鸟类以及长尾黑猴和鹿。伊德里斯是一位知识渊博的导游,擅长识别鸟类、动物和药用植物。虽然我们看到了大多数可观察到的物种,但总体而言,公园里的野生动物多样性和数量有限。除了看到巴厘椋鸟和黑猴外,几乎没有其他地方看不到的景象。
2.8米的费用以印尼的标准来看,相当昂贵,比我们这次长途旅行(包括一些更长时间的活动)中购买的其他服务贵了三倍多。一开始价格甚至更高,但经过询问,Idris 给出了更低的报价,但价格略有提升。费用包含所有费用和公园入场证。如果需要,他还会提供优质的双筒望远镜。
现在我们的行程已经结束,虽然我们确信 Idris 充分利用了所提供的服务,但事后看来,我们不确定这次公园之旅是否物有所值。
