点评:We got lucky on a boat that had nobody else (we did not book a private tour, just no people showed up that day, we booked with Te Mara Nui in Raiatea) on holidays around FP, and were the first people to arrive to the area - ultimately it were just myself and the boat captain who led me through the motu to the start of the garden "ride" - make sure you take water shoes, not just because of the corals being sharp but also you need to walk through the motu to the beginning of the drift and it's not just a sandy motu :)
Once in the water the current takes you on its own, from time to time you need to adjust so you don't hit the corals - our boat captain took the lead and said when to follow and when to stop, I didn't scrape myself but was close to it once, and just hit my leg while standing - but I did see at the airport some really badly cut legs of other people... I can only imagine it had to be from the corals!
Our boat captain had some bananas with us and the fish went crazy for it - this was my top 3 snorkeling experience of my life, with Aitutaki in Cook Islands, and Bora Bora here in FP Being the other 2, it's a must while in Raiatea or Tah'a! We did a coral garden free drift in Maupiti, but not sure if it was the terrible weather that day or just that coral garden was nothing compare to this one here in Taha'a - tones of colorful fish!
The depth at most I was told is 2 meters, but it didn't feel like it really and it's a pretty shallow waters - one could probably walk here if not for the push of the current.
翻译:我们很幸运,在 FP 度假期间,船上没有其他人(我们没有预订私人旅行,只是那天没有人出现,我们预订了 Raiatea 的 Te Mara Nui),我们是第一批到达该地区的人 - 最终只有我和船长带我穿过小岛到达花园“骑行”的起点 - 一定要穿上水鞋,不仅因为珊瑚很锋利,而且你需要穿过小岛到达漂流的起点,而且它不仅仅是一个沙质小岛 :)
一旦进入水中,水流就会带你走,你需要不时调整,以免撞到珊瑚 - 我们的船长带头,告诉我什么时候跟上,什么时候停下来,我没有擦伤自己,但有一次很接近,只是站着撞到了我的腿 - 但我在机场确实看到其他人的腿被严重割伤......我只能想象这一定是被珊瑚划伤的!
我们的船长带了一些香蕉给我们,鱼儿们都为之疯狂——这是我一生中最好的三次浮潜体验,另外两个是库克群岛的艾图塔基岛和 FP 的波拉波拉岛,在 Raiatea 或 Tah'a 时,这是必游之地!我们在 Maupiti 进行了珊瑚花园自由漂流,但不知道是因为那天的天气太糟糕,还是珊瑚花园与 Taha'a 的珊瑚花园相比根本不算什么——五颜六色的鱼!
我被告知深度最多为 2 米,但实际上感觉不到,而且水很浅——如果不是水流的推动,人们可能可以走到这里。
