点评:We decided the skip the expensive cruise excursions and go out on our own. We had to be back at the ship by 1, so we didn’t want to venture too far away. This ended up being a good choice.
In Freeport there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to walk to outside of the port area. Within the port area there are taxi drivers who will greet you and you can tell them where you want to go.
For $40 per person they took us to Lucayan National Park and Black Rock beach. Our driver stayed parked there the whole time so we could leave whenever we wanted to.
About a 30 minute drive, we got to a parking lot where we paid to get into the park. I don’t remember the exact breakdown but for 4 adults and one child (under 12) it was $50. The park was a short loop trail. Mostly flat (not wheelchair accessible) with stairs leading into the caves. The caves have viewing platforms - you’re not going to be wandering through, just looking. Bats, fish, pretty blue water. Along the trail were signs about the wildlife and trees. We saw butterflies and birds and lizards. I think we only spent about 20 minutes in that loop. I would have enjoyed more longer trails but it seems like that’s all there was.
We then walked right across the road to Black Rock beach. It was nearly empty with only one other family. Later 2 larger tour groups came through, but most of the time it was just the 2 small groups. The beach itself is truly beautiful and peaceful. Soft sand and perfect turquoise water. Little to no seaweed. Low tide meant plenty of space to stroll through shallow water. There was a local who was renting out chairs, though we chose not to. And selling food. Looked like he was setting up a grill. We bought a fresh coconut which he prepared for us to drink then then cut up for us to eat, and some chips.
When we were ready we just went back to the waiting cab driver and got back to port by around noon.
翻译:我们决定放弃昂贵的游轮旅行,自己出去玩。我们必须在 1 点之前回到船上,所以我们不想走太远。这最终是一个不错的选择。
在弗里波特,似乎没有任何地方可以步行到港口区以外的地方。在港口区内,出租车司机会迎接你,你可以告诉他们你想去哪里。
每人 40 美元,他们带我们去了卢卡亚国家公园和黑岩海滩。我们的司机一直停在那里,所以我们可以随时离开。
大约 30 分钟的车程,我们到达了一个停车场,在那里我们付钱进入公园。我不记得确切的明细,但对于 4 名成人和 1 名儿童(12 岁以下),费用为 50 美元。公园是一条短环形小径。大部分是平坦的(不适合轮椅通行),有楼梯通往洞穴。洞穴有观景台 - 你不会漫步其中,只是看看。蝙蝠、鱼、美丽的蓝色海水。沿着小路有关于野生动物和树木的标志。我们看到了蝴蝶、鸟类和蜥蜴。我想我们只花了大约 20 分钟的时间在那个环路上。我本来会喜欢更长的步道,但似乎只有这些。
然后我们穿过马路走到黑岩海滩。那里几乎空无一人,只有一个家庭。后来来了两个更大的旅游团,但大多数时候只有两个小团。海滩本身真的很美很宁静。柔软的沙滩和完美的绿松石色海水。几乎没有海藻。退潮意味着有足够的空间在浅水中漫步。有一个当地人在出租椅子,但我们选择不租。还卖食物。看起来他在设置烤架。我们买了一个新鲜的椰子,他为我们准备了饮料,然后切开给我们吃,还有一些薯条。
准备好后,我们就回到等候的出租车司机那里,大约中午回到港口。
