点评:I can’t rate this trip high enough. It was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. We took the “Force Awakens” boat out of Ballinskelligs. Most people think all tours originate from Portmagee. Ballinskelligs is only 21 minutes (11 miles) away, on the other side of the peninsula. All passengers were provided professional grade foul weather gear and life jackets, before departing for Little Skellig and Skellig Michael. The boat was clean, well maintained, and had two motors and thrusters that enabled the crew to maneuver in very tight coves filled with spectacular views of seals and birds. The crew was professional, friendly and informative. While large swells and wind prevents landings at Skellig Michael in most days, we planned our visit on a day when weather was forecast to be clear and calm. It paid off! The boat was able to land at Skellig Michael where we were able to walk up to the UNESCO recognized monastery. Guides on the island provided a group presentation on the history of the site going back more than 1500 years, up to its roll in the Star Wars movie “The Force Awakens.”
翻译:我对这次旅行的评价简直高到不行。这是我们爱尔兰之旅的亮点。我们乘坐“原力觉醒”号游船从巴林斯凯利格斯岛出发。大多数人以为所有旅行团都从波特马吉出发。巴林斯凯利格斯岛距离这里只有21分钟(11英里)的航程,位于半岛的另一侧。所有乘客在出发前往小斯凯利格岛和斯凯利格·迈克尔岛之前,都配备了专业级的防风雨装备和救生衣。游船干净整洁,保养良好,配备了两个马达和推进器,使船员能够在狭窄的海湾中航行,欣赏到海豹和鸟类的壮丽景色。船员们专业、友好,而且知识渊博。虽然大多数日子里,巨大的海浪和狂风都阻碍了在斯凯利格·迈克尔岛登陆,但我们还是选择了天气预报晴朗无风的日子来安排行程。结果非常值得!游船最终在斯凯利格·迈克尔岛登陆,在那里我们步行前往了这座被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产的修道院。岛上的导游为大家介绍了该遗址 1500 多年的历史,直至其在星球大战电影《原力觉醒》中的出现。
