点评:We booked this trip for our first full day in Cape Town hoping it would be good; our tour guide Zaine Daniels was awesome and really made our day!!
Zaine really went 'above and beyond' what we expected, shared excellent knowledge of local history, languages, culture, gave us tips for our next few days in Cape Town and gave us time to explore everything fully.
In terms of the penguin colony, it was sad to hear the facts about predation, reductions in pelagic fish and the changes in the ecosystem. The boardwalk was easy to manoeuvre, though several steps so perhaps not suitable for those with mobility restrictions. Good to see the conservation efforts and that the beach was blocked off for use purely by the penguins; many places are open and not as focused on the animal's safety, so it was good to see that the beach was solely for the penguins use.
Our tour guide Zaine, guided us to the best, most interactive way to see the penguins opposed to the 'main route', (we went the main route afterwards and saw a lot less than the way Zaine had showed us!), and helped us to identify animals.
When we got Cape Point/ Cape of Good Hope, Zaine allowed us plenty of time to explore fully, taking photos, interacting with our usually shy children (11yr old boy and 13yr old girl), wonderfully, to the extent that they were chatting and giggling merrily with Zaine!
As a family we thought the trip was really good and that Zaine was ace! We would definitely recommend booking this and asking for Zaine in particular!!
All round brilliant day!!
翻译:我们预订了这次行程,作为我们在开普敦的第一天,希望能有愉快的体验;我们的导游Zaine Daniels非常棒,真的让我们度过了美好的一天!!
Zaine真的“超出”了我们的预期,她分享了我们对当地历史、语言和文化的丰富知识,还为我们接下来几天在开普敦的行程提供了建议,并给了我们时间去充分探索一切。
说到企鹅聚居地,听到关于捕食、远洋鱼类数量减少以及生态系统变化的事实令人感到难过。木板路很容易走,虽然需要走几步,但可能不适合行动不便的人。很高兴看到保护工作,而且海滩被封锁,专供企鹅使用;很多地方都是开放的,而且并没有那么注重动物的安全,所以很高兴看到海滩专供企鹅使用。
我们的导游 Zaine 带我们找到了最佳、互动性最强的观企鹅方式,而不是走“主线”(之后我们又走了主线,看到的企鹅比 Zaine 带我们去的少多了!),还帮我们辨认了各种动物。
到达好望角/开普角后,Zaine 给了我们充足的时间充分探索,拍照,还和我们平时比较害羞的孩子们(11 岁的男孩和 13 岁的女孩)互动,他们甚至和 Zaine 开心地聊天、咯咯笑!
我们全家都觉得这次旅行非常棒,Zaine 也非常棒!我们强烈推荐预订这次行程,并且特别推荐 Zaine!
今天真是精彩的一天!
