点评:When our friends signed us up, my wife and I had no idea what they were talking about..."inner-tubing down an irrigation canal." As we arrived at the headquarters and got checked in, we were issued hard hats and gloves only adding to our questioning... the headlamp was almost the last straw!! We had some kid named Barkley as our guide, who loaded us onto a tram and began describing the adventure that awaited us as we traveled thru the jungle. As he proceeded, he had me quite worried that I would either suffer a claustrophobic attack or would freeze to death in the cold waters and I was wondering why on earth did I let them talk me into this... Moments later, as I mounted my inner tube in the “invigorating” and “refreshing” water, the fear of freezing quickly vanished and water temperature was never an issue from then on... As we approached the first tunnel I was in high fear of my claustrophobia, but Barkley was right there, assuring me there was nothing to worry about. I got thru the first of five tunnels and again, my fears were laid to rest and never came around again. The tunnels were awesome to say the least. Barkley turned out to be an excellent guide, and quite a comedian as well. I couldn't have enjoyed the experience more and would thoroughly recommend anyone visiting Kauai to give it a shot, you won’t regret it!
(And my wife agrees 100%)
翻译:朋友们给我们报了名,我和妻子当时完全不知道他们在说什么……“沿着灌溉渠漂流”。到了总部登记后,我们戴上了安全帽和手套,这让我们更加疑惑……头灯简直是压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草!我们的向导是个叫巴克利的小孩,他把我们带上一辆小车,开始描述穿越丛林的冒险之旅。他讲得越来越离谱,我担心自己会不会幽闭恐惧症发作,或者在冰冷的水里冻死,我心想自己当初怎么会听他们忽悠我来参加这个活动……没过多久,当我坐进“令人精神焕发”、“清爽宜人”的河水里时,对冻死的恐惧瞬间消失,水温也从此不再是问题……快到第一个隧道时,我幽闭恐惧症又犯了,但巴克利就在旁边,安慰我说没什么好担心的。我顺利穿过了五个隧道中的第一个,我的恐惧再次烟消云散,之后再也没有出现过。毫不夸张地说,这些隧道真是太棒了!巴克利不仅是一位出色的向导,而且还很幽默。我非常享受这次体验,强烈推荐所有来考艾岛的游客都去尝试一下,绝对不会后悔!
(我妻子也百分百同意!)
