Oxford Kayak Tours的点评
点评：The Oxford Kayak tour is a wonderful day out seeing Oxford from an entirely different perspective.
Right from the start of the day the guides made us feel very welcome. If you haven’t done Kayaking before, then fear not. A comprehensive briefing is given with the basics of navigating a kayak. All the required equipment is provided with everything thought of, dry bags, phone bags, water, dry clothes. Any potential hazards that you may encounter are discussed, which predominately means ‘Punts’ !! Oh yes, the main threat on this trip would be students of all nationalities attempting to control heavy and cumbersome barges with only a scaffolding pole to help. It’s not ‘Brideshead Revisited’ it’s more like a floating game of ‘Twister’ on the river.
Don’t be put off though, by the time you reach ‘punt central’ you will now be masterfully zipping through the gaps in your agile kayak.
The tour wends its way peacefully through all of the hidden tributaries of the Cherwell, through the gardens of the Oxford Colleges and University Parks. It’s a wonderful way to travel and you effortlessly slide through the hanging willow branches. River life is in abundance, with wildfowl barely noticing your presence as you glide past. Heron continue to hunt without looking up, and the ‘flash of blue’ signals a kingfisher going about its business. Of stranger note, a large turtle was seen basking on a floating log.
Out into the Thames and we share the water with training ‘Eights’ and ‘sculls’ and pleasure craft of all sizes.
The day is brought to a close further down the river where we part company with our now familiar and trusty kayak. A taxi is laid on to whisk us back to the start point and our car.
A thoroughly enjoyable day, doing something a little bit different, exploring parts of Oxford you would never see on foot. Lovely people keeping us safe and on track. I would recommend this ‘super value’ day to anyone.

翻译：牛津皮划艇之旅是从完全不同的角度游览牛津的美好一天。
从那天一开始，导游就让我们感到非常受欢迎。如果您以前没有玩过皮划艇，请不要害怕。提供有关驾驶皮划艇的基础知识的全面介绍。所有必需的设备都配备齐全，干燥袋、手机袋、水、干燥衣服。讨论了您可能遇到的任何潜在危险，这主要意味着“平底船”！哦，是的，这次旅行的主要威胁是来自各个国家的学生试图仅靠脚手架杆来控制笨重的驳船。这不是“故园重游”，它更像是河上的“Twister”漂浮游戏。
不过，不要犹豫，当您到达“平底船中心”时，您现在将熟练地驾驶敏捷的皮划艇穿过间隙。
旅程平静地穿过查韦尔河所有隐藏的支流，穿过牛津学院和大学公园的花园。这是一种美妙的旅行方式，你可以毫不费力地滑过悬挂的柳枝。河流里的生物非常丰富，当您滑过时，野鸟几乎没有注意到您的存在。苍鹭继续捕猎，头也不抬，而“蓝色闪光”则表明翠鸟正在忙自己的事情。更奇怪的是，有人看到一只大乌龟在一根漂浮的木头上晒太阳。
进入泰晤士河，我们与训练“八人”、“双桨”和各种尺寸的游船共享水域。
这一天在河下游结束，我们与现在熟悉且值得信赖的皮划艇分手。一辆出租车载着我们回到出发点和我们的车。
这是非常愉快的一天，做一些有点不同的事情，探索牛津你永远不会步行看到的地方。可爱的人们让我们安全并走上正轨。我会向任何人推荐这个“超值”的日子。
