点评:An absolutely wonderful experience. Nathan, the son of the family operating this tour, punctually picked us up at the pier in Stanley and drove us for maybe 25 minutes to his family's "farm" (a mere 10,000 acres ...) where we went off-road to visit several different penguin colonies. Nathan took every possible care to make the ride over the uneven terrain as easy as possible and gave us all necessary information about life as a sheep farmer on the Falklands, the landscape and the wildlife. He is a genuinely nice person with whom it was a pleasure to spend time. We saw all four different species of penguins as promised, as well as a large number of other bird species. The only other vehicle we saw throughout the tour, from afar, was his mother's Land Rover as she was taking other guests around. (She had also baked the biscuits we had as part of our lunch - delicious.) The farm comprises all kinds of terrain including beaches, craggy mountains, ponds and other bodies of water. Incidentally, there are also a couple of toilets available on the way.
I have not taken any other tour on the islands but can only imagine what it must be like to visit a penguin colony with dozens of other people around. This is a different kettle of fish altogether, a truly privileged way to see Falklands wildlife and worth every penny.
翻译:绝对美妙的体验。Nathan 是负责这次旅行的家族之子,他准时在斯坦利码头接我们,开车带我们去了他家的“农场”(只有 10,000 英亩……),大约 25 分钟后,我们开车去越野,参观了几个不同的企鹅聚居地。Nathan 尽一切可能让我们在崎岖不平的地形上尽可能轻松地前行,并向我们提供了有关福克兰群岛牧羊人的生活、景观和野生动物的所有必要信息。他是一个真正善良的人,和他在一起是一种乐趣。我们如约看到了四种不同的企鹅,以及大量其他鸟类。在整个旅程中,我们从远处看到的唯一另一辆车是他母亲的路虎,当时她正在带其他客人游览。(她还烤了我们午餐吃的饼干——非常美味。)农场包括各种地形,包括海滩、崎岖的山脉、池塘和其他水体。顺便说一句,途中还有几间厕所。
我没有参加过岛上的其他旅行,但可以想象和几十个人一起参观企鹅群会是什么感觉。这完全是另一回事,是观赏福克兰群岛野生动物的真正特权方式,物有所值。
