点评:Limahuli Garden is undeniably beautiful, and I deeply appreciate the care and dedication that goes into maintaining this preserve. I also value that proceeds from the tour support state environmental projects and local initiatives, which made me feel good about visiting. That said, my overall experience on the guided tour was a little underwhelming compared to the Princeville Botanical Gardens Tour.
I was hoping to learn more about Hawaiian culture and the unique properties of the plants, as I did on the Princeville tour, but the experience here felt less personable and less engaging. To be fair, part of this may be because I had already learned about some of the same plants during my previous tour.
One thing that stood out early on was being reminded to respect the land and avoid standing on lava stones, which I fully understand and appreciate. However, I noticed that throughout the tour several guests were sitting or standing on the rocks, and the guide didn’t address it, which was a little surprising given the emphasis placed on it at the start.
Additionally, acoustics were challenging. It was sometimes hard to hear the guide, and with limited foliage providing shade, it was also quite hot and exposed under the sun, something to keep in mind when planning your visit.
Lastly, while I understand and even agree with some of the personal views the guide shared, I personally felt it wasn’t the best setting to discuss political opinions with a mixed group of tourists.
Overall, Limahuli Garden is a beautiful and important place, and I do recommend visiting if you’re interested in Hawaiian plants and conservation. I just wouldn’t recommend the guided tour with the same enthusiasm as I would others.
翻译:利马胡利植物园美不胜收,我由衷感谢大家为维护这片保护区所付出的辛勤劳动。我也很感激这次旅行的收益用于支持州环保项目和地方倡议,这让我对这次参观感到很欣慰。话虽如此,与普林斯维尔植物园之旅相比,这次导览游的整体体验略显平淡。
我原本希望能像在普林斯维尔之旅中一样,更多地了解夏威夷文化和植物的独特属性,但这次的体验感觉缺乏亲切感,也缺乏吸引力。平心而论,部分原因可能是我在之前的旅行中已经了解了一些相同的植物。
一开始就被提醒要尊重土地,避免踩踏火山岩,我完全理解并感激这一点。然而,我注意到在整个旅程中,有几位游客坐在或站在岩石上,而导游却没有提及此事,考虑到一开始就强调了这一点,这多少让我有些意外。
此外,声学效果也让我很头疼。有时很难听清导游的讲解,而且由于树叶遮荫有限,阳光直射,天气也相当炎热,这点在计划行程时需要注意。
最后,虽然我理解甚至同意导游分享的一些个人观点,但我个人认为这里并不是与一群游客讨论政治观点的最佳场所。
总的来说,利马胡里花园是一个美丽而重要的场所,如果你对夏威夷的植物和植物保护感兴趣,我强烈推荐你去参观。只是我不会像推荐其他导游那样热情地推荐这个导览游。
