点评:Had whitewater rafting on our father/son vacation to do list. First time for my son and second time for me if you count the church trip 30 years ago. Maybe it was the name Outland Expeditions that made me click on the website, but I’m glad I did.
Chose the Middle Ocoee 12pm trip.
Check in was 11am and it was professional and courteous from the moment we got there. Great instruction up front. Was a little worried with it being son’s first time, but immediately knew I was as the right place. Very organized and clear about what we would be doing. Ashley, hope the spelling is correct, was our guide. Again, personable and professional. The trip was so great we signed up for the full trip the next day.
Second day, Florida was our guide. That guy was a riot while also letting us know when it was time to be serious. The upper Ocoee was a little more technical, and worrisome with my son in tow. Florida expertly handled it, acknowledging a worried parent and making this the “highlight of our vacation” to my 14 year old son. I’d definitely request either one of them on our next trip down the Ocoee.
So many choices, but Outland Expeditions is the only outfit I’ll be going with in the future.
翻译:我们父子俩的度假计划里有白水漂流。如果算上30年前的教堂之旅,我儿子第一次漂流,而我第二次。也许是因为“Outland Expeditions”这个名字,我点击了他们的网站,但我很高兴我这么做了。
选择了奥科伊河中段中午12点的行程。
上午11点办理登船手续,从我们到达的那一刻起,他们就非常专业且彬彬有礼。事先的指导也很棒。我儿子第一次漂流,一开始有点担心,但马上就知道我来对地方了。漂流安排得井井有条,而且我们清楚地知道要做什么。我们的导游是Ashley(希望拼写正确)。她也很亲切,也很专业。这次旅行太棒了,我们第二天就报名参加了全程漂流。
第二天,我们的导游是Florida。他非常热情,同时也会提醒我们什么时候该认真了。奥科伊河上游的漂流技术性更强,带着儿子一起漂流让我有点担心。佛罗里达处理得非常专业,他们理解家长的担忧,并让我14岁的儿子觉得这是“我们假期的亮点”。下次我们去奥科伊河旅行时,我一定会预订他们其中一家。
选择太多了,但Outland Expeditions是我以后唯一会选择的公司。
