点评:The 2-hour 4x4 safari jeep tour was just fantastic. It's a very bumpy ride through the Bel Ombre nature reserve, through beautiful hills, forest, tightly turning tracks, and over bridges and rivers.
We saw lots of fauna, flora, reptiles, birds and mammals. There were hundreds of deer.
Our guide, Lovin was amazing, regularly stopping to tell us interesting facts or to let us take photos.
To see the waterfall, you have to take a walk that requires sure-footedness, because it is a narrow forest path, where you have to be careful not to trip over tree roots, and volcanic rocks, at the at the same time as not walking into branches at head height.
The waterfall is lovely. You can swim there if you wish. We hadn't realised this was part of the trip as we booked on a whim. As we left, there were some people heading towards it, with towels. The water there is clear, but because it is black volcanic rock, you can't see into the water.
As we arrive back at our jeep, there is a drink of sweet lemon juice waiting for us. Perfect timing after the short but arduous walk.
On the way back from the trip, we pass the remnants of the Bel Ombre sugar cane estate. Again Lovin stops to paint a picture of the trade that happened there.
As we breach the hill to return to base, the coastal view across to St Felix beach is spectacular.
This was an amazing experience that we enjoyed very much. We learned lots about the conservation work going on, and would recommend this trip to anyone who is fit and healthy.
Thank you especially to Lovin, who was an exceptional guide.
翻译:2 小时的四驱越野吉普车之旅真是太棒了。穿过 Bel Ombre 自然保护区、美丽的山丘、森林、急转弯的小径、桥梁和河流,一路颠簸不已。
我们看到了许多动物、植物、爬行动物、鸟类和哺乳动物。有数百只鹿。
我们的导游 Lovin 非常棒,经常停下来告诉我们有趣的事实或让我们拍照。
要看瀑布,您必须走一条需要稳健的步行路,因为这是一条狭窄的林间小路,您必须小心不要被树根和火山岩绊倒,同时不要撞到头顶的树枝。
瀑布很美。如果您愿意,您可以在那里游泳。我们没有意识到这是旅行的一部分,因为我们是心血来潮预订的。当我们离开时,有些人带着毛巾朝瀑布走去。那里的水很清澈,但由于是黑色的火山岩,所以看不到水里。
当我们回到吉普车时,有一杯甜柠檬汁在等着我们。在短暂而艰苦的步行之后,时间刚刚好。
在旅行回来的路上,我们经过了 Bel Ombre 甘蔗庄园的遗迹。Lovin 再次停下来描绘那里发生的贸易。
当我们翻过山丘返回基地时,圣菲利克斯海滩对面的海岸景色十分壮观。
这是一次非常棒的体验,我们非常享受。我们学到了很多关于正在进行的保护工作的知识,并会向任何身体健康的人推荐这次旅行。
特别感谢 Lovin,他是一位出色的导游。
