Poorly managed, waste of time and money
Fitzroy Island Sports Hub + Day Tours的点评
点评:We went to Fitzroy Island, spending 4 nights at the resort. We had prebooked the snorkel safari and scuba dive.
The day before the scuba dive, we got an email at 4:30 pm advising that the dive was cancelled due to staffing issues. We immediately went to the resort reception to try to make alternative arrangements. They said to go to the sports hub, but it closes by 4:00pm each day. So we turned up again the next morning right on opening. The earliest they could reschedule us was for the morning of our departure. However, that would have meant we would miss the transfer back to Cairns, so we had to abandon that plan. They offered to swap the scuba dive for the snorkel safari, but as I said, we had already booked this for the next day.
The snorkel safari was an almost complete waste of time. The crew and pilot of the boat argued for 10 minutes about the best place to go, then just took us 50m up the beach, a place we had been snorkeling by ourselves the previous day. The glass bottom boat they use to get us there was useless for seeing anything while the boat is moving at that speed. We struggled to see a lot of fish, since they kept everyone in a close bunch. With 20 people splashing around, most of the fish buggered off to hide. We would have been so much better off saving our money and finding a quiet part of the island and snorkeled by ourselves.
I feel sorry for the people who work there. They all seem to be underpaid overseas backpackers who are doing the best they can. The real problem with this place is the lack of management.
翻译:我们去了菲茨罗伊岛,在度假村住了 4 晚。我们提前预订了浮潜之旅和水肺潜水。
水肺潜水前一天,我们在下午 4:30 收到一封电子邮件,通知我们由于人员配备问题取消了潜水。我们立即前往度假村接待处尝试做出替代安排。他们说要去体育中心,但每天下午 4:00 就关门了。所以我们第二天早上一开门就再次出现。他们最早可以为我们重新安排时间是我们出发的早上。然而,这意味着我们将错过返回凯恩斯的交通,因此我们不得不放弃该计划。他们提出将水肺潜水换成浮潜探险,但正如我所说,我们已经预订了第二天的行程。
浮潜之旅几乎完全是浪费时间。船上的船员和领航员争论了 10 分钟关于最好去的地方,然后就把我们带到了海滩 50m 的地方,这是我们前一天自己浮潜的地方。他们用来带我们去那里的玻璃底船在船以这样的速度移动时看不到任何东西。我们很难看到很多鱼,因为它们让每个人都挤在一起。 20 个人在戏水,大多数鱼都躲了起来。如果我们省钱并找到岛上一个安静的地方并自己浮潜,那就更好了。
我为在那里工作的人们感到难过。他们似乎都是收入微薄的海外背包客,但他们都在尽力而为。这个地方的真正问题是缺乏管理。
