点评:We came for the bait balls but that was just the icing on the cake. Can’t say enough about the smooth running operation, and teamwork of Offshore Africa.
We spent 6 days on the sea with expert skipper, Calvin, and biologist and guide, Donovan. These guys were so passionate about the whole experience and invested in us having the trip of our dreams whether it was the perfect photo, or finding that species of animal you hoped to see. Every day, even the quiet ones where the bait balls evaded us, they ensured that we saw the very best that the sea and the scenery had to offer. We explored the coastline to find bottlenose dolphins to swim with, get great shots of waterfalls and gannet nests, and find rare birds like the beautiful blue king fisher. We saw incredible sealife, from pods of 200 and 500+ migrating dolphins to humpbacks checking us out in the boat. Donovan was a wealth of information every time we found floating debris as we explored the sea life that made it their home. Once we did not collect a flip flop into the boat because it was home to a crab couple and the female was pregnant! Although we had a couple of quiet days, these guys worked so hard and drove that boat so far to make sure we had a full sardine run bait ball experience! They did not disappoint with a sail fish, sharks, a fur seal, Bryde whale, humpback, and endless dolphins.
I am impressed with how all of the staff across boats supported each other whether it was a needed snorkel or fuel, or just communication about where the action was.
Debbie was always checking in about the land side experience, making sure the whole operation was smooth. Thanks, OA! We will be back.
翻译:我们来这里是为了鱼饵球,但那只是锦上添花。Offshore Africa 的顺利运作和团队合作真是让人赞不绝口。
我们与专业船长 Calvin 和生物学家兼导游 Donovan 在海上度过了 6 天。这些人对整个体验充满热情,并投入大量精力让我们拥有梦想中的旅程,无论是完美的照片,还是寻找您希望看到的动物物种。每一天,即使是在鱼饵球躲避我们的安静日子,他们也确保我们看到大海和风景所能提供的最佳景色。我们探索海岸线,寻找可以一起游泳的宽吻海豚,拍摄瀑布和塘鹅巢穴的精彩照片,并寻找像美丽的蓝色翠鸟这样的稀有鸟类。我们看到了令人难以置信的海洋生物,从 200 只和 500 多只迁徙的海豚群到在船上检查我们的座头鲸。每次我们在探索以这里为家的海洋生物时发现漂浮物,Donovan 都会提供大量信息。有一次,我们没有把人字拖带上船,因为船上住着一对螃蟹,而雌蟹怀孕了!虽然我们有几天很安静,但这些家伙非常努力,把船开得很远,以确保我们有一个完整的沙丁鱼诱饵球体验!他们没有让我们失望,有旗鱼、鲨鱼、海狗、布氏鲸、座头鲸和无数的海豚。
我对船上所有工作人员互相支持的方式印象深刻,无论是需要通气管还是燃料,或者只是沟通活动地点。
黛比总是检查陆地上的体验,确保整个操作顺利进行。谢谢,OA!我们会回来的。
