点评:We had a phenomenal tour with our guide Gonzales and driver Osman over 8 days. Both were excellent. A special shoutout to Gonzales who answered our many, many questions thoroughly, invited us to his house for a lunch, and helped us find different accommodation after the major earthquake when we didn't want to stay on the third floor of a building.
While most of what we did was on the usual tourist trail, Gonzales was able to customize things to fit our interests. Two prominent examples is that we were able to witness the Lio ritual event of Pati Ka Du’a Bapu Ata Mata and were able to see an intra-tribal variant of Caci on Independence Day. He also did a lot of "negotiation" with the boat crew to make the most of our two days one night in Komodo NP, which included going to a different location other than Manta Point that had a higher probability of actually seeing manta rays (we saw about 6), arriving at Komodo Island right at opening to maximize our opportunity to see the dragons during mating season (we saw around 8), and a somewhat lesser visited snorkeling location to avoid crowds and see more colorful coral.
I would highly recommend this service, and especially Gonzales and Osman, to anyone interested in visiting Flroes.
翻译:在为期8天的行程中,我们的导游冈萨雷斯和司机奥斯曼为我们提供了极为出色的服务。两人都表现得非常出色。尤其要感谢冈萨雷斯:他耐心地解答了我们提出的无数问题,还邀请我们去他家吃午饭。在那场大地震之后,由于我们不想再住在建筑物的三层,他还帮我们找到了合适的住宿。
虽然我们游览的大多数景点都属于常规旅游路线,但冈萨雷斯还是根据我们的兴趣对行程做了相应调整。两个典型的例子就是:我们得以目睹了“Pati Ka Du’a Bapu Ata Mata”这一Lio仪式活动,还在独立日当天看到了部落内部流传的Caci表演形式。此外,他还与船上的工作人员进行了大量“协商”,以便让我们在科莫多国家公园的两天一夜行程发挥出最大价值;他甚至安排我们前往了除Manta Point之外的另一个地点,那里看到蝠鲼的几率更高(我们最终确实看到了大约6只)。我们正好在开放时间抵达科莫多岛,这样就能最大限度地把握机会在巨蜥的繁殖季观察到它们(我们总共看到了约8只)。此外,我们还选择了一个游客相对较少的浮潜点,以避开人群并欣赏到色彩更为绚丽的珊瑚。
我极力向所有有意前往弗洛雷斯岛的游客推荐这项服务,尤其是Gonzales和Osman两位向导。
