点评:The Mangrove kayak tour was one of the most anticipated tours of our trip.
Our guide was kind and passionate about the mangroves and the ecosystem.
Straight to the negatives. Our group was too large. 14 People should not be expected to navigate the tight spaces. Tip: Find a small or private tour.
Show up early or on time so you can hear the educational speech before the tour.
A group of 10 in our tour showed up 20 minutes late. I understand waiting 5-10 minutes. The road there is rough, but 20 minutes is just inconsiderate to those who came early/on time.
The tour guide gave instructions at each turn, advising that in order to see the wildlife in the mangroves, you had to be quiet. Makes sense, right? Well, the group of 10 thought it was more fun to play bumper boats and be loud and boisterous the entire trip. I saw NO wildlife on this trip.
We tried being at the head of the group to hear the guide and hopefully see some wildlife before the group scared them away. This led to being crashed into and hit in the head with an oar.
We ended up hanging back in the rear of the group and taking our time to enjoy the sights. This tactic led to not hearing the guide and missing any possibility of wildlife.
The snorkle part was even worse. They didn't listen to the instructions not to walk in the sand because it would stir up the sand. Needless to say, we saw nothing.
We made the best of a bad situation and would do it again to support the cause, but maybe find a private tour.
I wish the guide had the foresight to correct the bad behavior of the others and had the foresight that some people are actually there to learn and be respectful of the environment.
And a tip to others, before you talk sh*t about other people, make sure they're not also multilingual.
翻译:红树林皮划艇之旅是我们此行最期待的行程之一。
我们的导游非常友善,对红树林和生态系统充满热情。
缺点嘛,我们的团太大了。14个人,根本没法在狭窄的空间里穿行。小贴士:找个小型或私人的旅行团。
提前或准时到场,这样你就能听到旅行前的讲解。
我们团里一个10人的团队迟到了20分钟。我理解等5-10分钟。那里的路很崎岖,但对于那些早到/准时到的人来说,等20分钟实在太不体贴了。
导游在每个转弯处都给出指示,建议为了看到红树林里的野生动物,必须保持安静。很有道理,对吧?结果,我们10个人觉得玩碰碰船,全程大声喧哗更有趣。这次旅行我一个野生动物都没看到。
我们试着走在队伍的最前面,听导游讲解,希望能在他们吓跑野生动物之前看到一些。结果却被撞了,头部被桨击中。
我们最终只能留在队伍的后面,慢慢欣赏风景。这种策略导致我们听不到导游的讲解,也错过了任何野生动物出现的机会。
潜水呼吸管那部分更糟糕。他们没有听从指示,不让在沙子里行走,因为这样会搅动沙子。不用说,我们什么也没看到。
我们尽力克服了糟糕的情况,为了支持这项事业,我们会再次这样做,但也许应该找个私人旅行团。
我希望导游能有远见,纠正其他人的不良行为,并有远见,知道有些人来这里是为了学习和尊重环境。
还有一点建议,在你说别人坏话之前,确保他们不会说多种语言。
