点评:We are just returning from a magical gray whale watching tour with Kuyima. From start to finish, this was an incredible, seamless experience. Communications via email with Maria were spot on. She was so patient with my many questions and always answered immediately! The morning of our 3 day experience we were picked up at our San Ignacio and driven the hour long drive to the San Ignacio lagoon. The camp was spotless and very ecologically aware. Our accommodation was an adorable little cabin on the beach equipped with the most comfy twin beds. We slept soundly with the sound of the ocean lulling us to sleep.
Our guides, Alejandro and Alicia, for our four 2 hour excursions to view the whales were wonderful and very well versed in the habits of the whales, and Federico, our captain, was extremely skilled in getting us in the vicinity of the whales, but always allowed them lots of space and the choice of whether to come visit the panga. Though only one mother and baby chose to do so, we saw many adults at fairly close distance enjoying the protection of the lagoon. I believe Kuyima is the oldest of the camps for gray whale observation, and I would highly recommend choosing them. Truly everything was perfect. So so clean and efficient.
I would be remiss not to mention the food which was delicious, fresh, and very healthy. Lots of fresh fish caught by the local fisherman in the lagoon. No one in the group of 9 who were staying at the camp with had a twinge of stomach discomfort so clearly all food was cleaned and prepared beautifully.
Day trips included a visit the nearby salt flats, and a birding trip. The tour often includes a visit to an oyster farm, but it was closed when we visited. However, on our last night, we were treated to the most delicious fresh oysters.
A long review, but this was definitely a five star experience which our party of four sixty-something’s won’t forget any time soon.
翻译:我们刚刚结束了与 Kuyima 一起进行的神奇灰鲸观赏之旅。从开始到结束,这都是一次令人难以置信的无缝体验。与 Maria 通过电子邮件的沟通非常及时。她对我提出的许多问题非常耐心,并且总是立即回答!在我们为期 3 天的体验的早晨,我们在圣伊格纳西奥被接走,然后驱车一小时前往圣伊格纳西奥泻湖。营地一尘不染,非常注重生态。我们的住宿是海滩上一间可爱的小木屋,配有最舒适的双人床。我们睡得很香,海浪声催眠着我们。
我们的导游 Alejandro 和 Alicia 在我们四次 2 小时的观鲸之旅中表现得非常棒,并且非常熟悉鲸鱼的习性,我们的船长 Federico 非常擅长带我们靠近鲸鱼,但总是给它们足够的空间,并让它们选择是否来参观小船。虽然只有一位母鲸和幼鲸选择这样做,但我们在相当近的距离内看到许多成年鲸鱼在泻湖的保护下享受着。我相信 Kuyima 是灰鲸观察营地中最古老的,我强烈建议您选择他们。真的一切都很完美。非常干净和高效。
如果不提一下食物,那我就是失职了,食物美味、新鲜、非常健康。泻湖中当地渔民捕获了许多鲜鱼。住在营地的 9 人中没有人感到胃部不适,显然所有食物都经过了精心清洁和准备。
一日游包括参观附近的盐滩和观鸟之旅。旅游通常包括参观牡蛎养殖场,但我们参观时它关闭了。然而,在我们最后一晚,我们品尝到了最美味的新鲜牡蛎。
这篇评论很长,但这绝对是一次五星级的体验,我们四个六十多岁的人很快就会忘记它。
