点评:We did the whale shark tour in February.
Before booking I asked what the chances are to see them during rain season. I was told that the chances are good, only it might be uncomfortable on the boat if it rains. And that that is the only reason that people say that the dry season is the best season to see them.
As we don’t mind if it rains, we booked a flight and hotel.
Already when we arrived we heard from different local people that the chances to see the whale sharks in February are low.
But as we already traveled all the way to Sumbawa, we still went on the tour.
It’s a long drive (in total 4h in the car and 4h with the boat). And unfortunately we didn’t see them. Of course it is still nature, but I feel like I wasn’t informed correctly about the odds to see the whale sharks in February. The trip to Sumbawa cost us 2 days of our holiday plus the expenses for flights, hotel and the tour.
If we would have known that it’s not a good month to see them, we wouldn’t have made that trip.
I hope they will be more honest to customers asking about the chances of seeing the whale sharks.
翻译:我们在二月份参加了鲸鲨之旅。
预订之前,我问了在雨季看到鲸鲨的几率有多大。我被告知几率很大,只是如果下雨,在船上可能会不舒服。这就是人们说旱季是看鲸鲨的最佳季节的唯一原因。
因为我们不介意下雨,所以我们预订了航班和酒店。
当我们到达时,我们就从不同的当地人那里听说二月份看到鲸鲨的几率很低。
但由于我们已经一路旅行到了松巴哇,我们仍然参加了这次旅行。
这是一个漫长的旅程(总共 4 小时在车上,4 小时在船上)。不幸的是,我们没有看到它们。当然,这仍然是大自然,但我觉得我没有正确了解二月份看到鲸鲨的几率。去松巴哇的旅行花费了我们 2 天的假期,外加机票、酒店和旅游的费用。
如果我们知道这不是观赏鲸鲨的好月份,我们就不会去那趟了。
我希望他们能更诚实地对待询问观赏鲸鲨几率的顾客。
