点评:Narrow but long (22 km!) strip of mangroves flanking Sungai Lebam dominated by Brugiera, Rhizophora, and Xylocarpus mangrove tree species. Our friendly guide (Fitri) provided an excellent and engaging explanation of unique mangrove characteristics and indigenous uses of particular mangrove species! Got to chat with him about the state of conservation in this area too. Even as a botanist, I got to learn lots of new uses and traits of these species and interact with them first-hand :) Saw a golden-ringed cat snake (rare find!), lots of crab-eating macaques, kingfishers, egrets, herons, a bittern, bee-eaters, and a white-bellied sea eagle. Also drove by a floating fish farm with a friendly cat :)
The tour programme was very punctual (picked us up at the hotel at 3 pm and dropped off at 5 pm). Vehicles were all very clean and easily accessible, everything was super convenient! Didn't get any mosquitoes while on the river cruise too so that was great. My only gripe was that the tour was too short, would have loved to spend more time near the mangrove trees!
Tldr; cool guide, cool tour, learnt lots of new things 👍🏻
翻译:狭窄但漫长(22 公里!)的红树林带环绕着 Sungai Lebam,主要由 Brugiera、Rhizophora 和 Xylocarpus 红树种组成。我们友好的导游 (Fitri) 出色而引人入胜地解释了红树林的独特特征以及特定红树种的本土用途!还和他聊了聊该地区的保护状况。即使作为一名植物学家,我也学到了这些物种的许多新用途和特征,并与它们进行了亲身互动 :) 看到了一条金环猫蛇(罕见!)、许多食蟹猕猴、翠鸟、白鹭、苍鹭、麻鳽、蜂虎和一只白腹海雕。还开车经过了一个漂浮的养鱼场,那里有一只友好的猫 :)
旅游计划非常准时(下午 3 点在酒店接我们,下午 5 点送我们)。车辆都非常干净,交通便利,一切都超级方便!在河上游船时也没有遇到任何蚊子,所以这很棒。我唯一的抱怨是旅程太短了,我希望能花更多时间在红树林附近!
总而言之:很棒的导游,很棒的旅行,学到了很多新东西👍🏻
