点评:We booked the 3 hour trip whilst on a family visit to Scotland in the May half term. We've been on many boat trips through the years so was expecting the usual general tour with a skipper you cannot understand and rammed full of tourists.
We were wrong as we had the boat all to ourselves and we also lucked out with the weather.
The boat was a lovely well equipped vessel with plenty of places to sit. The skipper Kyle was simply fantastic. He was very knowledgeable in the local area and took time to interact with our family, even though the teenage kids just stared at him most of the time so apologies Kyle!
He stopped at the right times to show us wildfire and we were very lucky to see porpoise which swam right past the boat.
He made us tea and coffee and gave us chocolate biscuits too which the kids loved. He also provided binoculars to get better views.
The weather was probably the best this year in Scotland and we even saw some millionaire yachts and their toys.
The trip visited the Falls of Lora under the Connell Bridge then headed out past Mull and around Kerrera back into Oban Bay.
The was also so relaxing regardless of whether you saw wildlife, I'd expect this to be different in choppier waters.
We will definitely be back again when we are visiting, not just for a boat ride but because of the hospitality from Kyle who made you feel welcome as soon as you stepped onto the jetty.
This does not have the thrill of a fast rib style ride and is more a casual way to see Scotland from a different view.
翻译:五月假期,我们一家人去苏格兰游玩,期间预订了3小时的游船之旅。这些年来我们参加过很多次游船,所以原本以为会是那种船长说话含糊不清、船上挤满了游客的普通观光船。
结果却出乎意料,我们包下了整条船,而且运气也很好,天气格外晴朗。
这艘船很漂亮,设备齐全,有很多座位。船长凯尔简直太棒了!他对当地非常了解,还抽出时间跟我们一家人互动,虽然我们家几个十几岁的孩子大部分时间都盯着他看,所以凯尔,请别介意!
他适时地停下来,让我们看到了野火,我们还很幸运地看到了从船边游过的海豚。
他给我们泡了茶和咖啡,还给了我们巧克力饼干,孩子们都很喜欢。他还提供了望远镜,方便我们看得更清楚。
这可能是今年苏格兰最好的天气了,我们甚至还看到了几艘百万富翁的游艇和他们的各种“装备”。
这次旅行我们游览了康奈尔桥下的洛拉瀑布,然后绕过马尔岛,绕着克雷拉岛返回奥本湾。
无论是否看到野生动物,整个旅程都非常轻松惬意。不过,我想在波涛汹涌的海面上,体验应该会有所不同。
下次来苏格兰,我们一定会再次光临。这不仅仅是为了乘船游览,更是因为凯尔的热情好客,他让我们一踏上码头就感受到了宾至如归的温暖。
这种游船方式不像快艇那样刺激,而是一种更轻松惬意的欣赏苏格兰风光的方式。
