点评:We spent five days and four nights on the boat as a family of five, and it was a great start to our holiday in Indonesia.
Our guide, Fitri, looked after us from start to finish. She was energetic, attentive and spoke very good English. She was also open and happy to tell us about herself and life in Kalimantan, which made the experience feel much more personal.
We had the upper deck of the boat to ourselves, while Fitri and the crew stayed below. Every evening they set up our beds and mosquito nets, and sleeping on the river was comfortable and peaceful. The food was excellent, and catering for two vegetarians was no problem at all.
The orangutans were obviously one of the main reasons we came. We visited various feeding stations, and at the first one Fitri showed me a great vantage point away from the main seating area which offered an excellent view of the orangutans approaching the feeding platform. As a keen photographer, I appreciated having plenty of time and opportunities to take photos without ever feeling rushed.
An unexpected highlight was visiting Sekonyer Village. Our kids played football with the school children, watched them practising for the Independence Day celebrations and joined in their dancing.
The night walk was another highlight, with tarantulas, scorpions, venomous centipedes and even an owl. There was plenty to see while cruising too, with Fitri and the crew regularly pointing out monkeys, birds and other wildlife along the river.
From pickup to the airport transfer at the end, everything was taken care of. Great food, a lovely crew, plenty of wildlife and a very good guide. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Indonesia.
翻译:我们一家五口在船上度过了五天四夜,这为我们在印度尼西亚的假期开了个好头。
我们的导游菲特丽从头到尾都悉心照料着我们。她精力充沛、细心周到,英语也说得非常好。她还很乐于与我们分享自己的故事以及加里曼丹岛上的生活,这让整个旅程显得更加温馨贴心。
我们独享了船上的上层甲板,而菲特丽和船员们则待在下面。每天晚上,他们都会为我们铺好床铺并挂上蚊帐,在河边入睡的感觉既舒适又宁静。食物也非常美味,满足两位素食者的饮食需求也毫无问题。
红毛猩猩显然是我们此行的主要原因之一。我们参观了多个喂食站,在第一个喂食站,菲特里带我去了一个远离主观览区的绝佳观景点,从那里可以清晰地看到红毛猩猩们朝喂食台走来的身影。作为一名摄影爱好者,我很高兴有充足的时间和机会来拍照,完全不会感到仓促。
最令人惊喜的体验莫过于游览塞科尼尔村。我们的孩子和当地的孩子们一起踢足球,观看他们为独立日庆典进行的排练,还一起跳舞。
夜间漫步也是一大亮点——我们看到了狼蛛、蝎子、有毒的蜈蚣,甚至还有一只猫头鹰。乘船游览时同样有诸多景致可赏。在旅途中,菲特里和工作人员经常指给我们看河边的猴子、鸟类以及其他野生动物。
从接机到最后送往机场,所有事宜都安排得井然有序。美食可口,工作人员友善可爱,沿途能见到许多野生动物,导游也非常出色。我们再也无法奢求一次比这更好的印尼初体验了。
