点评:What an amazing experience from start to finish.
We laid the $10pp return taxi from our hotel to the port using Johnson’s bus, the company used by the travel firm. In hindsight we would walk in the future if we’re staying in the Riu Palace Paradise Island again as it’s only about a 20 minute walk, instead of a 5 minute drive.
From there the trip was fantastic. It was about a 20 minute boat ride to the island.
One of us had a beach day package whereas the other had the royal dolphin encounter.
The encounter started at 9, and we arrived by half 8 so plenty of time to make our way to the meeting point.
Those not participating were still allowed to sit and watch which was nice, providing they didn’t take photos/ videos.
There are currently 28 dolphins on the island, 26 of which were bred there!
The trainer Celeste was amazing providing information throughout whilst catering for everybody.
The encounter was split into two groups, who changed what they were doing half way through.
It was amazing with Dilly (female), and Kezeik and Goombay (males) proving how clever they are, and how attentive they are to each person.
The food provided was nice and we had plenty of time to walk around and see some of the other animals such as raccoons and Sea Lions.
The only animals we couldn’t see was the stingrays and sharks which you had to pay for/ have a guide which was a shame but reason to go back.
Would thoroughly recommend.
We bought the images/ video too to commemorate the trip. $139 for the full photo/ video package but worth it for a once in a life time experience.
翻译:从头到尾都是一次令人难忘的体验。
我们乘坐旅行社合作的Johnson's Bus公司,从酒店到港口,每人往返出租车费10美元。事后想想,如果下次再入住Riu Palace Paradise Island酒店,我们会选择步行,因为步行只需20分钟左右,而不是开车5分钟。
从酒店出发,旅程非常精彩。乘船大约20分钟即可到达岛屿。
我们一行人中,一人选择了海滩一日游套餐,另一人则选择了皇家海豚互动体验。
互动体验9点开始,我们8点半就到了,所以时间很充裕,可以前往集合地点。
不参加互动体验的人也可以坐在旁边观看,这很不错,前提是他们不拍照/录像。
岛上目前有28只海豚,其中26只都是在那里繁殖的!
驯兽师Celeste非常棒,她全程讲解,并且照顾到了每个人的需求。
这次互动被分成两组,中途调整了活动内容。
迪莉(雌性)和凯泽克、贡贝(雄性)的表现令人惊叹,它们展现了极高的智慧,并且对每位游客都非常细心。
提供的食物很美味,我们也有充足的时间四处走走,观赏浣熊、海狮等其他动物。
唯一没能看到的动物是鳐鱼和鲨鱼,需要额外付费或请导游,这有点可惜,但也让我们有了再次造访的理由。
强烈推荐!
我们还购买了照片和视频作为纪念。全套照片/视频套餐售价139美元,对于这样一生难忘的体验来说,绝对物超所值。
