点评:A trip aboard MV Iolaire of Iona was a great experience.
We had some unfortunate weather whilst on Mull but Staffa Trips happily moved our booking.
The boat is a converted fishing boat with some covered benches but most seating outdoors. (If its full not everyone will be covered).
Id guess on our trip we maybe had 40 passengers and that felt busy.
The actual sail is about 45mins- 1hr and as a small boat can get moved about in the swell.
Maybe most importantly there didn't seem to be a toilet on board (so be prepared for a 3hr venture without a bathroom).
The staff are very friendly and helpful - and of course knowledgeable about the trip.
The point of this though is Staffa and Fingals Cave. This is simply stunning. Nature at its finest. Awesome geology. It is hard not to be impressed.
Remember too that there is no shelter (or bathrooms) on the island.
It did actually feel quite busy to get into Fingals Cave - not exactly a wilderness experience). But of course a wee queue is worth it!
Walk for 10.mins on the island and you’ll get away from the 'crowd' and be rewarded with great views.
Scotland is an impressive place.
Final tip - take midge repellent!
翻译:乘坐伊奥纳岛的“Iolaire号”游船是一次很棒的体验。
我们在穆尔岛上时遇到了糟糕的天气,但Staffa Trips公司很乐意地为我们重新安排了行程。
这艘船是由渔船改造而成的,船上有一些带顶棚的长凳,不过大部分座位都在户外。(如果船上坐满人,就不是所有人都能有遮挡了。)
据我估计,那次航行中大约有40名乘客,感觉船上挺热闹的。
实际的航行时间约为45分钟到1小时;由于船身较小,在海浪中容易受到影响。或许最重要的是,船上似乎没有厕所(所以要做好准备:在3小时的航程中无法使用洗手间)。
工作人员非常友善且乐于助人——当然,他们对行程也了如指掌。
不过此行的重点还是斯塔法岛与芬格尔洞窟。那里简直美得令人窒息,是大自然的杰作,地质景观也极为惊人。实在让人叹为观止。
另外请记住:岛上没有任何遮蔽处,也没有洗手间。进入芬格尔洞窟的过程实际上相当热闹——算不上是那种与世隔绝的荒野体验啦。不过,排个小队又有什么关系呢,绝对值得!
在岛上步行10分钟左右,就能远离人群,欣赏到绝美的景色。
苏格兰真是个令人惊叹的地方。
最后的小提示:记得带上防蚊剂哦!
