滿有趣的體驗

獨木舟是腳踩式的,所以相對輕鬆很多,也完全不會濕。教練認真的講解地形生態,帶你了解這個地方、海豹。幸運地有遇到海豹在玩水,但實際上,不能靠他們太近,99%的海豹們,其實都懶懶的躺在岩石上。

Not bad

腳划船比較不累,且有更多時間可以看一些景色 但沒有很大的機率看到除了海豹的動物

Great experience

很棒的体验。划着皮划艇靠近海豹栖息地,近距离观察海豹。每位工作人员照顾2~3个皮划艇,充分照顾到游客,并讲解海豹和凯库卡的相关信息

I will come again next time

A very fulfilling experience. I thought it would be very dangerous, but in reality it's not at all. Even if I can't swim, I can still have a lot of fun. Simply control the pedal with foot that’s enough. I was excited to see seals and dolphins playing in the sea. I think I will come again next time, completely basking in the sunshine and enjoying the taste of the sea breeze. The staff are very enthusiastic and patient.
