公园很美,司机Geoff是个反华

公园确实很新奇,各种地热现象都能看到,很值得一看。司机的话,先说好的,会用英文介绍罗托鲁瓦,因为我和闺蜜走散了,等了我们五分钟很感谢。然而,上车时司机问了我一句:香港人还是中国人?我说大陆的,香港也是中国的。在这之后司机就开始各种诋毁中国。出门在外不想不愉快,但心里真的很憋气!因为司机的表现整体只能打两分真的很抱歉。希望对司机加强培训,不该说的话不要说!也给后面的亲提个醒,如果不想不愉快还是别搭司机Geoff的车!

仙境般的地热世界

wai-o-tapu步道分三条分别是红线,橙线和黄线,时长从30分钟到一个小时不等,景色很棒,颜色很梦幻,唯一可惜的就是天气不太给力,多彩的地热世界再加上蓝天白云就无敌了,长白云之乡怎么能蓝天白云呢,好可惜! lady knox geyser每天10:20如期喷发,但事实是工作人员加入了某种特殊物质产生的化学反应,无论是什么,结果是令人惊叹的,游客也是我在北岛见到最多的一个地方! 旅程很棒,接送也非常及时!谢谢!一定会推荐给亲朋好友!

非常值得一遊的行程

對於沒有開車自駕的人來說,參加這一類的行程真是太方便了!Wai-O-Tapu 附近搭公共交通不易抵達,本身門票也不便宜,但非常值得一遊!整個地熱公園分成好幾條路線,我們全部都有走完哦~地熱景觀十分壯觀(那個噴泉秀倒是還好==有點虛) 此行一大亮點是導遊兼司機人很好,因為當天報名人數少,是開他自己的私家車接送。沿路上講解很詳細,他說他曾經待過台灣六年,我們聊了很多關於台灣的事。到了景點他會在車上等你,本來覺得有點失落(原本期待講解)但後來反而覺得這樣子挺好,比較不會有壓力,可以享受自己拍照看風景的時光,只要在集合時間回到車上即可。 附近的紅樹林景點也超棒的,(未含在行程內,是我下午自己去的),搭配早上的Wai-O-Tapu剛好排滿一天,完美!
