需要一定体能的运动

刚到那里换衣服前的心情是兴奋的。到了洞穴后的心情是紧张的。下水后感觉水太凉,不过一会儿就适应了。领队带我们涉水,漂流,钻洞,攀岩。虽然时间并没有像预定时说的五小时洞穴漂流,只有将近三小时。但体验还是很不错的。有点没尽兴,还想多漂一会儿就到地方了。总体来说是很不错的。不知道这个kiwi漂流和Black Water公司的漂流有什么不同。那家公司公告更亮,来回的车更好。

神秘的低下荧光世界

整个行程5个小时包括了换衣洗漱教学和探洞体验,非常令人愉快又难忘的旅程,深秋的季节换上潜水湿衣虽然在洞里涉水溯溪也并没有感觉冰冻寒冷,漫天的萤火虫发出的微光太令人惊叹,只可惜行程太多,时间太少,速降和攀岩距离太快太短了,旅程太快结束了!还有照片拍的不太理想,但还是希望有机会再来玩!我要玩那个lost world!

Not perfect but still fine

體驗其實蠻有趣的 人數不多玩起來品質不錯 而且洞裡面也是真的很漂亮 不是真的需要很多體力 累的程度大概三顆星(滿分五顆) 垂降攀岩爬石頭真的都蠻好玩的 建議大家鞋子要穿對尺寸 不然鞋子沖走走石子路是有點痛的 但是 教練對於工作太缺乏熱情 感覺只是在做例行公事 拍照也是隨手拿起相機隨便拍個一兩張還沒對焦 然後設備部分整個就是非常需要改進 整路都可以聞到安全帽的異味 整體來說算是個可以參加的活動 體驗部分都是有趣的 設備跟員工部分需要加強 當日體驗僅供參考~ 也許別人的教練沒那麼糟糕 建議還是夏天來玩 感覺會更好玩! - The experience was interesting. Each group’s maximum is 6, the quality is fine. The cave inside was really amazing! It is not really tired for this tour. Maybe just 3 stars for tiring level Abseiling, and rock climbing were really fun! But The guide is lack of passion for his job, it feels like just doing what he needs to do every day. When he took photo of us, let us feel he didn’t care whatever he took, just needed photos for the group. We thought the device is too old to use, it really really needs to be replaced. You can feel the super weird smell whole the ways when you wear the helmet. Overall, You still can join this tour! It’s really fun and interesting for experience. But you’d better come in Summer, It’s should be more interesting than Winter. Thank you !
