点评:This was sixth and last in the itinerary of our Joiners Coron Island Super Ultimate Tour with Calamian Islands Travel and Tours on Wed, May 17. We were here around 3:30PM. Our tour boat stopped in the outer lagoon some distance away from the rock arch access. Our guide Long then informed everyone that the only options to reach the inner lagoon were to either kayak or swim. Since we rented a 3-person crystal kayak (P1500) for the day, the decision was made for us, we would go kayaking. For our two seniors (mid-70s), swimming to the inner lagoon was too physically demanding and both decided to stay on the boat.
Once again, I sat in the middle of the crystal kayak while my son and my husband occupied the front and rear, respectively. My two paddlers did a good job and were able to manoeuvre our kayak beneath the low rock arch without a hitch. It was an adventure passing underneath this natural arch and I got it all on video. I noticed in the video that we instinctively ducked our heads as we were passing through because it looked like we might bang our heads if we didn't do so--the arch ceiling seemed a bit too low for comfort. A friend told me that when her family went on a private tour, their guide made them float face up single file, holding onto the feet of the person ahead of them, while he slowly pulled them using a life ring underneath the rock arch. It's plain that we both visited Twin Lagoon during low tide. If it were high tide, the kayak would be useless as the water would submerge the arch ceiling. No wonder there are wooden ladders on both sides of the rock arch. During high tide, visitors are expected to climb over the arch to reach the inner lagoon. From the looks of it, obviously not for the faint of heart.
Anyway, we kayaked around the lagoon and I was able to take photos and videos of our secluded surroundings. One of the boat crew members on another kayak offered to take our photo so I handed the action camera to him. We were getting ready to return to the tour boat when, to our surprise, we saw our two seniors in the water with our guide Del. Both were calmly holding onto a life ring while Del casually pulled them around. Our tour boat stayed here at Twin Lagoon for about an hour before it was time to return to Coron Town dock.
翻译:这是我们 5 月 17 日星期三与卡拉棉群岛旅游和旅游公司一起参加的木工科隆岛超级终极之旅的第六个也是最后一个行程。我们在下午 3:30 左右到达这里。我们的游船停在外泻湖,距离岩石拱门有一段距离。然后我们的导游 Long 告诉大家,到达内泻湖的唯一选择是划皮划艇或游泳。由于我们当天租了一艘3人水晶皮划艇(P1500),所以我们就做出了决定,我们去皮划艇。对于我们的两位老人(70 多岁)来说,游泳到内泻湖对体力要求太高,所以两人都决定留在船上。
我再次坐在水晶皮划艇的中间,我的儿子和我的丈夫分别占据了前排和后排。我的两个桨手做得很好,能够顺利地在低矮的岩石拱门下操纵我们的皮划艇。从这个天然拱门下经过是一次冒险,我把这一切都记录在视频中。我在视频中注意到,我们在经过时本能地低下了头,因为如果我们不这样做的话,看起来我们可能会撞到头——拱形天花板似乎有点太低了,不舒服。一位朋友告诉我,当她的家人进行私人旅行时,他们的导游让他们面朝上排成一列漂浮,抓住前面的人的脚,同时用救生圈在岩石拱门下方慢慢地拉动他们。很明显,我们都是在退潮时参观双泻湖的。如果涨潮,皮划艇就没用了,因为水会淹没拱形天花板。难怪岩拱两侧都有木梯。涨潮时,游客需要爬过拱门才能到达内泻湖。从表面上看,显然不适合胆小的人。
不管怎样,我们在泻湖周围划皮划艇,我能够为我们僻静的环境拍摄照片和视频。另一艘皮划艇上的一名船员主动提出要给我们拍照,所以我把运动相机递给了他。当我们准备返回游船时,令我们惊讶的是,我们看到我们的两位老人和我们的导游德尔在水中。两人都平静地握着救生圈,而德尔则随意地拉着他们。我们的游船在双泻湖停留了大约一个小时,然后才返回科隆镇码头。
