瓦林迪種植園度假飯店(Walindi Plantation Resort)

我丈夫和我在 2 月中旬在這裡住了 9 個晚上，每人進行了 22 次高氧潛水。該度假村為家族所有，設施完善，擁有美麗的花園和良好的設施。我們住在其中一間乾淨、基本但寬敞的平房裡。我發現床和枕頭很硬！沒有空調，但有 2 個頭頂風扇和充足的氣流，因為窗戶上只有屏幕，微風從水面上吹下來。他們有沏茶/咖啡設施、迷你冰箱（含純牛奶！）和部分電力供應。大部分時間都提供充足的電力供應，但這似乎取決於入住客人的數量。由於我們通常是整個度假村中唯一的客人，因此下午停電，但下午 5 點左右又恢復正常。在這些時間和夜間，太陽能提供有限的照明並運行風扇。使用太陽能時，冰箱/水壺不工作。有一個非空調/開放式酒吧區和餐廳，如果天氣太熱，還有一個空調餐廳。我們在那裡的大部分時間都是陰雨天，不需要空調。我真的很感激在我們的住宿期間提供免費洗衣服務，因為在陰天條件下沒有任何東西會乾燥，事實上我們的一些軟邊行李箱實際上開始發霉。飯菜很好，沒有什麼花哨的，根據入住人數的不同，可以點菜或自助餐。度假村與世隔絕，附近沒有商店，因此所有飲料和小吃都在酒店內購買。工作人員的服務一般都很好，除了偶爾酒吧工作人員似乎消失了，但我們總能找到人來幫助我們。 WiFi 僅在用餐區可用，非常好。潛水員很專業，總是非常樂於助人。酒店內設有潛水中心和帶船隻的碼頭。根據潛水人數的不同，我們使用了 2 艘不同大小的船。船上沒有廁所。如果我們每天進行 3 次潛水，那麼工作人員會和我們一起出去吃午飯，否則我們會在 2 次潛水後及時返回吃午飯。由於經常下雨，能見度受到影響，因此我們傾向於前往遠離主島的較遠潛水地點，這需要 45 分鐘至 60 分鐘或更長時間。水溫為 31 度，總體上很平靜。一個偶爾的潛水點會有一點水流，在水流很強的地方，船員們會拉出安全繩，讓他們下水。我發現潛水很棒，有成堆的魚類、大學校、健康的珊瑚礁和水中可以忽略不計的垃圾。也許這只是一年中的時間，但我發現沒有很多“小動物”（非魚類海洋生物）。我想在非雨季回來，看看海洋生物品種如何比較。我們的航班因新幾內亞航空（經常發生）來來往往而中斷，因此請做好最後一刻的延誤和航班取消準備。我們真的很享受我們在 Walindi 的住宿，並期待著再次入住

一個真正令人驚嘆的度假勝地！在更偏遠的新不列顛島上，您置身於美麗的水邊環境中。我們住在一間佈置精美的平房裡，景色很美。我們有足夠的空間來展開所有用於潛水的相機裝備。此外，家政服務很棒，在旅途中為我們洗衣服。現場用餐也很棒。現點現做的早餐、潛水船上令人驚嘆的自助午餐和每晚美味的自助餐以及種類繁多的食物。當然，對我們來說，這次旅行的亮點是精湛的潛水和出色的潛水員。潛水地點是原始的，有大群魚群在游弋，我們知識淵博的潛水教練總是能找到我們不尋常的生物來拍照。當您在這裡時，您真的會覺得自己是 Walindi Resort 大家庭的一員。非常值得從莫爾茲比港搭乘短途航班。

我們在 Walindi 度過了一周，包括 12 次潛水，這是我們度過的最好的家庭假期。整個體驗就像天堂一樣完美。我們三個人住在一棟平房裡，坐落在鬱鬱蔥蔥的綠色花園中，可以欣賞到金貝灣的神奇景色。餐廳酒吧區雖然簡單，但已經足夠了，非常適合環境和周圍環境。再次，從泳池到海灣的美景。如果再多的話，就會遠離這個真正的天堂的地方。潛水令人難以置信，每次潛水都有不同的地點，美麗的珊瑚，數不勝數的魚，鯊魚和與海豚一起游泳。在一個美麗的無人島上吃午餐，這個地方真的擁有一切，潛水大師和全體員工都非常關注我們的需求，並且非常熟悉自己的角色。潛水後，我們每天都可以進行一些當地旅遊，並在出發前的休息日進行火山健行。謝謝瓦林迪種植園度假村讓我們度過了完美的假期。

配備精良的潛水船和經驗豐富的潛水團隊，這是人們對像 Wilindi 這樣歷史悠久的經營者所期望的那樣。潛水並不像金貝灣/威林迪的各種廣告中所描述的那麼好（在我看來，與巴布亞新幾內亞其他地點相比，最多是 6/10）。巴布亞新幾內亞有優越的潛水地點（也可以透過陸地住宿到達，將瓦林迪與類似的設置進行比較）。我建議您前往卡維恩（Kavieng）（提供可靠/定期航班）以獲得卓越的潛水體驗（所有這些都在卡維恩的門口）和一些非常好的住宿地點。這次將返回威林迪度假村（住宿）。潛水在我的活動清單上（這次）並不重要，因為我對上次旅行（2022 年 11 月）缺乏魚和整體潛水體驗感到失望。

自 COVID 以來第一次出國旅行，來到 Walindi 就中了大獎。從您抵達霍斯金斯的那一刻起，我們就會提供優質的客戶服務。工作人員非常了解您的姓名和您來參加的活動。自助晚餐也是一大亮點，每晚都有種類繁多的海鮮菜餚。我一生中進行過的最佳潛水，令人驚嘆的潛水點，溫暖的海水，豐富的海洋生物，太棒了！

一個夢幻般的度假勝地，美妙的小屋，周圍環繞著綠色植物，就在水面上，非常乾淨，非常美味的食物，非常友好的人們，一個美妙的海底世界，一個經營得很好的潛水勝地，總而言之就是一個夢想

Walindi Plantation Resort is the ultimate chill spot. Imagine waking up in their super spacious bungalows - all natural vibes, facing east to catch those epic sunrises. The rainforest is your backyard, so expect a morning serenade from birds and bugs (don't worry, it's the good kind of wake-up call!). They've got tons of cool stuff to do too, from volcano hikes to snorkeling. There's even a hot spring and this crazy "kerosene river" that's actually super clean and blue! The staff are awesome, and trust me, you'll have a blast.

We spent one of the best holidays of our lives in Walindi Plantation Resort. Waking up and falling asleep to the sounds of birds singing, taking a kayak at sunset and admiring the extraordinary beauty of the corals, relaxing on a sun lounger while the children splash in the pool - all this is priceless. We sincerely thank the team for their hospitality, impeccable service and interesting excursions in the surrounding area. We recommend this beautiful resort from the bottom of our hearts!

I stayed here for three days solo snorkeling, and then joined a small bird tour group for three more days. Bungalows were great; beautiful gardens with gorgeous bird wing butterflies and a beautiful view. Bungalows were very well sealed, so didn't need mosquito net when sleeping. Not air-conditioned, but robust ceiling fans kept me cool for sleeping. Food was good. Snorkeling was good and they accommodated me as a solo snorkeler. But I can't say the staff was enthusiastic about my snorkeling. The captain of one boat asked me why I didn't dive – distinctly implying that he wished that I were a diver instead. They were not interested in what I wanted to see or planning an itinerary, but just gave a few options of where to go each day. They said there was a house reef, but I had to pester them to even put out a ladder for it. I was impressed with the house reef though – saw a lot of stuff I didn't see further offshore. But the big liveaboards docked in the same area, so it wasn't really possible to snorkel on the house reef once they arrived. Boat staff seemed friendly, but not reliable. On one combination bird/snorkeling outing, they forgot to bring defogger or a fresh water tank to soak cameras, etc. On another outing, I said I wanted to eat lunch at an island, but then once I got out there I was told they hadn't brung lunch and were returning at 1 PM. They also just let novices jump in the water without giving them any instructions about not stepping on the reef, etc. But I did otherwise feel safe in the water with the staff. The reefs all look good, and water visibility was excellent except near shore or islands. though there are signs of bleaching. I didn't see a lot of big stuff and no sharks. There was one huge Napoleon Wrasse and a pod of false killer whales (misidentified by the captain as melonhead whales) which I saw from the boat. But the highlights for me were smaller stuff – several species of shrimp gobies, a *****ed coral blenny (which is only found in this area and the Solomon Islands), a cool Phyllidia nudibranch I found, reef squid, loads of gorgeous reef fish, etc. Definitely worth a visit, but getting there can be an adventure. The national airline was not at all reliable when I was there; unexpected flight cancellations are routine. Security in Papua New Guinea is always a concern – though I felt safe enough at the resort.
