乘私人飛機(jī)飛往夢(mèng)想島

在塞班島與海水共舞

旅行中的飛機(jī)與私人管家

在塞班島享受了夢(mèng)翔天下組織的6夜7天的行程，令我和妻子還有兒子度過了非常美好的時(shí)光，盡管短暫，但卻成為我們一家人共同的美好記憶。乘著私人飛機(jī)飛往塞班島，在降落以后，迎接大家的是機(jī)場(chǎng)VIP休息廳，接著大家乘坐豪華轎車到達(dá)私人別墅。當(dāng)大家到達(dá)別墅后，行李已經(jīng)被靜靜地?cái)[放在了房間內(nèi)。

早晨伴隨著鳥語(yǔ)花香醒來，管家端來私人廚師按照大家的口味特別烹飪的早餐，旅行公司可以幫助我們制訂一整周的旅行計(jì)劃，不過也可以當(dāng)天自由選擇不同項(xiàng)目或路線。記得第一天，我們開車到鳥島（Bird Island）進(jìn)行游覽。鳥島擁有塞班島上最令人心醉的景色。據(jù)說，鳥島偶爾會(huì)有鳥類云集上空，仿佛一層薄薄的云，因而得名鳥島。司機(jī)Becky在起伏顛簸的碎石路上展現(xiàn)了他的車技，穿過曲折的巖洞區(qū)，帶我們來到著名的“島嶼巖洞游泳池”。

在巖洞里潛水

在路上吃過午飯后，大家跟著私人潛水教練David前往之前商定好的潛水地點(diǎn)。塞班島海水的起伏會(huì)隨時(shí)間的變化而變化，所以事前需要和由專業(yè)的導(dǎo)游與公司溝通好潛水地點(diǎn)。

David帶我們來到塞班島大巖洞，這是在塞班島旅行的必去之地。這個(gè)天然的巨大游泳池，是一個(gè)在離北島峭壁邊很近的大洞穴，與海遙遙相望。據(jù)David說，以前當(dāng)?shù)厝艘诖髱r洞中潛水游泳，需要從上方吊著一根繩子晃晃悠悠地下去，現(xiàn)在這里修建了一些陡峭的混凝土石階，可以通過它們下到水中。由于巖洞特殊的結(jié)構(gòu)，這里的水時(shí)而平靜時(shí)而洶涌，我們必須抓住時(shí)機(jī)，在它平靜下來的那幾分鐘踏水走到中間的大巖石上去，如果時(shí)機(jī)不對(duì)就會(huì)被沖到巖石壁上。

爬上大巖石穿好裝備后，很多新人都很緊張。下水要沿著繩子，鉆過一個(gè)天然的小山洞，那里有很多漂亮的魚和珊瑚，大巖洞的環(huán)境非常適合潛水。

大巖洞的內(nèi)部雖然沒有多樣的珊瑚，但是順勢(shì)而下的奇形怪狀的巖石帶來與眾不同的景象。尤其是從3個(gè)通道攝入的光線，將水底的景象照射得奇異瑰麗，是拍照的好機(jī)會(huì)。而在大巖洞的外部，深入水底的巖壁上周圍，有成群的鸚哥魚和很多我們叫不出名字的生物，還有橙色的扇形珊瑚，我們要做的是跟緊導(dǎo)游，以免迷路回不來。

最后必須得攀著繩子從水底出來，攀上巖石非常艱難，一般總會(huì)滑下去多次，最后才登上去。當(dāng)你從水中出來時(shí)，一定要記得拉住綁在大巖洞中心浮標(biāo)上的繩子再往上爬，不然很容易被卷入巖洞壁周圍激烈旋轉(zhuǎn)著的浪花中。

這次雖然沒有潛到很深，但是因?yàn)樗饺私叹毜墓膭?lì)和專業(yè)素養(yǎng)使我終于克服了對(duì)水的恐懼感。在此之前，我從來都不敢想象自己可以潛水，去普吉我連浮潛都不敢，去沙巴時(shí)終于下水浮潛了，去塞班可以體驗(yàn)潛水了，下站去馬爾代夫，應(yīng)該可以熟練潛水了。

在海面享受天空

第二天，我們選的是另一項(xiàng)海上運(yùn)動(dòng)——帆傘運(yùn)動(dòng)，這次令我印象深刻的除了運(yùn)動(dòng)本身，還有當(dāng)?shù)貙?dǎo)游的感染力。Westphal是當(dāng)?shù)氐姆珎氵\(yùn)動(dòng)類私人導(dǎo)游，他已經(jīng)在這里作為帆傘運(yùn)動(dòng)的船長(zhǎng)20年了。Westphal說他每天都出海，乘著漂亮的船只，作為戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)愛好者的他感到非常享受人生。他說：“在我的閑暇時(shí)間我喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)，大部分是水上運(yùn)動(dòng)，基本都會(huì)受到天氣的影響“。如果風(fēng)好，他一定會(huì)去進(jìn)行風(fēng)箏沖浪。

我本來想說服妻子與我一起在空中飛翔，沒想到妻子沒被說服，孩子卻被說服了，于是我們倆就像風(fēng)箏一樣被船長(zhǎng)放飛，升到20米的高空中，一切盡收眼底：沉船的船體，成群的魚類，還有在船上微笑著仰望我們的妻子。我的耳邊彌漫著兒子的笑聲，尤其是當(dāng)船長(zhǎng)減速，讓我們從高空下降至水面踏浪前進(jìn)時(shí)，他更是興奮無比。突然我們感覺附近有個(gè)不明飛行物，原來是一臺(tái)飛行攝影機(jī)，它一直在記錄著我和兒子在空中的歡樂場(chǎng)景，而這樣的場(chǎng)景將被制成DVD作為禮物送給Simon。

在這里，每天早上還有私人教練教我們打高爾夫球，一個(gè)星期以后，兒子的高爾夫球球技突飛猛進(jìn)。另外，最讓他高興的是乘坐形狀可愛的黃色潛艇進(jìn)入海底欣賞海洋生物，這彌補(bǔ)了之前孩子不能和我們一起在大巖洞潛水的遺憾。

Saipan： Dance With the Waters

Private Jet and Private Butler

Simon Lee， who had spent 7 days in Saipan on a tour organized by AVICUS， shared his experience wit U-Jet： I had a great time with my wife， my son， and another family. Although short， the time we spent there will be a beautiful memory shared by my family. After arriving by a private jet， we were escorted to the VIP lounge， and then picked up by a luxury limousine to a private villa. The service staff had been considerate and friendly. By the time we get to the villa， our baggage had already been placed in our rooms.

The next morning， we woke up to chirping birds， fragrant flowers， and a private butler serving breakfast made to our taste by a private chef. The travel agency could plan for the whole week， but also allows flexibility for choosing activities or routes on a daily basis. On the first day， we drove to the Bird Island. Reputed to have the most captivating view of Saipan， the Bird Island gets its name from groups of birds hovering like a thin layer of cloud above the island. Our chauffeur Becky drove us with applaudable skills on the gravel roads to Kalabera Cave . Located in the heart of the forest， the cave is home to mysterious ancient totems and pictograms. Served as a hideout and meeting place during war times， the cave was not as cold as expected， some of us even sweated. Coming out， we headed to the famous \"island swimming pool\"

Dive in the Grotto

After launch， we followed our private coach David to the agreed diving site. Because the sea rises and falls with time， we need to confirm the diving site in advance with a professional guide or agency.

David led us to the big grotto， a must-visit site in Saipan. It was a natural pool by the north island cliffs overlooking the sea. From the parking lot， we could see the big grotto caved in among the trees. According to David， in the past， locals had to climb down a rope hanging precarious above in order to dive in the grotto， but today a steep staircase has been built all the way to the water. Due to the unique structure of the grotto， the waters here are mercurial， sometimes tranquil， and other times sinister. We had to seize the short time window when the waters were calm to wade to the huge rock in the center， otherwise， we might be caught by the waves and crushed to the cliff.

Climbed up and geared up， some first timers were nervous. My assistant coach praised my preparation and asked me not to be nervous， saying it was not dangerous. I dived into the water， followed the rope through a cave， and came to the view of beautiful fishes and corals. It is a great place to dive. And diving has much more fun than scuba diving. It is a totally different world beneath the water.

There are not many varieties of corals in the grotto， but the oddly shaped rocks present a unique view. The light showering through the three entrances painted the water with beautiful colors， perfect for photo shooting. When I swam outside the grotto， I saw a large variety of fishes， including parrot fish and many others that I could not name， as well as fan-shaped corals. Just remember following your guide， you won't be able to find back if you got lost.

We had to climb up the rock along a rope. It took quite a while and several slips for us to get out. Remember to grasp the rope of the buoy in the center of the grotto， or you may risk being washed away by the swirling waves.

I did not dive deep， but thanks to the encouragement and expertise of my private coach， I overcame my fear of water， and succeeded in the first attempt. Before that， I did not make up my mind to scuba dive in Phuket， but I did it in Sabah， now that I tried diving in Saipan， I could enjoy it next time I visit the Maldives.

Enjoy the Sky on the Sea

The second day， we went to experience other sea sport - parasailing. I was impressed both by the sport and passion of the local parasail guide. Westphal had been a private parasail captain for 20 years. He sailed everyday on his beautiful ship. A fan of outdoor sport， he said he enjoyed this lifestyle. \"I love to work out， mostly water sports， at my leisure time，\" he said， \"which basically depends on the weather.\" If the wind is right， he would go kitesurfing.

I tried to persuade my wife to sail with me， but my son was talked into this first， so the two of us were let go by the captain like a kite all the way to 20 meters above the water. It was a great view up there， with the ship， hordes of fish， and my smiling wife below me. My son laughed all the way and was especially thrilled when the captain slowed down and were landed on the water. Suddenly I saw an unidentified flying object flash by， I turned around， and found out that it was a flying camera， recording the happy time I had with my son. The recording was later made into a DVD and presented as gift to us.

Every morning， a private coach would teach me and my family golf. After a week， my son had made some real improvement. But he was most excited when he took the cute yellow submarine to view sea life， which kind of made up my regret that he could not dive with us in the grotto.

塞舌爾島的大航海時(shí)代

塞班島豐富的海上活動(dòng)受到很多人的追捧，而塞舌爾島附近的帆船航海線路形成了島嶼旅游的特殊主題。塞舌爾SEZ國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)是私人飛機(jī)經(jīng)常降落的地方，很多包機(jī)公司都設(shè)有這條航向，由此可見該島受歡迎的程度。

歷史上歐洲的航海大國(guó)，葡萄牙、英國(guó)、法國(guó)曾紛紛踏上過塞舌爾島，并為了爭(zhēng)奪這個(gè)戰(zhàn)利品，不惜刀槍相向。所以，如果想親身體會(huì)一下當(dāng)時(shí)歐洲航海者們的心情，沒有比航海更適合塞舌爾的旅行方式了。正如旅行者Ada Wang所說：“在塞舌爾打開的是帆，更是自己的心；擁有的是一段旅程，更是一輩子的朋友”。

Ada說：“在船上，我們最喜歡的就是躺在船尾的大網(wǎng)上感受浪花飛濺海風(fēng)腥甜，仿佛海中的吊床一般”。航海的感覺就是大家以船為家，吃住行都在船上，自己捕魚，自己準(zhǔn)備食材，你可以自己準(zhǔn)備自己國(guó)家的飯食，也可以請(qǐng)船上的廚師做飯。

在Ada看來，塞舌爾島有很多又大又傻的魚，一開始大家還釣魚，后來發(fā)現(xiàn)只要把網(wǎng)放在水中，丟一些面包，隨便就能撈上來毫無防備的大魚。他們還像海盜一樣走到桅桿上進(jìn)行桅桿跳船，被問到是否擔(dān)心過鯊魚時(shí)，她說不知者無畏。有一次他們跳進(jìn)海里嬉戲一番后上來，看到當(dāng)?shù)厝梭@訝的表情，一問才知道那里常有鯊魚出沒。

當(dāng)然，要體驗(yàn)航海就必須學(xué)習(xí)駕船操帆，而這其中最重要的技術(shù)就是掌握風(fēng)和帆之間的關(guān)系。帆船的帆是由不同的繩子來控制的，光學(xué)會(huì)掌握這幾根繩子就不是一件容易的事。而這只是技術(shù)層面的事，其實(shí)駕駛帆船還要有觀天象的本領(lǐng)，這可不是一日之功。Ada跟我們說了一個(gè)故事，有一次大家都在午休，船長(zhǎng)也累了，讓同行的一個(gè)女孩去為掌舵，并告訴她：“你看到前面那個(gè)島嶼了，就一直往那個(gè)方向前行，過5分鐘后叫我。”但是等船長(zhǎng)醒來時(shí)便發(fā)現(xiàn)，也許是風(fēng)向有所改變，船已經(jīng)偏離航線很遠(yuǎn)，而女孩還全然不知默默地在那里掌舵。

Ada說很多參加過航海的人會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己與家人還有朋友的另一面，感受到不同于城市生活中的相處方式與心靈交流。

Seychelles-

The Age of

Exploration

Seychelles is a popular destination for its diverse activities on the sea， such as a themed sailboat exploration tour around the island. The SEZ International Airpot on the island is thus frequented by private jets and charter airlines alike.

The European sea powers in history， including Portugal， Britain， and French， had all set their feet on Seychelles once and had waged wars to claim this \"trophy\". If you want an experience of the age of explorations， sailing would be the best option for you to tour around Seychelles. Just as traveller Ada Wang says， \"At Seychelles， when you open a sail， you will also open up your heart. You make a voyage， and you will also make lifelong friends.\"

Ada said， \"Our favorite sport is to lie in the net at the end of the ship to feel the spindrift in the salty air.\" On an sailing exploration， the ship is your home. You eat， live， and walk on the ship， you fish， prepare， and cook your own food， or just leave it to the cook.

Seychelles also produces many big but stupid fishes， observed Ada. At first， everyone would angle， but soon they found out， they did not need to go through all the trouble， just throw a net into the water and drop some bread， the fish would simply swim into the net. They would also dive off masts like pirates. When asked if they are afraid of sharks， she said jokingly， the ignorant has nothing to fear. Seeing the astounded faces of locals once after they had dived and played into the sea， they raised question and got to know that sharks had been sighted around where they had dived.

To explore the sea， you need to learn how to pilot a ship or control the sails， said Ada. Sailing is about balancing the wind and the sails. The sails are controlled by a number of ropes， and it is not easy to master. Technical aspects aside， you also need to learn how to observe the weather， which is not something you could master in one day. Ada shared with U-Jet a story. Once everyone on board a ship was taking a nap at noon， the captain was also tired， so he asked a girl on board to take the helm for him， \"You see the island ahead， just keep to that direction.\" When the captain woke up 5 minutes later， he found the ship off course， probably due to the change of wind direction， but the girl was still holding the helm unaware of the situation. Ada said， many people who took an exploration would find another side of themselves or of their family， and experience an exchange at soul level unlike anything you could experience in the cities.

哥白尼燈塔島的孤島旅行

哥白尼燈塔島在克羅地亞，是一個(gè)巖石島嶼，除了沒有監(jiān)獄以外，這個(gè)島與《勇闖奪命島》上面的舊金山惡魔島幾乎擁有同一種孤獨(dú)、與世隔絕的氣質(zhì)。孤獨(dú)的島嶼上面有一個(gè)孤獨(dú)燈塔，后來這個(gè)燈塔變成現(xiàn)在的超豪華酒店。這里垂直于海面的峭壁，難以前進(jìn)的巖石路，成為了徒步旅行者探險(xiǎn)的好場(chǎng)所。

與Dubrovnik島嶼的老港口相隔約4公里，目前還在服役中的哥白尼燈塔聳立在拔地而起的巖石中間。燈塔擴(kuò)建以后變成了酒店，其中有3個(gè)大臥室，還有一個(gè)超大的客廳。這個(gè)奇特的孤島酒店只有5月到10月才開放，仿佛展現(xiàn)了它不愿與人過多接觸的特質(zhì)。并且，這個(gè)酒店最多能夠容納6個(gè)人，平均每人400多美元，很多人度蜜月會(huì)選擇這個(gè)孤獨(dú)的燈塔，據(jù)說孤島上的神秘感能夠給新婚夫婦留下終生的記憶。與那些充滿陽(yáng)光沙灘的島嶼不同，在這里你能充分地體驗(yàn)“孤獨(dú)”。

這個(gè)冷峻的與眾不同的巖石島嶼上沒有沙灘，大家都是從碼頭上跳到水中去游泳的。在夏秋季節(jié)，枝葉茂密，加上各種奇形怪狀的巖石，披荊斬棘，攀爬巖石，不斷前進(jìn)，是那些想要享受荒島生存的大男孩們最興奮的旅行方式。另外，如果有時(shí)間的話，歷史古城Dubrovnik距離燈塔只有幾公里，是不錯(cuò)的文化旅行圣地。

其實(shí)，即使不去古城Dubrovnik，燈塔本身就使得游客有一種沉溺在歷史中的真實(shí)感。這個(gè)燈塔建于1872年，從意大利Taranto出發(fā)并在此觸礁沉于海中的商船就在離岸20米處，跟隨導(dǎo)游潛到海底，穿梭于沉船中，幽靈船般的場(chǎng)景使得大家無比興奮。如果你每天額外交付100歐元就能擁有專有廚師為你準(zhǔn)備的特供餐飲，還能有一個(gè)私人管家每天為你端茶倒水，照顧起居。

Lighthouse Grebini

- Enjoy Loneliness

Lighthouse Grebini is a rock island in Croatia. It is in every way as detached and lonely as the Alcatraz Island as depicted in the movie - The Rock， except there is no prison on it. The lone island is home to a lone lighthouse， which has been converted to a luxury hotel today. Its steep cliffs and rugged trails makes it a perfect place for adventurous hiking.

About 4 km off the ancient dock of Dubrovnik island， the still in-service Lighthouse Grebini Lighthouse stood lonely among the rising rocks. The converted hotel now offers three large-size bedrooms and a super large living room. This peculiar lone island is open to the public every May through October， as if not willing to get too much contact with the public. The hotel could house at most 6 residents at 400 US dollars each. Many honeymoon goers would choose to spend their time here. It is said that the private and mysterious environment would leave newly-weds a lasting memory. Unlike the islands that have sunny beaches， at here， you can have a full taste of looniness.

There is no beach on the island， swimmers would simply jumped off the dock for fun. In the summer， the tree-teeming ragged rock island would be the ideal place for adventurous big boys to blaze trails through the steep cliffs in a survival game. If time avails， you could also pay a cultural tour to the ancient city of Dubrovnik， which is only several miles away from the lighthouse.

Even if you don't go to Dubrovnik， the lighthouse itself could offer you flavor of history. Built in 1872， the lighthouse had seen the sinking of a trade ship from Taranto， Italy just 20 meters off the coast. Following the guide into the sunken ship， we were excited to swim in the ghostly waters. If you pay an extra 100 euros， you could also enjoy the dedicated service of a chef and a private butler.

Apart from the above mentioned islands， there are also many other islands frequented by private jets， such as the Little White Cay of Panama or the Necker Island of the British Virgin Islands. If time allows， you may even embark on a tour of private islands around the world.
