我们进行了一次实验性的越野旅行，并由专业的自然导游进行监督，以改进我们的越野旅行计划和导游技术。我们请自然导游填写一份调查问卷，并提出改善地质旅游的建议。在日本北海道中部的Shikaribetu火山群和Shikaribetu湖进行了实验性地质勘探。我们用尽可能简单的术语解释了火山群的地质历史和充满冰的寒冷堆积物斜坡的机制。然而，自然导游认为我们的地理路线“相当困难”，这表明我们的计划和解释需要改进。根据问卷调查的结果和自然导游的评论，我们提出了一些改进地质旅游的想法：（1）在解释中尽可能消除技术术语;（2）在解释中使用清晰的数字和图片;（3）制作一个故事来连接旅游中包含的所有地质景点。改进指南：（1）使用鸟瞰图或其他三维地图代替等高线图，以便于了解地形;（2）增加专业术语和地质年代表;（3）在地质旅行前将指南发送给参加者。这些想法可能有助于加深参与者的理解，并在参与者中实现高水平的满意度。
We conducted an experimental geotour, which was monitored by professional nature guides, to improve our geotour plan and guiding techniques. We asked the nature guides to fill out a questionnaire and give advices to improve the geotours. The experimental geotours were conducted at the Shikaribestu volcano group and Shikaribetu Lake in central Hokkaido, Japan. We explained the geological history of the volcano group and the mechanism of cold talus slopes filled with ice, in as simple terms as possible. However, the nature guides judged our geotours to be “rather difficult”, indicating that our plan and interpretation need to be improved. Based on the results of questionnaires and comments from the nature guides, we propose some ideas to improve the geotour in general: (1) Eliminate technical terms where possible in the explanations; (2) Use clear figures and pictures in explanations; and, (3) Make a story to connect all the geosites included in a tour. To improve guidebooks: (1) Use bird's-eye view map or other 3D maps instead of contour maps to make it easy to understand the landform; (2) Add glossary of technical terms and scale of geologic time; and, (3) Send the guidebook to participants before the geotour. These ideas may help to deepen the participant's' understanding and to achieve high-level of satisfaction among participants.
