Un cop vam arribar al punt d'observació d'estrelles, el personal va fer que cada membre s'estirés en una gandula i els va donar una manta gruixuda (la temperatura era de pocs graus, feia molt de fred). La primera part va ser observar a ull nu, mentre el personal assenyalava el cel amb un punter làser astronòmic i ens explicava coneixements d'astronomia. Després d'observar a ull nu, vam utilitzar telescopis astronòmics 🔭 per observar les estrelles. Hi havia dos telescopis, i la majoria de les fotos de la imatge van ser preses amb el més petit (petit, però molt potent). Vam veure les ratlles de Júpiter, el mar d'estrelles de la Via Làctia, un primer pla suau de la Lluna, i les estrelles al voltant de la Creu del Sud, entre d'altres. Realment em va emocionar fins al punt de voler plorar. Veure-ho en persona és infinitament més bonic que a les fotos, perquè sents que tenen vida, que es mouen, que brillen ⭐. Durant el procés, el personal també va oferir a cadascú una tassa de xocolata calenta, va fer fotos a cada membre com a record, i finalment, tots junts al voltant d'una foguera, vam torrar núvols de sucre 🍡. Així va acabar el meu viatge d'observació d'estrelles, amb el cor content. 🤗

Director Andy was humorous and patient, which added a lot of fun to the experience. The entire activity was very educational, especially suitable for those with no prior knowledge of celestial bodies. There were down jackets available in various sizes for loan, so there was no need to worry about being cold, and they were all very clean. The only two downsides were that you couldn't lie down to stargaze, only stand and look up; and even with the super telescope, you could only see tiny glowing dots. However, overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and we were also very lucky to see a bit of the aurora and even capture some photos.

The guide to the star gazing was very professional and he explained it very clearly while gazing the stars. We were fortunate that the night sky was very clear where we could see the stars without any cloud blocking. group size: 4 guide: Wilson

A truly worthwhile experience! The pre-flight safety briefing was very thorough, the helicopter appeared well-maintained, and the pilot was extremely professional. At every stage—boarding, disembarking, and reaching the summit—they meticulously explained all necessary safety precautions, which made us feel very secure. The highlight: Mount Cook from the air is absolutely stunning!

Highly recommended for everyone. The whole flight was fun and scenery is amazing from beginning to end. Shout out to the Captain Nigel for buttery smooth ride, you are amazing pilot. Also, the whole crew of The Helicopter Line for awesome service. I will be back.

L'experiència de sobrevolar el Mont Cook i els Alps del Sud, incloent les glaceres Fox, Franz Josef i Tasman, havia de ser amb aterratge en la neu amb helicòpter. No obstant això, a causa de les condicions meteorològiques al lloc d'aterratge, es va substituir per un vol en avioneta. El paisatge era tan increïblement bonic que recomano moltíssim fer-ho almenys una vegada. El vol segur i les riques explicacions sobre el paisatge i la geografia van ser el millor. Al meu fill també li va encantar.

We booked our flight through Klook, including the pick-up and drop-off service at the Hermitage Hotel, and received confirmation directly from INFLITE. The day before our trip, we sent an email to reconfirm the schedule and they replied swiftly. We were assigned a ski plane to the Tasman Glacier and a helicopter for the return. Walking on the glacier with such stunning views was an amazing experience. Luckily, the weather was great and it wasn't too cold. The pilots were very kind and helpful, even taking many photos for us. This is highly recommended if you are staying at Mt. Cook; it’s a breathtaking way to enjoy the mountain scenery!

fantastic! fantastic! and fantastic!!! I do recommend you to ride and am sure that you will have a wonderful time :)

This would be by far my best tour ever! And I get to have the front seat during the trip. Our tour guide and driver by the name of Jason - he is nothing but awesome and very cool during our entire trip. He is very knowledgeable and knows Queenstown, Aoraki Mount Cook and other places we've been to very much. I also miss that music playlist that you have, Jason. Lol. Anyway, I joined the Mount Cook and Tasman Glacier tour. We had a couple of stopovers wherein we were able to take photos and selfies especially during the drive to Mount Cook. The view there was nothing but Amazing! He also shared about the story of Shrek the sheep. Snacks and water provided and he kept us well fed and hydrated. I cannot recommend Cheeky Kiwi Travel enough and especially Jason who made the trip, us his passengers safe and relaxed and enjoyed this whole excursion. I will surely book my future travels soon with Cheeky Kiwi. Cheers!
