Mackenzie District Ture

Efter ankomsten til stjernekiggerstedet bad personalet hvert medlem om at lægge sig i en liggestol og udleverede et tykt tæppe (temperaturen var kun et par grader, meget koldt). Den første del var at kigge med det blotte øje, hvor personalet pegede på stjernehimlen med en astronomisk laserpointer, mens de forklarede astronomisk viden. Efter at have kigget med det blotte øje, brugte vi astronomiske teleskoper 🔭 til at kigge på stjerner. Der var to teleskoper, og billederne er for det meste taget med det lille (lille, men meget kraftfuldt). Vi så Jupiters striber, Mælkevejens stjernehimmel, et blidt nærbillede af Månen, og stjernerne omkring Sydkorset osv. Det var virkelig så rørende, at jeg fik lyst til at græde. At se det live er utallige gange smukkere end på billeder, fordi man føler, at de er levende, de bevæger sig, de blomstrer ⭐ Undervejs tilbød personalet også hver person en kop varm chokolade og tog billeder af hvert medlem som minde. Til sidst samledes vi omkring bålet og ristede skumfiduser 🍡. Min stjernekiggerrejse sluttede tilfredsstillende. 🤗

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.

Oplevelsen med at se Mount Cook og Southern Alps, Fox Glacier, Franz Josef Glacier og Tasman Glacier var oprindeligt planlagt som en helikoptertur med landing på sneen. Men på grund af vejrforholdene på landingsstedet var dette ikke muligt, så vi fik en alternativ tur i et lille fly. Landskabet var utroligt smukt, og jeg kan varmt anbefale det. Den sikre flyvning og den detaljerede forklaring af terrænet og landskabet var højdepunktet. Mit barn elskede det også.

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!

Dette ville uden tvivl være min bedste tur nogensinde! Og jeg fik lov til at sidde på forsædet under turen. Vores turguide og chauffør ved navn Jason – han var intet mindre end fantastisk og meget cool under hele vores tur. Han er meget vidende og kender Queenstown, Aoraki Mount Cook og andre steder, vi har besøgt, rigtig godt. Jeg savner også den musikafspilningsliste, du har, Jason. Lol. Jeg deltog i Mount Cook og Tasman Glacier-turen. Vi havde et par stop undervejs, hvor vi kunne tage billeder og selfies, især under køreturen til Mount Cook. Udsigten der var intet mindre end fantastisk! Han fortalte også historien om fåret Shrek. Snacks og vand blev sørget for, og han holdt os godt mætte og hydrerede. Jeg kan ikke anbefale Cheeky Kiwi Travel nok, og især Jason, som gjorde turen sikker og afslappet for os passagerer, og vi nød hele udflugten. Jeg vil helt sikkert booke mine fremtidige rejser snart med Cheeky Kiwi. Skål!

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