Tekemistä paikassa Mackenzie District

Saavuttuamme tähtienkatselupaikalle henkilökunta pyysi jokaista jäsentä asettumaan lepotuoliin ja jakoi paksun peiton (lämpötila oli vain muutamia asteita, erittäin kylmä). Ensimmäisessä vaiheessa katselimme paljain silmin, ja henkilökunta osoitti tähtitaivaalle tähtikynällä selittäen samalla tähtitieteellistä tietoa. Paljain silmin katselun jälkeen siirryimme tähtienkatseluun kaukoputkella 🔭. Siellä oli kaksi kaukoputkea, ja kuvissa näkyvät otokset on otettu pääasiassa pienemmällä (pieni, mutta erittäin tehokas). Näimme Jupiterin raidat, Linnunradan tähtimeren, Kuun lempeän lähikuvan ja Etelän ristin ympärillä olevat tähdet ja paljon muuta. Olin todella liikuttunut kyyneliin asti. Paikan päällä nähtynä se oli uskomattoman paljon kauniimpaa kuin kuvissa, koska tunnet niiden olevan eläviä, liikkuvia ja kukkivia ⭐. Tämän aikana henkilökunta tarjosi jokaiselle kuuman suklaan ja otti valokuvia jokaisesta jäsenestä muistoksi. Lopuksi kokoonnuimme nuotion ääreen paahtamaan vaahtokarkkeja 🍡 ja päättelin tähtienkatselumatkani tyytyväisenä ～🤗

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!

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

Erittäin erityinen kokemus, helikopterimatka kestää noin 8 minuuttia yhteen suuntaan. Muista ottaa mukaan aurinkohattu ja aurinkolasit, sillä aurinko paistaa todella kirkkaasti. Muita varusteita, kuten käsineitä, housuja, takkeja ja kenkiä, ei tarvitse tuoda, sillä ne ovat saatavilla paikan päällä. Jäällä kävellessäkin tulee kuuma. Oppaamme sanoi, että olimme onnekkaita, kun löysimme jääluolan, jossa saimme ottaa kuvia.

We were incredibly lucky to have perfect weather — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Both my child and I were thrilled and had a great time. Our guide Jasper that day was exceptionally attentive and considerate, and we all really liked him. We highly recommend everyone to try the glacier hiking tour.

It was so cute and I was really satisfied. You can interact directly with the sheep and cows right next to you. However, there aren't any safety measures, so it might be a bit difficult for babies.

What an incredible experience. Scott is such a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and cheerful. The hike was around 1.5 hour with lots of time stopping for pictures, so it was not as physically demanding as expected. The glacier is truly mesmerising, it is one of the best memories I have made in NZ!

I participated in the Japanese tour and was extremely satisfied. The weather was looking iffy that day, and when I looked up at the sky after dark, it was cloudy, making me worry if the tour would be okay. Fortunately, the sky cleared up just in time for the midnight tour. Choosing the Japanese (my native language) tour was also an excellent decision. Our guide shared fascinating, in-depth knowledge, almost like an astronomy enthusiast, which made observing the New Zealand sky incredibly interesting. The observatory is located high up on a mountain, and it's pitch black with no cell phone lights allowed, so you need to watch your step carefully. However, as long as a normal adult listens to the guide and follows instructions, there shouldn't be any problems. I later learned from an email from the Dark Sky Project that if I had booked directly instead of through an agency, I could have entered a lottery to get a cashback on the participation fee by posting a review on their official site. From now on, I'll consider booking international attractions directly instead of through Klook.
