A very special experience. The helicopter ride is about 8 minutes each way. Remember to bring a sun hat and sunglasses as the sun is strong. Other gloves, pants, jackets, and shoes are available on-site, so you don't need to bring them. Walking around on the ice can also get hot. The guide said we were lucky to have an ice cave to take pictures in.

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!

Miután megérkeztünk a csillagnéző helyszínre, a személyzet minden tagnak fekvőfotelt biztosított, és kiosztott egy vastag takarót (a hőmérséklet csak néhány fok volt, nagyon hideg). Az első részben szabad szemmel néztük a csillagokat, miközben a személyzet egy csillagászati lézerpointerrel mutatott az égre, és magyarázta a csillagászati ismereteket. Miután szabad szemmel is megnéztük, csillagászati távcsővel 🔭 folytattuk a csillagnézést. Két távcső volt, a képeken láthatóak többnyire a kisebbikkel készültek (kicsi, de nagyon erős). Láttuk a Jupiter csíkjait, a Tejút csillagtengerét, a Hold gyengéd közeli felvételeit, valamint a Dél Keresztje körüli csillagokat és még sok mást. Annyira megható volt, hogy majdnem könnyek szöktek a szemembe. Élőben sokkal szebb volt, mint a képeken, mert úgy éreztem, hogy élnek, mozognak, ragyognak ⭐. A program során a személyzet minden résztvevőnek forró csokoládét is kínált, és mindenkiről készített egy emlékképet. Végül együtt ültünk a tűz körül, és mályvacukrot sütöttünk 🍡. Teljesen elégedetten fejeztem be a csillagnéző utamat ～🤗

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.

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
