Mackenzie District Passeios

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.

A experiência de ver o Monte Cook e os Alpes do Sul, as geleiras Fox, Franz Josef e Tasman, era para ser um passeio de helicóptero com pouso na neve. No entanto, devido às condições climáticas no local de pouso, isso não foi possível, e a experiência alternativa foi um passeio de avião leve. A paisagem era tão incrivelmente bonita que eu recomendo fortemente que todos façam isso pelo menos uma vez. O voo seguro e as explicações detalhadas sobre a paisagem e a geografia foram o ponto alto. Meu filho também adorou.

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 :)

Ao chegarmos ao ponto de observação de estrelas, a equipe pediu que cada membro se deitasse em uma espreguiçadeira e distribuiu um cobertor grosso (a temperatura era de apenas alguns graus, muito frio). A primeira parte foi observar a olho nu, enquanto a equipe apontava para o céu com uma caneta laser astronômica e nos explicava conhecimentos de astronomia. Depois de observar a olho nu, usamos telescópios astronômicos 🔭 para observar as estrelas. Havia dois telescópios, e a maioria das fotos foi tirada com o menor (pequeno, mas muito poderoso). Vimos as listras de Júpiter, o mar de estrelas da Via Láctea, um close suave da lua e as estrelas ao redor do Cruzeiro do Sul, entre outros, e ficamos tão emocionados que quase choramos. Ver ao vivo é infinitamente mais bonito do que nas fotos, porque você sente que eles têm vida, que estão se movendo, florescendo ⭐ Durante o processo, a equipe também ofereceu a cada pessoa uma xícara de chocolate quente, tirou fotos de cada membro para recordação e, finalmente, todos se reuniram ao redor da fogueira para assar marshmallows 🍡. Terminei minha viagem de observação de estrelas completamente satisfeito ～🤗

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

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!
