Mackenzie District Tururi

După ce am ajuns la punctul de observare a stelelor, personalul a rugat pe fiecare membru să se întindă pe un șezlong și ne-a dat o pătură groasă (temperatura era de doar câteva grade, foarte frig). Prima parte a fost să privim cu ochiul liber, iar personalul, în timp ce arăta spre cer cu un indicator astronomic cu laser, ne explica cunoștințe de astronomie. După ce am privit cu ochiul liber, am folosit telescoape astronomice 🔭 pentru a observa stelele. Erau două telescoape, iar majoritatea imaginilor din fotografii au fost făcute cu cel mic (mic, dar foarte puternic). Am văzut dungile lui Jupiter, marea de stele a Căii Lactee, un prim-plan delicat al Lunii și punctele de stele din jurul Crucii Sudului, printre altele, și am fost cu adevărat emoționat până la lacrimi. Să le vezi pe viu este de nenumărate ori mai frumos decât în fotografii, pentru că simți că sunt vii, că se mișcă, că înfloresc ⭐ Pe parcurs, personalul ne-a oferit fiecăruia o cană de ciocolată caldă și a făcut fotografii fiecărui membru, iar la final ne-am adunat în jurul unui foc de tabără pentru a prăji bezele 🍡. Am încheiat călătoria mea de observare a stelelor pe deplin mulțumit ~ 🤗

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!

Recomand cu căldură tuturor. Întregul zbor a fost distractiv, iar peisajul este uimitor de la început până la sfârșit. Felicitări căpitanului Nigel pentru zborul extrem de lin, sunteți un pilot extraordinar. De asemenea, întregului echipaj de la The Helicopter Line pentru serviciile excelente. Voi reveni.

Experiența de a vedea ghețarii Fox, Franz Josef și Tasman, precum și peisajele Muntelui Cook și ale Alpilor de Sud, a fost inițial planificată cu aterizare pe zăpadă cu elicopterul. Din cauza condițiilor meteorologice de la locul de aterizare, acest lucru nu a fost posibil, așa că am optat pentru un zbor cu un avion mic. Peisajul a fost atât de frumos încât recomand cu tărie această experiență. Zborul sigur și explicațiile detaliate despre teren și peisaj au fost punctul culminant. Copilului i-a plăcut foarte mult.

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!

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!

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