Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Mackenzie District

It was an amazing experience 🤩🏔️🚁 A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity~ highly recommend joining the glacier hike! Since it was cloudy and rainy on the first day, we changed our slot with the front desk to the next day, and we successfully got bright sunshine and fantastic weather 👍 After checking in, we were divided into groups and went into a small room where they explained important safety instructions for taking the helicopter, taught us how to put on crampons, and then we followed directions to board the chopper. Also, the sun is really intense~ remember to bring sunglasses and put on sunscreen ☀️ Our guide, Kobe, was lively and adorable 🥰 We took a lot of beautiful photos of the ice caves, totally worth it 🫶

Truly amazing! We used professional astronomical telescopes to see so many fascinating celestial bodies! We saw Venus, which has phases just like the moon; the stunning Tarantula Nebula, which is a birthplace of beautiful baby stars; the Wishing Well Cluster; the gorgeous, jewel-like 47 Tucanae cluster; and Saturn with its rings. It was just incredible! Despite the cold weather, there was hot cocoa and a roasted marshmallow activity! Plus, everyone gets a professional photo of the starry sky. Definitely worthy of a 5-star review!

Unang beses kong sumali sa isang stargazing tour at mas mura pa ito kaysa sa opisyal na website. Napakaganda rin ng serbisyo, hindi mo kailangang mag-alala kung hindi sapat ang init ng iyong damit dahil magbibigay sila ng one-piece down jacket. Mayroon silang apat o limang sukat! Ang tanging nakakalungkot ay puno ang buwan noong gabi ng aming paglahok, dahil ika-15 araw iyon ng unang buwan ng lunar calendar. Kaya may epekto ito sa stargazing, at medyo malayo sa inaasahan ko. Sa Dark Sky Project, ihahatid ka nila mula sa paanan ng bundok patungo sa observatory protection area, at pagkatapos ay may isang espesyalista na magpapaliwanag tungkol sa iba't ibang astronomical phenomena. Sa gitna ng pagpapaliwanag, tatanungin nila kung mayroon kayong mga katanungan tungkol sa astronomiya. Kung hindi ka masyadong pamilyar sa labindalawang planeta at ilang propesyonal na terminong Ingles sa astronomiya, maaaring medyo mahirap intindihin. Ngunit mayroon silang mas maagang Chinese session na maaaring salihan – at gagamitin nila ang napakalaking stargazing telescope sa loob ng observatory, na unang beses kong nakita at napakagaling at napakabihirang pagkakataon! Ngunit kung ang petsa ay malapit sa kabilugan ng buwan (tulad ng ika-15 araw ng lunar month), iminumungkahi kong huwag nang sumali, dahil maaaring medyo madismaya ka.

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.

We didn't end up seeing the stars because it was too cloudy. The person in charge was very helpful and rescheduled for us, but even on the new date, they said we wouldn't be able to see anything, so we didn't go. KLOOK quickly arranged a refund.

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!

Very special experience! The staffs are friendly and the instructions are clear. All passangers please get ready your waterproof shoes, the snow are thick.

The stargazing experience was beautifully organized and exceeded our expectations. Being surrounded by the peaceful night sky and seeing so many stars with our own eyes was simply breathtaking. The atmosphere was calm, magical, and incredibly relaxing — a wonderful escape from the busy city life.

The 45-minute guided tour at the Tekapo petting zoo is a fun and interactive experience, especially since entry includes one box of feed per person. The animals—including Merino sheep, alpacas, KuneKune pigs, and calves—are incredibly cute, friendly, and affectionate as you hand-feed them. Just make sure to listen carefully to the guide's instructions at the start for everyone's safety. The only downside is that the tour groups can get quite crowded, sometimes reaching up to 20 people at once.
