Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Mackenzie District

Pagdating sa lugar ng pagmamasid ng bituin, pinahiga ng mga staff ang bawat miyembro sa mga silya, at binigyan ng makapal na kumot (ilang digri lamang ang temperatura, napakalamig). Ang unang bahagi ay ang pagtingin gamit ang mata, habang itinuturo ng staff ang kalangitan gamit ang astronomical pointer, ipinapaliwanag nila sa amin ang kaalaman tungkol sa astronomiya. Pagkatapos naming tumingin gamit ang mata, gumamit kami ng teleskopyo para sa pagmamasid ng bituin 🔭. Mayroong dalawang teleskopyo, karamihan sa mga larawan ay kuha ng maliit (maliit, ngunit napakalakas). Nakita namin ang mga guhit ng Jupiter, dagat ng bituin sa Milky Way, malumanay na close-up ng buwan, at ang mga bituin sa paligid ng Southern Cross, atbp., talagang naantig ako hanggang gusto kong umiyak. Mas maganda ang tingnan sa personal kaysa sa mga larawan, dahil mararamdaman mo na may buhay sila, gumagalaw sila, namumukadkad ⭐ Sa proseso, nagbigay din ang staff ng isang tasang mainit na tsokolate sa bawat isa, at kinunan ng litrato ang bawat miyembro para maging souvenir, at sa huli ay sama-sama kaming nag-ihaw ng marshmallow sa paligid ng pugon 🍡, at masayang tinapos ang aking paglalakbay sa pagmamasid ng bituin~ 🤗

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

Napakacute at talagang nasiyahan ako. Hehe. Maaari kang direktang makipag-ugnayan sa mga tupa at baka sa tabi mo mismo~ Ngunit walang safety device o anumang katulad nito, kaya medyo mahihirapan ang mga sanggol ^^;

Isang napaka-espesyal na karanasan, ang helikopter ay tumatagal ng mga 8 minuto bawat biyahe, tandaan na magdala ng sombrero at salamin pang-araw dahil napakainit ng araw, ang iba pang mga guwantes, pantalon, jacket, at sapatos ay available sa lugar, hindi na kailangang magdala. Maglakad-lakad sa ibabaw ng yelo ay nakakapagpainit din, sabi ng tour guide, masuwerte raw kami dahil may ice cave kaming makukunan ng litrato.

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.

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.

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!

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!
