Things to do in Aoraki / Mount Cook

unfortunately got cancelled due to weather. they will inform you an hour before and can get refunded full but sad

Beth, the driver and tour guide, was very kind and friendly. She gave detailed introductions along the way and also allowed everyone to take breaks and use the restroom. The 16-seater Mercedes-Benz was also very comfortable. The Mount Cook Trail is ten kilometers round trip and takes about three hours to hike. The scenery is beautiful and the trail is gentle. The only pity was that other passengers in the same car did not come back on time, which caused a delay in the return trip. The ice cream shop was closed, but I still pressed the line to buy alpine salmon. It was delicious and I would buy it if I had the chance.

Although it is not possible to take a snow plane due to weather problems, the experience of helicopter landing on the glacier is also worth it, because there is no need to climb the snow, no need to change equipment, it is easy and simple, and there will be a detailed explanation in English before the activity. If you don’t understand English, there are easy Picture explanation: When we were in the snow, we couldn’t see the rocks because we were intertwined with each other, so our feet were slightly bruised when we stepped on them. Please be careful when walking in the snow.

Excellent! Awesome experience! Would strongly recommend to others. My family enjoyed it very much. Worth the money spent.

To participate in this event in the summer of New Zealand, stores should provide warm down jackets, windproof jackets, waterproof pants, wool socks, waterproof shoes, and ice grips. Basically, you can wear them normally. If you are afraid of the cold, it is recommended to bring a fur hat, gloves, and pants. You can wear a thermal layer or layer underneath. The helicopter can accommodate up to 6 passengers, and they will be weighed before departure. Those who are thin and light can sit in the co-pilot. If you have never been in a helicopter or worn crampons, it is worth experiencing. The weather is very bad, so it is recommended to reserve at least 2 days to have a chance. If you need to reschedule due to weather, you can go directly to the airport counter to change the time.

I am very lucky to be able to participate in the entire trip. It really depends on luck and character. You must experience it once in your life.

It's great, you can walk on the ice under the guidance of a professional guide, visit the ice cave and ice lake, and get beautiful photos of ice and snow...

We originally booked helicopters and snow planes to land on snow-capped mountains and glaciers, but due to bad weather, only helicopters could land on snow-capped mountains. However, klook quickly reimbursed the price difference and provided good service. Helicopter to the snow-capped mountains is an unforgettable experience. You can see the snow-capped mountains and the surrounding beautiful scenery from high altitude. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is worth the price. It is a must-do in New Zealand.
