남섬여행 중 최고의 투어

스캇이 정말 친절했고, 열정을 다해서 하이킹 프로그램을 이끌었습니다. 참여자들의 안전을 최우선으로 생각하는 것도 좋았습니다. 인생에서 빙하를 밟아보고 만져보고 트래킹해보고 사진도 많이 찍는 경험은 다신 없을 최고의 경험이었습니다. 무조건 하셔야 합니다.

추천할 만한 액티비티입니다.

헬리하이킹 같은 경우에 블로그에도 별로 후기가 없고, 한국인들이 즐겨찾는 액티비티는 아닌 것 같아서 고민이 됐었습니다. 그렇지만 막상 가보니 헬기 타고 가면서 보는 빙하의 모습도 멋졌고, 자연적으로 만들어졌다던 동굴 안도 너무 이뻤어요. 헬기는 6명 정원이나 투어는 12명이서 함께 진행했고, 빙하 위 걷기, 동굴탐험, 폭포 구경, 빙하수 마시기 등이 있었던 것 같습니다. 매우 안전하게 진행되었으며 저희 부모님도 무리 없이 따라가실 수 있을 정도로 어렵지 않았어요(저도 엄청 저질체력입니다ㅎㅎㅎ). 아, 그리고 신발은 빌려주는데 옷은 따로 빌려입는 분을 보지 못했고, 저 역시 등산바지가 아닌 레깅스를 입고 올라갔지만 불편하지 않았어요. 시간적 여유가 있으신 분이라면 저렴한 시간대에 맞춰서 체험해보시길 추천합니다.

마운틴쿡에서 꼭 해야할 액티비티

가격이 비싸나 그럴 가치가 있습니다. 공항 스태프와 핼리콥터 기장님이 친청해서 기분 좋았고 코스도 안전하고 즐거운 경험이었습니다. 강강추

Not with first attempt

Unfortunately can't rate the activity, because it was canceled. Then rebooked 2 days forward and then again canceled of bad weather. Really hope to come back and reach the Tasman Glacier and write how good was this adventure.
