Mount Cook Airport

Absolutely awesome experience to do a helicopter ride up on the glacier
Mar 29th, 2023

(Translated by Google) Finally flew smoothly! ! ! This trip is really worth it, the Tasman Glacier and the Mount Cook snow mountain are really beautiful and beautiful (infinite loop ). After the helicopter took off from the airport, it flew over Mount Cook, so close to the snow mountain wall! And the climb was so fast, it was a bit unexpected. When I walked on the trail, the mountain edge that seemed to be difficult to reach was actually close in front of me. To the very high glacier, after flying here for a while, landed on the snowfield of the largest glacier in New Zealand: Tasman Glacier (Tasman Glacier). The snow on the landing side is soft, and it will sink when you step on it, so before boarding the plane, in addition to checking whether there are floating things (such as scarves and small bags are prohibited) and whether you are wearing sunglasses, you will also check Whether the shoes fit well. We stayed here for about 20 minutes to take pictures. There were only seven of us on the super big snowfield. It was so extravagant. Everyone was running wildly on the snow, or lying on the snow. Anyway, it was so beautiful~~~ Helicopter flying is really like floating in the air. Fortunately, I dont think its bumpy. Ive been mentally prepared that it might be a little wobbly when I chatted the day before yesterday, because the weather is fine today, and the ground staff said its super suitable for flying. Steady, but when sitting next to the driver, it feels like he is not controlling anything We booked a 30-minute flight, and we need to arrive at Mount Cook Airport 30 minutes earlier. After checking in, we need to watch a safety film, and then the driver allocates seats. There are six seats in total, two in the front and four in the back. It seems to be based on weight Assignment~ So I sat in the front on the way out, and sat in the back with Jiangmao on the way back. Although it is said to be 30 minutes, it took an hour and a half before and after, and the flight and landing took about an hour. I dont know if the driving is very good for us and let us play for a long time The scenery on the return trip is completely different from what I saw when I came here, so it would be nice if I could book two trips (?!), but it seems that there are not many flights a day. We stopped flying due to bad weather in Queenstown, so we booked the helicopter for the next trip to Mount Cook at night. If you want to fly, you can try to book as early as possible, because this is very bad weather, if the driving judgment is not good Flying, you can also have the opportunity to book a later time. I am so happy that I took off smoothly today, what a beautiful memory~~~~ (Original) Tasman GlacierMount Cook (Tasman Glacier) 20 3030Mount Cook Airportcheck in301 Mount Cook
