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.

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.
