We lived in Fox Town that day, the town was not big, walked for 6 minutes and drove for 2 minutes. Helicopter reports have large parking lots everywhere, convenient, half an hour in advance, staff safety explanation, and then drive to the helicopter airport, about 10 minutes drive, convenient and fast

A thousand-layer pancake rock, a simple and intuitive name, a unique West Coast attraction. The scenery is spectacular. A huge rock shaped like a thousand-layer pancake protrudes from the cliffs into the sea, or a column of sky, or connected into one piece, magnificent. Stop and watch ~ sea breezes, waves, birds singing; move and change scenery ~ ghostly work, colorful, for the beauty and strength of nature. The facilities are comprehensive. The trails, observation decks and logos of the scenic spots are set very scientifically and comprehensively. After entering the scenic spot, follow the trail and circle clockwise, you can fully view the entire scenic spot without taking any wrong roads; standing on the observation deck, the most spectacular scenery is in front of you, unobstructed; follow the guidance of the signboard, both to increase knowledge and to take reminiscent photos. Convenient transportation. From Greymouth, the car is 45 minutes north along the road, and it is very convenient to park at the gate of the scenic spot on the side of the road. Many tourists regard her as the first stop of the South Island counterclockwise roundabout tour.

Without a photo with the floating wood decoration "HOKITIKA", it is equivalent to not been to Hokitika, not to the west coast of the South Island. The Hokitika tourism brochure compiled by the New Zealand Tourism Bureau, the home page picture is the sunset accompanied by the photo of "HOKIDIKA". A 3-minute walk west from the town's bell tower, through a small gateway, Hokitika Beach is in front of you, the whirring sea breeze, the waves, slapping the black stone beach. The floating wood decoration and the stone green sofa not far from the beach are the most eye-catching objects, tourists often consciously queued to punch in. The preference of small town residents for floating wood "HOKIDIKA" is almost persistent, whenever the wind destroys the decoration of the local or even all, no more than 24 hours, must be renovated with floating wood dead branches available on the beach.

If you don't mind the price, it is ideal to take a helicopter to overlook the glacier. A plane for 6 people, reflecting the generosity of nature everywhere, God's gift, the scenery is really unimaginable. Although it is cold, everything is very worthwhile! I'm sure I'll be there soon to hear that the glacier may no longer exist in a few years!

The main road between Christchurch and Greymouth on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island attracts many tourists to this tour. The snowy mountains, the flowing waterfalls, the clear lakes, the magnificent glaciers, especially the diversified mountaineering trails and meticulous travel services, have been favored by many mountaineers. For most tourists traveling around the South Island, if Christchurch is the starting point, you can take Arthur Pass as the first stop and appetizer; if Christchurch is the end point, you must have been visually tired to see Arthur Pass.

New Zealand's South Island is rich in glacier resources, and many places such as Mount Cook and the Mifo Fjord area have a number of small airports to carry out helicopter sightseeing projects. According to the tour guide, New Zealand is one of the few countries that allows helicopters to land on the glacier, and as the climate warms, it is not known whether it will be restricted in the future, and the project is also very susceptible to the weather. Even if the sun is shining under the mountain, the climatic conditions on the mountain will not be allowed to stop. So please cherish and enjoy the pleasure of participating. There is indeed an indescribable beauty overlooking the glacier, and many people will shout excitedly at the moment they step on the ice sheet, completely forgetting that it is not cheap to charge. Although the stay on the glacier is not long, the wind generated by the helicopter rotor is quite strong, and the ice on the ground is not snow, so please do a good job of warm and non-slip measures before departure.
