DAY 4: Spectacular, Spectacular | Activity 1: Planes, Trains and Automobiles [4 points]

Arguably, one of the most dramatic and spectacular (beautiful) places to visit in New Zealand is Milford Sound. It has been referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ It is a beautiful fiord (steep valley) that was formed when big pieces of ice (glaciers) melted. The melted glaciers created a beautiful river that is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped mountains. People who visit Milford Sound are able to take a boat cruise through the middle of the fiord, walk around the area on the Milford Track or fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour. Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer? I would choose to fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour. I chose to have an helicopter tour is because you can see almost everything up top in the sky for example, like the top of the mountains and more. I would also have an helicopter tour is to see the ice on the top of the mountains.

  1. Hey Fau,

    What a great choice you have made! Have you even been on a helicopter before? I've never been in a one before but I imagine it would be a magical experience to be able to see the view from above, I agree with you! We would then be able to see what the birds see everyday, how lucky are they? Helicopters rides definitely are a rare experience so it would be very wise to take the opportunity to go in one if the chance arises, yes! I would choose the same option as you.

    Keep up the terrific work,
    Evelyn :)

  2. Hello Fau! I find it interesting you chose the Helicopter as your transportation. I agree the view would be amazing from above but there is only such space in the helicopter and I'd get sick very quickly. Is there any specific reason you didn't choose the others? Keep it up!
