很讚！錢花得值得

坐直升機真的好讚！在台灣有什麼機會可以搭直升機嗎？一般民眾除了需要被救援才有可能吧😆真的以為自己在拍電影不可能的任務，駕駛員會沿路解說而且還會從兩座山中間飛穿過去超過癮，景色美不用說可以看俯瞰冰川，降落後可以玩雪，真的推薦。 但是如果預約早上時段的話，後面行程可能要安排鬆一點，我們原本是早上9:30但是山霧籠罩，被延到下午2:30，現場有人沒辦法延後的櫃檯也是爽快退款，服務給5顆星

很讚！錢花得值得 很讚！錢花得值得 很讚！錢花得值得

Awesome Experience

I took this trip with my family, and it was worth every penny. The location was easy to reach, and the staff was friendly. Getting an upgrade on the trip booked was the cherry on top. Highly recommended.
