5.00The flight was amazing. Great commentary about the scenery and history of the area. No snow but it didn’t matter. As a Lord of the Rings fan it was great to have pointed out the locations of filming. Such a great and unique thing to do. Highly recommend.
Amazing to go on even if you're afraid of heights

5.00Absolutely stunning. Great team, friendly and professional. The pilot was hilarious and really pleasant with some pretty cool historical facts about the area. I'm actually scared of heights but he made it comfortable so I didn't pay attention to how high we were and just enjoyed the views. The ladies behind the desks were also great aswell. Highly recommend!!

5.00Out of all tours this one i looked forward to the most, even more so because it was my birthday & a once in a lifetime experience with my husband and our 3 son's. And it was unreal. Thankyou to the team who were absolutely awesome, especially to our pilot Steven who was absolutely fantastic very courteous and knowledgeable. I very much appreciated the myth & legend story of the Taniwha and how Lake Wakaripu became the great lake it is now. If your thinking of booking this experience, Book it!
