Nicest crew, thrilling, cultural experience.

The coolest crew, made the best of the very drippy day and taught us a lot about local culture.

Thank you for your review & riding with us speeding & spinning over Matariki. We too think Mike is fantastic - we wont tell him that though as it will only make him tell more of his cringeworthy jokes lol. We would love to see you again one day soon :)
