Fantastique

Merci à Joanna et Georges qui ont été disponibles pour changer notre vol d’un jour à cause de la mauvaise météo. Georges est un pilote passioné et la vue au dessus de White Island est incroyable. Souvenir inoubliable!

Annulé...

Déception, après une semaine d'attente et d'espoir jusqu'à la dernière minute, vol annulé car aucune autre réservation. C'était mon cadeau d'anniversaire et une des raisons majeures pour lesquelles je suis venu en NZ.

Avec beau temps c'est une très belle expérience, ce volcan fumant en pleine mer vaut le voyage . De plus le pilote Georges est très agréable
