Grandioser Rundflug

Wir haben die Grand Traverse ab Lake Tekapo gebucht. Tom war ein sehr erfahrener Pilot, der alles ausführlich kommentiert hat. Wir hatten super Wetter und kaum Wolken, so dass wir die Gletscher, Seen und Mount Cook aus nächster Nähe sehen könnten. Wir wurden auf eine andere Uhrzeit umgebucht, was aber für uns kein Problem. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.

Unglaublich!

Ein super nettes Team, wir wurden sogar angerufen und gefragt, ob wir lieber an einem anderen Tag als dem vorhergesehenen fliegen möchten, da an dem Tag schlechtes Wetter vorausgesagt war! Der Flug war ein Traum!

Grandioses Erlebnis

Neuseeländische Alpen ohne diesen Flug: Es hätte Definitiv etwas gefehlt! Das Flugzeug kurvte von äußerst kompetenter Hand gesteuert um den Mt Cook und über die Gletscher, sensationell! Airsafari als Unternehmen in jeder Hinsicht absolut zu empfehlen.
