Fantastic View
Once up in the air, the view is spectacular. Had a bit of a rocky decent due to hitting a wind gust, The kids loved it. (I was a little scared seeing as I have a fear of heights.)

Unique and interesting
Our original booking was cancelled because of weather, but we were able to do it a couple of weeks later when we were back in Rotorua. A unique and fun addition to Rotorua's to-do list.

Such a novel activity.
I got a little nauseated but I'm pathetic when it comes to motion-sickness. The other 4 people were totally entranced and would happily do it again (even I probably would bear it again for the views!). The staff was amazingly helpful - on the day, and with the fact they had to cancel our original booking because of weather and they told us to just come back any time before we left the area and they'd fit us in.
