Excellente expérience

De passage à Queenstown avec 3 amis, nous avons tenté l'expérience du jetboat et nous en sommes tous ressortis ravi avec de superbes souvenirs. Le guide a été excellent tant à la conduite qu'aux explications qu'il a pu donner tout au long du trajet et nous avons pu voir de magnifiques paysages tout en s'amusant. Merci pour cette heure de kiff.
