Best day EVER!

4 of us were parasailing 3 of us and a dog waiting for them. So glad we went along to watch! These guys made it just as much fun to to stay behind. Got the dog and myself on the boat to go out with the kids whe were parasailing. The kindest, happiest bunch of souls ever! Highly recommend these folks. They were just lovely!

Fantastic Experience

Absolutely stunning view and experience. We had walked up Mpunt Tauhara the day before so it was extra special to look across and see the scenery. The whole team helped us feel relaxed and confident. We totally recommend getting the photo package. Loads of stunning photos of a memorable experience. Dipping your feet in the water is also a must. Zooming around in the boat while the next group had their turn was so much fun too.
