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.

Superbe
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
