Coronet Peak Tandem Paragliding and Hang gliding
the hang gliding itself was awesome - I would give that a 11 out of 10.
the guy that took us there was not very social or especially friendly - just average.The pilots were all foreign but that was no problem.
The reason I substract a couple of points is because we had to wait quite some time for the others in the group to take their jump first, and because it felt like the owner (our driver) was only interested to take our money.
all in all still an unforgettable experience!
Hi Helga!
Many thanks for taking the time to review us on Rankers.
I am pleased to hear you had a good time hang gliding.
In regards to your points you made, why you deducted some points: The duration of the experience depends on the number of passengers that come on a trip. Also a factor in all this plays the weather. Sometimes the conditions on take off prompt us to wait a little for the right wind on take off. One of our priorities is to make sure that everyone is safe and therefore waiting a little for the perfect wind is important. You would have been able to wait at the little café at the landing site, which does awesome coffees.
Our drivers on duty are also managing the day to day operation, which can be hectic and stressful, especially on a busy summer's day. I am sorry if the driver on your trip was not very social. Noting that you reviewed us during our busiest time of the year, summer, I am guessing that it was a very busy flying day with lots to do for the ops manager. Please accept our apologies. I am sure he did not mean to make you feel that way.
Regards, Gitti Tapper

the TumuTumu toobing tour was good fun and combines caving , blackwater rafting and glow worm sighting.
Our guide was excellent.

try dive tatapouri's rockslide activity, it's loads of fun and a bit scary too.

Akaroa Farm Tours
without a doubt one of the best things we've done in NZ.
I've done this tour twice in the course of 5 years because I enjoyed it thoroughly the 1st time, and the second time was brilliant too. So much more than the classical sheep shearing experience - the lovely farmer couple take the time to talk in depth about their family's history and life on the farm. Yummie scones, too :) A 5 star activity.

Franz Josef Glacier Guides
a nice tour but way too crowded on the glacier - we took a full day tour but could have easily done the 'hike' in a half day had we not been obliged to wait for other groups to pass, use the ice
stairs etc.
Material provided is excellent and so are the guides.
