"Just a quick note to thank you for an awesome trip last Wednesday night to Jurrasic Falls. Hayden gave us a fantastic, adrenalin filled trip that left our 2 boys yelling in excitement and wanting to go again. It was better than I had anticipated and was a lot more than just a scenic flight. Chris was excellant in our phone calls prior to the flight and nothing was too much trouble, Your team arranged at very short notice to bring the flight forward a day because the weather was doubtful on the day planned.

Thank you for a memorable evening that we will tell everyone about."

Regards
Aaron & Kerry Warner, New Plymouth


"I just wanted to let you know that the ride Garth took us on up to Jurassic falls was out of this world, we were just blown away by the whole experience. I have been telling everyone at work about it and all the neighbours so I am sure you will get more enquiries in the near future. My mum and dad had never experienced anything like it, what a cool 81st birthday present.

Please thank Garth for me, he went out of his way to be kind and accommodating. He made us laugh and we felt very safe."

Warm regards
C. Bernasconi, New Plymouth


"Thanks for the wonderful day, was greatly enjoyed by all."
Linda Dwyer, Lower Hutt
