It's so much fun! Even my friend who's afraid of heights said it's definitely worth signing up for the 15,000-foot course! The instructors are all very nice, but whether you see videos depends on the individual 😂
The drive from Queenstown is a bit long, so not driving was a wise choice. The scenery along the way was beautiful, the views from the boat were magnificent, and we even saw a rainbow. We stopped to see Kea on both the outbound and return journeys, and the tour guide was very friendly!
