What begins very calmly with a small rush transforms, arguably, into an experience filled with the wind, very beautiful forests beneath you, with the remarkable sight of Lake Wakatipu kind of in the not so far off distance. That view just gets more captivating as you zip further along, as I was saying, and that totally amps up the fun, really.

Line One: The Opener

The first line, you see, it’s a very great way to get the feeling for things, because it really introduces you very carefully to that sensation of flying. Arguably a good “ice-breaker” if you happen to be nervous. It’s not especially fast or too lengthy, or anything, that way, more or less allowing you that little chance to drink in the surroundings while just hanging from up there. So the initial view of the forest as you move along it is cool too, honestly.

These actually give just slightly better, pretty expanded perspectives of the mountain area, too it’s almost the area looks grand. So by this stage, honestly, most people, that does include I myself, actually feel relaxed and we are basically enjoying that freedom. So that feeling of gliding without actually needing to work too hard for it.
