Incroyable

J'ai choisi un peu au dernier moment et spontanément Franz Josef pour effectuer mon premier saut en parachute ! C'était incroyable, j'ai eu le sourire jusqu'au oreilles tout le long. Je suis ravie de mon choix car les vues étaient à couper le souffle pendant le vol et la descente : l'océan, la vallée, les glaciers et Mont Cook + Tasman. Mon moniteur a été vraiment au top, j'étais en confiance et il était très sympathique. La chute libre est saisissante, et assez longue pour en profiter.

Un saut de dingue !

Le saut de 19000pieds à cet endroit est extraordinaire. La grande chute libre vous laisse le temps de contempler d'un côté l'océan à perte de vue et de l'autre les montagnes enneigées avec le Mont Cook et le glacier Franz Josef. La partie en parachute est génial, Tracy mon instructrice très rassurante, m'a laissé manoeuvrer et virevolter dans les airs ! Sans compter que pendant le vol on a vraiment le temps de contempler les paysages grandioses qui s'offre à nous bref je recommande à 200% ? !
