Air Safaris Grand Traverse Part One

This is part one of our incredible flight over the Southern Alps in New Zealand. We took the Grand Traverse flight with Air Safaris out of Lake Tekapo and highly, highly recommend them. By not landing on a glacier you have more time to see more scenery and the views are absolutely spectacular.

Our pilot, Tom, was a consummate aviator of high skill and did a great job flying and narrating the trip. There was some turbulence (which is expected when you're flying around mountains in New Zealand) but he did a great job of telling us when to expect it and when it would be over. Remember that holding a videocamera still isn't easy and can make it look worse than it really was.
