Back in the 80s my sister lived in Christchurch and when my mother and aunt came to visit they drove to Queenstown and took a shortcut on some road that ended up being a one lane dirt road going up a mountain with a sheer drop off. I think my mother said she held her breath for an hour. NZ is so unbelievably beautiful.

Spectacular scenery on the plane and from the boat with all those waterfalls. Funny thing I was just looking at the photos about an hour ago and then I was catching up on your trip reports and saw the link in your Queenstown video and didn’t think twice and clicked on it.

A lovely video, Paul. While I’d be happy doing this flight in PT6 powered aircraft, I’d be very wary of a piston single ( less reliable) as there’s absolutely nowhere to go in the event of a forced landing. Also, check the winds before you go; in 56 years of flying I experienced the worst conditions ever on this route, simply unbelievable turbulence, with the day’s flying cancelled after we returned. Thank goodness going was my wife’s idea as otherwise I’d never have heard the end of it. It took her a long time to trust aeroplanes after this. The aircraft was a BN-2 Islander, oddly the very same one that crashed near Hobart earlier in the year...
