You did really good. Only one thing was not clear because of which I'm not rating 5 out of 5. The French young couple had said they booked only for 20 minutes, we had booked for 30 mins and the senior couple had booked for 40 mins. But all 3 couples were flown together. It was a total of close to 35 mins from take off to return landing. Not sure why the 20 mins couple got a chance to enjoy 35 mins at a price paid only for 20 mins. We could have also got that price advantage had we known that we can experience more than 30 mins by paying for just 20 mins. I'm telling all my friends now to book only for 20 mins ride as that is advantageous.

A once in a lifetime mazing experience! Great pilot! Took heaps of photos and video. I'm usually a bit nervous with flying/heights but the scenery just blew me away.
