Amazing time missed - Check weather conditions, especially if it's for a special occasion. Was canceled in the morning due weather but by lunchtime it turned out to be a good hot day. Watching others do the activity from a restaurant was disappointing for us. Maybe next time when we travel. Otherwise I believe it would have been spatula!! Dealing with the organizers was easy and getting a refund easy too.

Scammed - Was really excited booking this activity for me and my daughter as it's our birthday weekend (daughters 18th) came on to app followed all necessary steps made sure all information was correct names times costs proceeded to payment as it's still showing $97.00 pp totaling at $194 for us 2 tandem .. get to payment everything's correct click pay now . Check my bank account to makesure my was taken out only to notice that instead off the $194.00 that it should've costed they have taken $310.00 and now confirmation is saying us dollars .why would I pay $310.00 nzd for a activity that cost less if was booked directly through the website.. clearly I'm in taupo nz same destination as the parasailing is located why would I book in usd . Now because it's less than 24hours (booked around 11.30pm nzt on the 28/3/25) I can not get any refund, im due to head back home to wellington today , can't directly contact trip adviser as I no the currency was not set at usd when I went through them.. can't send message through the help center. I'm so mad ,sad, pissed off with myself as I'm always very cautious even using my visa bedut card incase get scammed which i feel I have been . Can anyone advise me off what I can do our ride is at 11am 29/3/25 . Because off this I have lost $100 and I work hard to make memories with my children and just to be taken advantage off . Very upset about this experience through trip adviser I will never use this company again as Noone is willing to help rectify the situation at hand
