A fantastic experience by a skilled pilot, who knew the landscape around to assist with any queries we had. Go to Christchurch, put money in the economy and enjoy the ride - a real bucket list opportunity.

After a false start with some terrible rain and we were rescheduled for the next day. A very early start and very exciting in the dark. Getting the balloon ready was fascinating and the pilot great. He was really informative and a lot fun.
Once up it was brilliant and the highlight of our trip. Despite usually suffering a bit of vertigo I was in heaven. Loved it. Great views and the sunrise special. We had an exciting trip and our first landing on a slope was loads of fun. Our second was more successful and really interesting. We helped to deflate the balloon and pack it away before heading back. It was the trip highlight.

A bit of an early start but a pleasant way to get a panoramic view of Christchurch's plains.
