See the sun rise over the Canterbury Plains on an early-morning hot-air balloon flight from Christchurch. The sensation of floating over the patchwork farmland at dawn is something you'll never forget, whether you're a visitor or a local - and the views you'll capture with your camera are sensational.

After taking off in your hot-air balloon, the parks, rivers and buildings of Christchurch fade into the distance, making way for the Canterbury Plains, the Southern Alps to the west and the endless blue ocean to the east.

Ballooning is a terrific activity for families with children over the age of five to have an adventure together, in a safe environment. Taking off at sunrise allows you to enjoy the beginning of your day in an original and memorable way, leaving plenty of time for the remainder of your busy itinerary.
