Romantic Balloon Ride

Let the romance take off as you experience the most magical way to fly on this amazing airborne adventure. You'll enjoy unparalleled views of Canterbury's spectacular landscape as only a few have seen it as you float majestically across the sky in a graceful hot air balloon.

Soak up the scenery in the promise of early morning as the parks, rivers and buildings fade into the distance, making way for the patchwork farmland of the Canterbury Plains.

Enjoy the peaceful ambiance as you look out over the marvelous Garden city with the endless blue ocean to the east, and the snow-capped Southern Alps to the west, before landing in a farmer's field where you'll relax with a celebratory glass of chilled champagne.

Be prepared for an early start as part of the experience is helping prepare the balloon for flight.

Take off times range from as early as 5am in the spring and summer to as late as 7am in the winter. Regardless of the time, what a truly magnificent way to start the day!
