Description

Passengers meet in the morning at our base at 2136 Bealey Road Hororata. Just 35 min from Christchurch airport and 45 minutes from central Christchurch. Passengers are then transported to the best launch site for that day's weather.
Flights are made at sunrise across the beautiful Canterbury Plains with stunning views from the Pacific Ocean to the snow-covered Southern Alps. Your pilot will get you to assist with inflating balloon and guide you through what to expect on your breathtaking flight. Your 1-hour balloon ride provides endless opportunity for photos and your highly experienced pilot will point out and comment on the landscape passing below. Inflight photos are taken and provided free to all passengers. After your flight you are treated to champagne or fruit juice and a light snack in the paddock where you land. For more information you can view us at Ballooning Canterbury.
