Our Story
Ballooning Canterbury - Hot Air Balloon Rides
Hot air ballooning is a magical experience and a flight with Ballooning Canterbury offers panoramic views across the fertile Canterbury Plains to the Southern Alps. • Courtesy transfers to and from most Christchurch Hotels for visitors to Christchurch. • An early start: Ballooning is best at sunrise, when the weather is calmest and to make the most of the beautiful morning light. • Allow approximately 4 -5 hours for this remarkable experience; The actual flying time is approximately one hour. • It is a hands-on experience. Passengers are actively encouraged to help the pilot and crew with the pre-flight inflation and packing up at the conclusion of the flight. • Spectacular views and fantastic photo opportunities. • A glass of chilled champagne or fruit juice and a light snack after landing.
We are a family owned business. This is Michael with son Nicholas who are our two very experienced pilots. Michael and Nicholas are both past NZ Balloon and Gliding Champions with thousands of hour flying between them.
