Up, Up and Away Hot Air Ballooning

Tour UP1 – 4 hrs (flying time approx. 1hr).

There is no other place in the world where it is possible to fly in a hot-air balloon from the centre of the city, in view of the sun rising out of the ocean towards snow-capped mountains. Depending on weather conditions, a pre-dawn pick-up from Christchurch takes you to the launch site where, as night turns into day and the sun rises, your adventure begins.

For a truly ‘out of this world’ experience, it’s got to be Balloon Adventures’ Up, Up, and Away! Experienced professionals take you over a patchwork of farmland with the Southern Alps dominating the horizon to the west and the ocean’s endless blue to the east. On landing, collect your flight certificate and celebrate with a glass of chilled sparkling wine. Transfers to and from Christchurch included.

Price from £90 per person
