Your flight will take off close to the foothills of Mt. Hutt, where the mountains provide excellent shelter from the North Westerly winds. Experience fantastic views across the Southern Alps as far away as Mt. Cook and Mt. Aspiring with unlimited airspace restrictions up to 9,500ft! Along the way, enjoy the Eastern views as well patchwork landscape of the plains to the Pacific Coast!
After take-off you’ll climb to an altitude perfect for awesome panoramic views across the mountains, after you’ve had time to capture the views, you’ll descend to a lower altitude for the second half of the flight to enjoy a different aspect by flying closer to the ground.
Upon landing, enjoy a celebratory drink in the landing field before travelling back to Methven in the chase vehicle, which will have been following the balloon throughout the flight.
Methven is a winter ski town, with an abundance of attractions including mountain walks and the Lord of the Rings site at Mt. Sunday! For your scenic flight, you’ll be transported from the meeting point in Methven to the launch site - the meeting point has ample parking and toilets.
Experience an extraordinary scenic flight from the foothills of Mt. Hutt, exploring the incredible Canterbury Plains!

Fantastic experience
Hot air ballooning was a great way to showcase the beauty of Canterbury plains and the surrounding mountains to my parents. The pilot was amazing, highly knowledgeable and full of humour. I highly recommend them!

...걱정됩니다.
시작부터 30분 시작시간 늦춰진거 연락안와서 밖에서 생고생 아침이라 얼어 죽을뻔. 만나서 열기구 탑승하고 점차 올라가니 뷰도 좋고 날도 좋고 너무좋음. 조종수 분이 어르신이였는데 높이 올라가더니 쓰러지심. 너무 당황해서 앉게하고 쉬게 하니 좀 나아지셨는지 다시 괜찮다고 하시는데 속으로 욕밖에 안나옴. 분위기 조지고 바로 착륙하자했는데 착륙포인트까지 가야해서 어쩔수 없이 탐. 다른 승객 걱정되서 남김니다.

Wir haben ein wenig später angefangen aufgrund des Wetters. Kommunikation hat immer gestimmt, die Veranstalter hatten einen guten Humor und es hat sich nicht angefühlt wie Host und Customer sondern wie eine Team Aktivität. Man nimmt richtig Teil am aufbauen und abbauen und das Gefühl dann endlich abzuheben und diesen fantastischen Ausblick zu haben ist unbezahlbar!!! Ich empfehle es jeden, der nach einem neuen Nervenkitzel sucht und die Ruhe und friedliche eines entspannten Ausblicks während des Fluges Wertschätzt. It’s definitely worth it!!!
