Thanks for taking the time to review. It was a pleasure to fly you on such a great morning. Michael Pilot Ballooning Canterbury

**An Unforgettable Hot Air Balloon Adventure!**
From start to finish, this was an absolutely amazing experience! The opportunity to be involved in setting up the balloon made it even more immersive, adding to the excitement of watching it come to life before taking off. Once in the air, the ride was nothing short of magical—calm, peaceful, and breathtakingly beautiful. Hearing about the rich history of the lands below while floating effortlessly above them created a unique and enriching perspective. Unlike adrenaline-fueled activities, this experience is wonderfully serene, making it perfect even for those who might be wary of heights. The landing was smooth, and being part of the pack-up process added an extra layer of connection to the journey. A few tips: dress warmly—a puffer jacket, gloves, and a beanie will be your best friends, especially in the cooler air up high. Another fantastic touch was the photography—throughout the trip, they captured incredible shots using our own cameras, ensuring we had lasting memories of this phenomenal adventure. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something truly special!

Wow Hannah what a great detailed review. We are so pleased you felt the magic of ballooning. We are very passionate about what we do and it really shows in your review. Thank you. Michael

Exellent adventure
What an adventure to experience! From start to finish, safety was thoroughly explained, making us feel confident that every detail had been carefully considered. Once in the air, the views were clearly pointed out, and plenty of photos were taken to help capture the incredible height and scenery. Even if you have a fear of heights, it won't be triggered by this adventure. The basket makes you feel completely safe and secure. This adventure is highly recommended!
