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.
Thanks for taking the time to review. It was a pleasure to fly you on such a great morning. Michael Pilot Ballooning Canterbury
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!
An absolutely amazing experience. Truly magical!!!! Thanks so much to Mike & Dean. 100% would recommend to anyone.
My third balloon ride with this company was as spectacular as the first two. Nature displays different colours daily so it's always a new adventure!
No better way to celebrate a triple birthday than a third ride with Ballooning Canterbury on a gorgeous frosty morning!
