As the balloon gently ascends, you'll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of New Zealand's stunning landscapes below. Experience the tranquil silence of floating through the sky. Unlike other forms of aviation, hot air ballooning provides a serene and peaceful journey, with only the occasional whoosh of the burner breaking the silence. Upon landing, celebrate your adventure with a traditional champagne toast—a longstanding hot air ballooning tradition. Adventure Balloons NZ prides itself on providing exceptional service, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the entire journey. Their experienced pilots and ground crew are dedicated to making your flight a memorable and enjoyable experience.
Please wear steardy shoes and warm cloths as we do take off and land in paddocks. A camera is a must as the scenery is spectacular. Champaigne and orange juice after the flight.
