Aoraki Balloon Safaris has up to a 4 hour adventure which includes up to a 1 hour flight and concludes with a light champagne-style buffet breakfast out in the farmer's field once landed.
Aoraki Balloon flights operate all year round, weather dependant. Day-break is the best time to fly, with conditions clear, cool, calm and stable; perfect for a gentle drift out over the patchwork plains towards the snow capped Southern Alps so unique to Canterbury.
On a fine day, expect to see a full 300km panorama with views of Mt Cook and the national park mountains and the Rakaia River (one of the world’s finest examples of a braided river system).
So let our experienced pilots and ground crew take care of you on a fantastic skyward adventure. We are passionate about both hot air ballooning and the central Canterbury region and we look forward to sharing our knowledge and time with you for a personal experience you will never forget.
All passengers contacted the night before with the possibilities of flight for the next day and where and when to meet in the morning.
