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!

Amazing experience! Beautiful morning to go with fantastic views. Graeme and Sam were just great and easy to get along with. Setting up was fun and exciting also with the packing up afterwards all topped off with a glass of bubbly and morning tea!! Thanks guys we had a blast

Absolutely amazing experience! Graeme and Sam were such a great team to help tick this off our bucket list! We had confidence in their flying ability and thoroughly enjoyed being involved in the process of inflating and deflating the balloon. Such a beautiful spot for this incredible activity and would highly recommend this flight.

Just brilliant . Helping setup, seeing how it's done and then whizzing up into the Canterbury skies to amazing altitudes and then catching the wind and learning about balloon flight all the way looking and marvelling at the view and serenity. Then landing wherever and ending the morning. Just buzzing....

A top day. Good sunny weather, with some cloud. Start in Methven heading south. Floating along under the clouds, then through the clouds, to above the clouds. 260 degree views simple gob-smacking outstanding. Coast to mountain ranges with snow on top. Owner / pilot Graeme Church very professional and great talking to, and full of information. Bucket list item ticked 10 out of 10. Would definitely do again. Wonderful. Cheers Graeme.

Greame and Sam were wonderful right from preparing for take off till the final muffin celebration 🍾 A must in lifetime. Lovely views and scenic trip.

Really worth the drive from Pegasus. Will definitely be coming back.

Great experience. Great atmosphere. Great staff! Would 100% recommend!

I had a fantastic time with my family. Awesome place and amazing facilities. I am sure would back again soon.

Beautiful vistas from the pools. Lovely experience (& very nice soup in the cafe).

I loved it. Can't wait to come back with the girls 😉

It was such a wonderful experience- even better than expected! Unlike any plane the hot air balloon enables you to rise and fly in silence. You will gradually rise up to be almost as high as the snowy mountains ,with the fresh air, the breeze, and the non-stop picturesque scene when you overlook the beautiful Canterbury plain. It’s not cold at all with a 30m tall ballon full of hot air above you, a puff jacket will be enough. Everyone will have some hands on experience helping to set up/fold the balloon. High recommend & will remember this experience forever.

It’s really an enjoyable experience to join this Lord of Ring trip. Being picked up from our apartment, we started our journey. The young guide we had is very passionate in his job. He gave us an extra stop to see the beautiful Windwhistle. We are very lucky to have had a sunny day. Along the way, the view are stunning. Green grass with the snow mountain at the far back, surrounded by the shining river. The Sunday Mountain is certainly a highlight of the trip. This is the place that you cannot drive in by yourself. There，you just have a feeling as if you are in the movie. Highly recommend !

Amazing trip. Bit of everything from thrilling turns, spins, skimming close to cliffs adrenaline pumping stuff to informative information plus amazing scenery for picture taking. Much better than the Queenstown one I experienced in the past. Well worth a detour and nice drive there. Thanks again 👌👍

Absolutely loved it- would definitely go again. Felt very safe 🙏

Very good and fun day out on the boat some of the best views of the mid Canterbury

We had an amazing ride! Lots of stunning scenery and so many different types - wild bush, grazing land, soaring rock cliffs, mountains, snow..... just amazing! Blair gave us an incredible journey - fast and fun with stops for photos. Had an absolute ball and it was a much better journey than some from further south. Totally recommend for families too.

Young children shouldn't be put in front seat as they can't see where they're going. 6yr old was very disappointed with only being able to see out the sides of the boat.

Good experience I absolutely loved the mountain views honestly breathe taking probably the best and seeing the trees nearly falling of the edge that was even amazing to see under its roots. Nice to meet you mate and your son and doggie 🤙🏼😊

Family of four (two kids under ten) all really enjoyed the experience. Good informative stops along the way and some thrilling spins among a spectacular scenery. Would recommend ear muffs for younger children. We stayed dry :)

Truely incredible scenery and the ride exceeded our expectation. Highly recommend

Great scenery and knowledgeable skipper who has great driving skills.

Please do this experience as you will not be left disappointed but please book this trip via website instead! Blair is an amazing host whom made us feel welcome and incredibly entertained!

Kids and parents loved it! Took our 5 and 7 year old girls and they loved it! Perfect activity and tour. Really enjoyed spending this money with a local company. Well worth it!

Enjoyed the 30 min ride a lot. Spins, close to the cliffs, some historical stops, great photo stops. Definitely worth the money and a good deal on bookme

It was really great golf round with family. Highly recommend~! I’ve never been golf courses with a fantastic view like this.

What a fantastic weekend, we went with another couple and had a great relaxing weekend. Staff where very friendly and helpful, especially Sonia who looked after us for our meals she was such a hardworking but very attentive person. The deal is great value for money and would definately recommend for a getaway. As for the Golf well enough said :).

From start to finish the whole trip was incredible! The staff went above and beyond and were so lovely! The package was such great value, dinner and breakfast were amazing and the golf course was stunning! The room was fabulous as well, loved the fire place. Would absolutely recommend!

Such a great experience with amazing views of New Zealand in all 360 degrees, adventure-loving group of people and bubbles and fruit before departure to celebrate it! The team was helpful, accommodating and with a great sense of humour which made a huge contribution to the fun we had! We definitely have become baloonatics after the flight ?
