Hot Air Ballooning - Christchurch New Zealand

Balloon flights at sunrise. There is no other place in the world where it is possible to fly from the centre of the city in view of the ocean toward snow-capped mountains. As the sun rises the flight silently takes off over the checker-board of farmlands laced with rivers. The Southern Alps dominate the horizon to the west and the endless blue ocean to the east. Your ballooning experience will entertain you for 3 to 4 hours. It is a period of time that you will be talking about far into the future. The actual flying time is about one hour with balloon preparation briefing landing pack away and the sipping of champagne occupying the remainder of the time. It is fascinating to be a part of all aspects of this ballooning experience. After landing in a farmer's field relax and enjoy the early morning atmosphere over a complimentary glass of chilled Methode Champenois. You will also be presented with a flight certificate as a memento of your ballooning experience.
