Hot Air Ballooning Over Canterbury Plains (Canterbury)

Your early morning, starting at daybreak has very gentle air and being cool, is very clear air. Passenger participation is encouraged to help inflate the balloons. Then as you are gently launched into the morning sky the exhilaration will immediately become apparent. Viewing the sun coming up over the horizon is a very special moment. The Methven location allows height to be utilised for a part of the flight and if broken cloud is around passing through this is something very special. Being close to Mt Hutt and the Southern Alps offers spectacular mountain views, with the expansive patchwork arable farmland below. The Guinness Book of Records have acknowledged that 'The oldest known person in the world to fly in a Hot Air Balloon' at 102, was flown by this supplier. Normal balloon flight experiences are up to four hours, of which about one hour is the actual flight. At the flight conclusion the passengers celebrate with a buffet champagne style breakfast. A Flight Certificate, Information Sheet and In Flight Photos are offered at the conclusion of the venture.
